Best New jedi order book?

I need to know whith one to buy.

I wouldn't recomend reading only one NJO Book...

the NJO book are all sequential, so if you want to read, start with the first one...

Vector Prime

Here is the full NJO timeline:

The New Jedi Order:

_______ #2: Ruin (to chapter 34)
___ Agents of Chaos

_______ #2: Jedi Eclipse
___ Balance Point
___ Edge of Victory
_______ #1: Conquest
_______ #2: Rebirth
___ Star by Star
Dark Journey
___ Enemy Lines
_______ #1: Rebel Dream
_______ #2: Rebel Stand
___ Traitor
____ Force Heretic
_______ #1: Remnant
_______ #2: Refugee
_______ #3: Reunion
___ The Final Prophecy
___ The Unifying Force

Dude, thats a lot of fvcking books.

Which are the ones that are essential reading?

There's only one book among the NJO series that can be truly qualified as "the best": Vector Prime.

When that f*cker got squashed I was soooooooo happy.

What happend in Vector Prime?

LOL read it. After I read the Thrawn Trilogy I jumped right to the NJO. That was my mistake, you miss out on soo much. I recently went back and I am currently reading all the novels that I missed. And yes I started with the Thrawn trilogy again, actually before Thrawn with the courtship of Leia. I am currently at the stupid young jedi knights novels... tedious reading as it was meant for young teens, but you will be happy yea read it once you pick up the NJO books.

All of them... they are a sequential series. They are not stand alone.

Yeah right. I jumped in in Force Heretic and I understood what was going on. You don't need to read all the books (6000 + pages 😬) to get through the story. In fact as I recall nothing much even happened in Heretic.

Get the full set from Amazon. You can get the whole set for as low as $20/used.

But, if you get only one, get Traitor. This is where Jacen becomes ridiculously powerful.
