The New Jedi Order is a major Star Wars novel series that ran from 1999 to 2003, with 39 entries including full-length novels, duologies, and short stories. The series begins with Vector Prime and follows the heroes of the original Star Wars trilogy as they face the Yuuzhan Vong, an extragalactic invading force that threatens the entire galaxy. The story is told across multiple sub-series, including Dark Tide, Agents of Chaos, Edge of Victory, Enemy Lines, and Force Heretic, each contributing different chapters to the larger conflict.

The books are best read in publication order, since events in one installment carry forward into the next and character arcs stretch across the full run. The New Jedi Order was one of the most ambitious publishing projects in Star Wars fiction, with multiple authors contributing novels that fit together into a single sprawling narrative. Readers who enjoy large-scale space opera with ongoing consequences and a big cast of returning characters will find plenty here to work through.
