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. Praise for
