NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian return in this essential novel set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
The Empire is dead. Nearly two decades after the Battle of Endor, the tattered remnants of Palpatine’s forces have fled to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. But for the heroes of the New Republic, danger and loss are ever-present companions, even in this newly forged era of peace.
Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of the dark side, foretelling an ominous secret growing somewhere in the depths of space, on a dead world called Exegol. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable . . . and Luke’s worst fears are confirmed when his old friend Lando Calrissian comes to him with reports of a new Sith menace.
After Lando’s daughter was stolen from his arms, he searched the stars for any trace of his lost child. But every new rumor leads only to dead ends and fading hopes—until he crosses paths with Ochi of Bestoon, a Sith assassin tasked with kidnapping a young girl.
Ochi’s true motives remain shrouded to Luke and Lando. For on a junkyard moon, a mysterious envoy of the Sith Eternal has bequeathed a sacred blade to the assassin, promising that it will answer the questions that have haunted him since the Empire fell. In exchange, he must complete a final mission: Return to Exegol with the key to the Sith’s glorious rebirth—Rey, the granddaughter of Darth Sidious himself.
As Ochi hunts Rey and her parents to the edge of the galaxy, Luke and Lando race into the mystery of the Sith’s lingering shadow and aid a young family running for their lives.
Customer Reviews
Another amazing SW Novel
I loved this novel, it’s great hearing from Luke again post-Return and pre-Last Jedi. It was really great hearing a Lando/Luke adventure, and nice having Lando get some character development. I gave this a 4 star review and not a 5 only because some of the music choices in certain scenes didn’t seem to match up with what was happening. I also noticed some reviews were talking about not enjoying the narrator but I didn’t find a single thing wrong with him.
Saying goodby to Star Wars
Poorly written…. It seemed like I was being forced fed counter stereotypes throughout the book. The original canon, what they call “legends” now, was a far superior story line of books than this Disney controlled garbage they are producing now. Just really disappointed in the direction Disney has taken Star Wars. At this point not really sure it can be saved.
One of the BEST Star Wars novels
Just… WOW!!! I was blown away by how GOOD this book is!!!
