Resumen del Editor

New York Times best seller

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 best-selling 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.

It's just okay.

The epilogue is the best part of the book. That says it all. I think it's an important story but I found it hard to finish. That says a lot with Marc Thompson as the narrator. He's always fantastic.

7/10. Good story and setup for new movie universe.

not as good as most "legends" books but good for the new movie cannon line.

big step up

the first book was a bit of a let down. this second novel was a night and day difference.

taken to that Galaxy far, far away...

I was totally lost in the fantasy. The narrator brought the story to life. I could actually visualize the story around me. As if I was smack can in the middle of it.

Compared to the first it was alot better

I think this is becoming a good gap filler from ROJ to TFA, there zoom good plot twist as well.

Bad and the good

First, the good. It helps with the overall understanding of the beginning of the 2nd galactic cilvl war (first order v.s. The resistance) I like the story to.

Second, the bad. There was some suggestive parts... I did not like that. Along with some Gayness.

Good addition to star wars

Narrator was great but like the rest of the most recent audio releases the background noises are really distracting from the story and the narrator.

Exciting continuation of Star Wars

Great book with great performance. The book is part of a trilogy that continues the Star Wars saga. Obviously just read first book before reading this

A Great Book 2

Really well put together. Includes incredible voice acting, sound effects, music, and a great story, much i'.proved from the first book in the series. Can't wait to move on to book three.

A great Improvement over first book

I liked the story a lot. It was much better than the first book in the trilogy. It flowed much better & it was much more interesting. Even Timon was less annoying in this one. To be honest, I don't really have much negative to say about this book. And I look forward to listening to the final book of the trilogy.
