NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ā¢ Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens
āStar Wars: Aftermath [reveals] what happened after the events of 1983ās Return of the Jedi. It turns out, thereās more than just the Empire for the good guys to worry about.āāThe Hollywood Reporter
As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Allianceānow a fledgling New Republicāpresses its advantage by hunting down the enemyās scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemyās 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 heās taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.
Meanwhile, on the planetās surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native worldāwar weary, ready to reunite with her estranged son, and eager to build a new life in some distant place. But when Norra intercepts Wedge Antillesās urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesnāt know is just how close the enemy isāor how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be.
Determined to preserve the Empireās power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summitāto consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they havenāt reckoned on Norra and her newfound alliesāher technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defectorāwho are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empireās oppressive reign once and for all.

āThe Force is strong with Star Wars: Aftermath.āāAlternative Nation
āThe Star Wars universe is fresh and new again, and just as rich and mysterious as it always was.āāDen of Geek
ā[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.āāNerdist
āIf the opening chapter of the Wendigās Aftermath trilogy is any indication, the āJourney to Star Wars: The Force Awakensā will be every bit as exciting as the movie.āāNew York Daily News
āA wonderful Star Wars adventure by a gifted author.āāSF Book Reviews
