Book Review By Janet
I, Jedi by Stackpole

Corran Horn, the main character comes home one eavening to find his wife has gone missing. In his search for her, he learns to balance his security force investigative skills with his newly discovered Jedi Powers. He goes from one extreme to the other, trying to find a happy medium, and meets many other expanded universe characters along the way. Story takes place during the Jedi Accademy trilogy, and there are several parallels. Corran Finds in the end not only his wife, but that he is a better pilot and husband by combining his skills.
