Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The heroes of the High Republic era return to face a shattered peace and a fearsome foe, following the dramatic events of Light of the Jedi.
In the wake of the hyperspace disaster and the heroism of the Jedi, the Republic continues to grow, bringing more worlds together under a single unified banner. Under the leadership of Chancellor Lina Soh, the spirit of unity extends throughout the galaxy, with the Jedi and the newly established Starlight Beacon station at the vanguard.
In celebration, the chancellor plans the Republic Fair, a showcase of the possibilities and the peace of the expanding Republic—a peace the Jedi hope to foster. Stellan Gios, Bell Zettifar, Elzar Mann, and others join the event as ambassadors of harmony. But as the eyes of the galaxy turn toward the fair, so too does the fury of the Nihil. Their leader, Marchion Ro, is intent on destroying this unity. His storm descends on the pageantry and celebration, sowing chaos and exacting revenge.
As the Jedi struggle to curb the carnage of the rampaging Nihil, they come face-to-face with the true fear their enemy plans to unleash across the galaxy—the kind of fear from which even the Force cannot shield them.
Customer Reviews
The Empire Strikes Back of the High Republic
The events of the Republic Fair deserve their spot among the most tumultuous events ever to take place in a galaxy far far away.
Outstanding
Of the 25+ Star Wars novels I’ve read and listened to, this is the undisputed Champion. Marc Thompson always puts on an amazing show for his listeners, and the story itself is unparalleled.
Not good
Good narrator. I would enjoy it more if I didn’t feel the writer trying to force things in our universe into the Star Wars universe.
