The Empire has taken over the galaxy. Anakin Skywalker is now Darth Vader. Most of the Jedi are gone . . . . . . but a few remain. And it is up to former Jedi apprentice Ferus Olin and his streetsmart sidekick Trever to find them. No lead is too big or too small . . . even if it means walking into a trap set by the Empire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Wonderful Book , December 13, 2005

By	Andromeda (USA) - See all my reviews

Jude Watson paints such a vivid picture in your mind. It picks up right where #2 left off Ferus is standing in the rain staring at the Jedi Temple. You feel every emotion Ferus is going through. When he and Trever are going throw the Temple it is heartbreaking. Ferus is still looking for another Jedi which leads him far down below where other of Palpatine's enemies have fled too. You get a very good idea how things are in this new Empire. A better picture of the relationship between Vader and Malorum. When you get to the last page of the book your dying to get a hold of the next book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Underworld" is incredible!, April 9, 2006

By	accolademaiden (Sunny Florida) - See all my reviews

What a great continuation to the series! We get to go back to Coruscant and travel through her underbelly where those who don't want to be found go. Ferus is once again on his hunt to rescue a missing Jedi. But this time he'll have the help of Obi-Wan's old friend Dexter. What he finds is quite unexpected. Here we see where a true Jedi's loyalty lies. There's more action and adventure to be found in this story. You won't be able to put this book down!

Underworld
The Last of the Jedi #3
-by Jude Watson

The Story
Ferus and Trever are trying to save a Jedi who is rumored to be held prisoner in the Jedi Temple. Ferus was a Jedi, once, and resigned. However, now he's trying to become a Jedi again. Trever wants to stay with Ferus and refuses every chance to leave.

The two sneak into the Jedi temple and try to evade stromtroopers, who work for the tyrraninal emperor. Ferus doesn't only try to fight the stormtroopers in the temple but also his feelings and memories from when he was a Jedi.

As they look for a possible prison in the Temple, they find that the rumors are made to lead surviving Jedi into traps. There really was no captive Jedi. Ferus and Trever flee the temple hastily.

Ferus and Trever meet, soon afterwards, and old friend Dexter Jettster. Dex has joined a group called the Eraced, which helps people disappear from the Empire. He tells them that one Jedi went to the crust after talking to him and said that if he ever needed her, he should look for Solace.

Then, part of the Erased, Ferus, and Trever go to find Solace, a place rumored to be on or even underneath the crust of Coruscant (the crust is the lowest level on the planet).

Finally, under the crust, they find a guide to lead them to Solace, but Ferus feels that there is something off. Will Ferus discover what that is, or will it be too late?

Recommendations
This book is greatly written and anyone who has read the first two Last of the Jedi books should read it. I loved it and read it at least four times, if not more. I can't wait for the next book to come out.
