Publisher Description
In the blockbuster bestselling tradition of Heir to the Empire comes this thrilling addition to the Star Wars(r) saga, as peace gives way to a new threat...
It is a time of tranquillity for the New Republic. The remnants of the Empire now lie in complete disarray, and the reemergence of the Jedi Knights has brought power and prestige to the fledgling government on Coruscant. Yesterday's Rebels have become today's administrators and diplomats, and the factions that fought against imperial tyranny seem united in savoring the fruits of peace.
But the peace is short-lived. A restless Luke must journey to his mother's homeworld in a desperate and dangerous quest to find her people. An adventurous Lando must seize a mysterious spacecraft that has weapons of enormous destructive power and an unknown mission. And Leia, a living symbol of the New Republic's triumph, must face down a ruthless leader of the Duskhan League, an arrogant Yevetha who seems bent on a genocidal war that could shatter the fragile unity of the New Republic...and threaten its very survival.
Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!
Customer Reviews
It’s ok
I liked this novel ok but maybe it’s more how bad the previous handful of novels were. This story leans a bit more sci-fi as opposed to fantasy and I always thought Star Wars blended the two together well. It’s odd that outside of the Thrawn trilogy and KJA’s academy trilogy the main cast has not been written well and they seem very out of character in this novel Leia specifically. Luke is sort of MIA most of this book but it’s odd all the criticism TLJ got Luke seems to have similar thoughts about leaving (obviously different reasons but still). I think Lando is more the highlight of the novel and his search for the Black Fleet. I thought it was an interesting mystery and Lando has to navigate in his own way the politics and chain of command in charge of the mission
