NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Set between the events of Return of the
Jedi and The Force Awakens, the never-before-told story that began
with Star Wars: Aftermath continues in this thrilling novel, the
second book of Chuck Wendig's bestselling trilogy.
It is a dark time for the Empire. . . .
The Emperor is dead, and the remnants of his former Empire are in
retreat. As the New Republic fights to restore a lasting peace to the
galaxy, some dare to imagine new beginnings and new destinies. For Han
Solo, that means settling his last outstanding debt, by helping
Chewbacca liberate the Wookiee's homeworld of Kashyyyk.
Meanwhile, Norra Wexley and her band of Imperial hunters pursue Grand
Admiral Rae Sloane and the Empire's remaining leadership across the
galaxy. Even as more and more officers are brought to justice, Sloane
continues to elude the New Republic, and Norra fears Sloane may be
searching for a means to save the crumbling Empire from oblivion. But
the hunt for Sloane is cut short when Norra receives an urgent request
from Princess Leia Organa. The attempt to liberate Kashyyyk has carried
Han Solo, Chewbacca, and a band of smugglers into an ambush--resulting
in Chewie's capture and Han's disappearance.
Breaking away from their official mission and racing toward the
Millennium Falcon's last known location, Norra and her crew prepare
for any challenge that stands between them and their missing comrades.
But they can't anticipate the true depth of the danger that awaits
them--or the ruthlessness of the enemy drawing them into his crosshairs.
