NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \u2022 Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/p>\n

\u201cStar Wars: Aftermath [reveals] what happened after the events of 1983\u2019s Return of the Jedi. It turns out, there\u2019s more than just the Empire for the good guys to worry about.\u201d\u2014The Hollywood Reporter<\/p>\n

As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance\u2014now a fledgling New Republic\u2014presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy\u2019s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy\u2019s 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\u2019s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on the planet\u2019s surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native world\u2014war 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\u2019s urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesn\u2019t know is just how close the enemy is\u2014or how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be.<\/p>\n

Determined to preserve the Empire\u2019s power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summit\u2014to consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they haven\u2019t reckoned on Norra and her newfound allies\u2014her technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defector\u2014who are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empire\u2019s oppressive reign once and for all.<\/p>\n

Praise for Aftermath<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Force is strong with Star Wars: Aftermath.\u201d\u2014Alternative Nation<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Star Wars universe is fresh and new again, and just as rich and mysterious as it always was.\u201d\u2014Den of Geek<\/p>\n

\u201c[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.\u201d\u2014Nerdist<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the opening chapter of the Wendig\u2019s Aftermath trilogy is any indication, the \u2018Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens\u2019 will be every bit as exciting as the movie.\u201d\u2014New York Daily News<\/p>\n
