Lit Ascension summation?

So I finally picked up Apocalypse from the library the other day and started reading it last night. . . and quickly realized that I had no clue what the hell had happened in the previous book(s). It's been well over a year since I read the last chapter and frankly it didn't make much of an impression on me, so while I can remember the high level stuff - Jedi going crazy, Luke running around with a Sith, The New Republic in all kinds of political trouble because they elected an imperial war-criminal as a President and so on - I don't remember any of the specific details.

The Wikipedia is useless in that regard - no entry for the book whatsoever - and my google-fu is weak. So can someone point me towards a "Previously in Fate of the Jedi" so I can get up to speed.
