Prologue

Space was silent.

The boundless vacuum, filled with blazing stars and explosions of life, now seemed just the opposite: utterly lifeless. It was as if in that one moment, everything froze in its place in time. No howl, scream, word, whisper or even breath, broke the universal hush. As quickly as it came though, it was gone, as a piercing scream ripped through the quiet's fabric and the bustling, swirling life again filled the galaxy. The young scream, a first of many to be sure, echoed in the minds of the few talented, sensitive individuals remaining in the galaxy. But, as all echoes do, the sound faded, leaving these uncommon persons to forget the miracle they had been privy to. Except for those lucky of the few who, by ordinary undistinguishable logic or unconceivable forces, understood this momentous event. Of those, only two voices, thousands of light years apart, and unaware of the other, spoke one word, one name, together in perfect unison:

"Luke."
