ā€œStar Wars: Aftermath [reveals] what happened after the events of 1983ā€™s Return of the Jedi. It turns out, thereā€™s more than just the Empire for the good guys to worry about.ā€ā€”The Hollywood Reporter
 
As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Allianceā€”now a fledgling New Republicā€”presses its advantage by hunting down the enemyā€™s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemyā€™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 heā€™s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.
 
Meanwhile, on the planetā€™s surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native worldā€”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 Antillesā€™s urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesnā€™t know is just how close the enemy isā€”or how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be.
 
Determined to preserve the Empireā€™s power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summitā€”to consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they havenā€™t reckoned on Norra and her newfound alliesā€”her technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defectorā€”who are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empireā€™s oppressive reign once and for all.

Praise for Aftermath
 
ā€œThe Force is strong with Star Wars: Aftermath.ā€ā€”Alternative Nation
 
ā€œThe Star Wars universe is fresh and new again, and just as rich and mysterious as it always was.ā€ā€”Den of Geek

ā€œ[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.ā€ā€”Nerdist
 
ā€œIf the opening chapter of the Wendigā€™s Aftermath trilogy is any indication, the ā€˜Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakensā€™ will be every bit as exciting as the movie.ā€ā€”New York Daily News
 
ā€œA wonderful Star Wars adventure by a gifted author.ā€ā€”SF Book Reviews
