Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens &“Star Wars: Aftermath [reveals] what happened after the events of 1983&’s Return of the Jedi. It turns out, there&’s more than just the Empire for the good guys to worry about.&”—The Hollywood Reporter As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance—now a fledgling New Republic—presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy&’s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy&’s 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 he&’s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders. Meanwhile, on the planet&’s surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native world—war weary, ready to reunite with her estranged son, and eager to build a new life in some distant place. But when Norra intercepts Wedge Antilles&’s urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesn&’t know is just how close the enemy is—or how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be. Determined to preserve the Empire&’s power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summit—to consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they haven&’t reckoned on Norra and her newfound allies—her technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defector—who are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empire&’s oppressive reign once and for all.Praise for Aftermath &“The Force is strong with Star Wars: Aftermath.&”—Alternative Nation &“The Star Wars universe is fresh and new again, and just as rich and mysterious as it always was.&”—Den of Geek&“[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.&”—Nerdist &“If the opening chapter of the Wendig&’s Aftermath trilogy is any indication, the &‘Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens&’ will be every bit as exciting as the movie.&”—New York Daily News &“A wonderful Star Wars adventure by a gifted author.&”—SF Book Reviews
