Aftermath: Star Wars (Star Wars: The Aftermath Trilogy)

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ò Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens ôStar Wars: Aftermath [reveals] what happened after the events of 1983Æs Return of the Jedi. It turns out, thereÆs more than just the Empire for the good guys to worry about.öùThe Hollywood Reporter As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Allianceùnow a fledgling New Republicùpresses its advantage by hunting down the enemyÆs scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemyÆs strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but heÆs taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders. Meanwhile, on the planetÆs surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native worldùwar weary, ready to reunite with her estranged son, and eager to build a new life in some distant place. But when Norra intercepts Wedge AntillesÆs urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesnÆt know is just how close the enemy isùor how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be. Determined to preserve the EmpireÆs power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summitùto consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they havenÆt reckoned on Norra and her newfound alliesùher technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defectorùwho are prepared to do whatever they must to end the EmpireÆs oppressive reign once and for all. Praise for Aftermath ôThe Force is strong with Star Wars: Aftermath.öùAlternative Nation ôThe Star Wars universe is fresh and new again, and just as rich and mysterious as it always was.öùDen of Geek ô[Chuck] Wendig neatly captures the current states of the Empire and Rebel Alliance and does so through flawed, real, and nuanced characters. His writing gets you up close and personal. . . . Wendig does wonders with dialogue and voice and carving out space for everyone to breathe. Aftermath is a strong foot forward into unexplored territory and puts down just enough foundation that you can start picturing the Resistance and First Order of The Force Awakens taking shape.öùNerdist ôIf the opening chapter of the WendigÆs Aftermath trilogy is any indication, the æJourney to Star Wars: The Force AwakensÆ will be every bit as exciting as the movie.öùNew York Daily News ôA wonderful Star Wars adventure by a gifted author.öùSF Book Reviews
