**#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Long before the First Order, before
the Empire, before even The Phantom Menace . . . Jedi lit the way for
the galaxy in The High Republic
**
It is a golden age. Intrepid hyperspace scouts expand the reach of the
Republic to the furthest stars, worlds flourish under the benevolent
leadership of the Senate, and peace reigns, enforced by the wisdom and
strength of the renowned order of Force users known as the Jedi. With
the Jedi at the height of their power, the free citizens of the galaxy
are confident in their ability to weather any storm But the even
brightest light can cast a shadow, and some storms defy any preparation.
When a shocking catastrophe in hyperspace tears a ship to pieces, the
flurry of shrapnel emerging from the disaster threatens an entire
system. No sooner does the call for help go out than the Jedi race to
the scene. The scope of the emergence, however, is enough to push even
Jedi to their limit. As the sky breaks open and destruction rains down
upon the peaceful alliance they helped to build, the Jedi must trust in
the Force to see them through a day in which a single mistake could cost
billions of lives.
Even as the Jedi battle valiantly against calamity, something truly
deadly grows beyond the boundary of the Republic. The hyperspace
disaster is far more sinister than the Jedi could ever suspect. A threat
hides in the darkness, far from the light of the age, and harbors a
secret that could strike fear into even a Jedi's heart.
