Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo, and Luke Skywalker return in an all-new Star Wars adventure, which will challenge them in ways they never expected—and forever alter their understanding of life and the Force.
 
When Han and Leia Solo arrive at Lando Calrissian’s Outer Rim mining operation to help him thwart a hostile takeover, their aim is just to even up the odds and lay down the law. Then monstrous aliens arrive with a message, and mere threats escalate into violent sabotage with mass fatalities. When the dust settles, what began as corporate warfare becomes a battle with much higher stakes—and far deadlier consequences.
 
Now Han, Leia, and Luke team up once again in a quest to defeat a dangerous adversary bent on galaxy-wide domination. Only this time, the Empire is not the enemy. It is a  pair of ruthless geniuses with a lethal ally and a lifelong vendetta against Han Solo. And when the murderous duo gets the drop on Han, he finds himself outgunned in the fight of his life. To save him, and the galaxy, Luke and Leia must brave a gauntlet of treachery, terrorism, and the untold power of an enigmatic artifact capable of bending space, time, and even the Force itself into an apocalyptic nightmare.

Goodreads review by Alejandro on January 06, 2016

This book is a perfect choice to any fan of Star Wars. If you only watch the films and this is your first novel, it can put you on track about what happened before, during and after the films, not only between the story of the book itself but also with a great resume after the novel where they gi......more

Goodreads review by C on July 11, 2013

I was really disappointed in this one. It's a fast read - I can give it that. Exciting, even, at points. But just not really that great. Between this and the Fate of the Jedi series, I think I'm ready for the inevitable reboot of the EU that will come with the announcement of the sequel trilogy. As so......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on July 21, 2013

I really wish I could have liked this book more than I did. Troy Denning has written some of my least favourite Star Wars EU books and this continues that trend. First the villains the Columi were just so bizarre and I had never heard of Columi before and there was little explanation to what they we......more

Goodreads review by Scott on May 30, 2013

This feels like it got thrown together really fast. The plot seems to have been pulled out of a grab bag. You've got Han Solo's past catching up with him, but also cyborg clones (cloneborgs?), and the metaphysical stuff from the clone wars cartoon we're trying to make relevant to the entire setting......more

Goodreads review by Nathan on April 28, 2013

Fantasy Review Barn Forgive the self-indulgent review. I will give my honest opinion for this newest Star Wars book, but I also want to chime in my thoughts on the Expanded Universe in general. Specifically, with the possibility of a reset coming after the Disney buyout what I hope to see in the next......more
