Synopsis

When rebels clash with renegades, it’s the Empire that may claim the final victory.

Times are desperate for the Rebel Alliance. Harassment by the Empire and a shortage of vital supplies are hindering completion of a new secret base on the ice planet Hoth. So when Mid Rim merchants offer much-needed materials for sale, Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo lead an Alliance delegation to negotiate a deal.

But when treachery forces the rebel ship to flee into territory controlled by pirates, Leia makes a shocking discovery: the fierce marauders come from Leia’s homeworld of Alderaan, recently destroyed by the Death Star. These refugees have turned to pillaging and plundering to survive—and they are in debt to a pirate armada, which will gladly ransom the princess to the vengeful Empire . . . if they find out her true identity.

Struggling with intense feelings of guilt, loyalty, and betrayal, Leia is determined to help her wayward kinspeople, even as Imperial forces are closing in on her own crippled ship. Trapped between lethal cutthroats and brutal oppressors, Leia and Han, along with Luke, Chewbacca, and a battle-ready crew, must defy death—or embrace it—to keep the rebellion alive.

“[A] rollicking Star Wars adventure . . . a book that keeps you eagerly turning pages.”—Roqoo Depot

4.5 Stars for Razor’s Edge: Empire and Rebellion (audiobook) by Martha Wells read by January LaVoy. I really liked Martha Wells’s take on Stars Wars. I’m a big Murderbot fan and it was interesting to see what direction she went in for this story. For me it feels traditional than some of the other po......more

I received this book through Goodreads' First Reads program! Thanks to Goodreads and the author! This was the first Star Wars tie-in book I've read since the original Alan Dean Foster ones, Back In The Day. But I'd heard good things about Martha Wells and was curious to read something by her. What mos......more

Goodreads review by Jerry on October 21, 2018

In recent years, the Star Wars Expanded Universe has veered into inanity...but, Martha Wells brings back everything that made the franchise great in Razor's Edge. Set between Episodes IV and V, this features Han, Leia, Luke, Chewbacca and crew as we came to love them in the old-school films. Even if......more

Goodreads review by Katie on January 13, 2016

I've been meaning to read Martha Wells forever. This is so not where I would've expected to start with her, but WHY NOT? I also never expected to get into Star Wars novels twenty years late for my generation, but, again, WHY NOT? Twenty years ago, I was all about Star Trek and read all of those books......more
