Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this gripping sequel to Star Wars: The Rising Storm, the light of the Jedi faces its darkest hour.

Time and again, the vicious raiders known as the Nihil have sought to bring the golden age of the High Republic to a fiery end. Time and again, the High Republic has emerged battered and weary but victorious thanks to its Jedi protectors—and there is no monument to their cause grander than the Starlight Beacon.

Hanging like a jewel in the Outer Rim, the Beacon embodies the High Republic at the apex of its aspirations: a hub of culture and knowledge, a bright torch against the darkness of the unknown, and an extended hand of welcome to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. As survivors and refugees flee the Nihil’s attacks, the Beacon and its crew stand ready to shelter and heal. 

The grateful Knights and Padawans of the Jedi Order stationed there finally have a chance to recover—from the pain of their injuries and the grief of their losses. But the storm they thought had passed still rages; they are simply caught in its eye. Marchion Ro, the true mastermind of the Nihil, is preparing his most daring attack yet—one designed to snuff out the light of the Jedi.

Negative reviews are something I dread to write, yet here I must. To be perfectly frank, I really did not enjoy this book. There are a multitude for reasons. One is how different these characters are from previous books. This book is the third in this phase, yet it feels so disconnected, disjointed f......more

Goodreads review by Maggie on January 03, 2022

To quote Jonah Hill in This is the End: “Something not that chill happened.” In a lot of ways, Claudia Gray’s The Fallen Star is the end—at least, the end of the first phase of The High Republic. For the past year, the Project Luminous team has been delivering new novels and comics, creating top-not......more

Goodreads review by Jim on May 27, 2022

Actual rating is 3.5 stars. This is another installment in a huge series from this universe. This series contains novels, short stories, audiobooks, and comics. In this one, the Nihil strike a major blow against the Republic. Really the title of this book could have been The Nihil Strikes Back. I hav......more
