NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Following Star Wars: Aftermath and
Star Wars: Life Debt, Chuck Wendig delivers the exhilarating
conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy set in the years
between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.
EVERY END IS A NEW BEGINNING.
As the final showdown between the New Republic and the Empire draws
near, all eyes turn to a once-isolated planet: Jakku.
The Battle of Endor shattered the Empire, scattering its remaining
forces across the galaxy. But the months following the Rebellion's
victory have not been easy. The fledgling New Republic has suffered a
devastating attack from the Imperial remnant, forcing the new democracy
to escalate its hunt for the hidden enemy.
For her role in the deadly ambush, Grand Admiral Rae Sloane is the most
wanted Imperial war criminal--and one-time rebel pilot Norra Wexley,
back in service at Leia's urgent request, is leading the hunt. But more
than just loyalty to the New Republic drives Norra forward: Her husband
was turned into a murderous pawn in Sloane's assassination plot, and now
she wants vengeance as much as justice.
Sloane, too, is on a furious quest: pursuing the treacherous Gallius Rax
to the barren planet Jakku. As the true mastermind behind the Empire's
devastating attack, Rax has led the Empire to its defining moment. The
cunning strategist has gathered the powerful remnants of the Empire's
war machine, preparing to execute the late Emperor Palpatine's final
plan. As the Imperial fleet orbits Jakku, an armada of Republic fighters
closes in to finish what began at Endor. Norra and her crew soar into
the heart of an apocalyptic clash that will leave land and sky alike
scorched. And the future of the galaxy will finally be decided.
