Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The heroes of the High Republic era return to face a shattered peace and a fearsome foe, following the dramatic events of Light of the Jedi.

In the wake of the hyperspace disaster and the heroism of the Jedi, the Republic continues to grow, bringing more worlds together under a single unified banner. Under the leadership of Chancellor Lina Soh, the spirit of unity extends throughout the galaxy, with the Jedi and the newly established Starlight Beacon station at the vanguard.

In celebration, the chancellor plans the Republic Fair, a showcase of the possibilities and the peace of the expanding Republic—a peace the Jedi hope to foster. Stellan Gios, Bell Zettifar, Elzar Mann, and others join the event as ambassadors of harmony. But as the eyes of the galaxy turn toward the fair, so too does the fury of the Nihil. Their leader, Marchion Ro, is intent on destroying this unity. His storm descends on the pageantry and celebration, sowing chaos and exacting revenge.

As the Jedi struggle to curb the carnage of the rampaging Nihil, they come face-to-face with the true fear their enemy plans to unleash across the galaxy—the kind of fear from which even the Force cannot shield them.

A great book. I enjoyed this book even more than the first book (Light of the Jedi). This book is a lot more action-packed and a lot more character development.

4.75 stars. “The Spirit of Unity.” This was such an amazing continuation to what is quickly becoming my favorite time in the Star Wars canon timeline. If I had to describe it in one word I would say intense is the best one for the job. Light of the Jedi was, without a doubt, my favorite......more

Goodreads review by Gerhard on May 13, 2022

Long ago in a franchise that seems to have become increasingly diluted … So, ‘The High Republic’ is a massive new Disney multimedia project that includes novels like this one, as well as comics and other books aimed specifically at a YA audience. (It follows Disney’s controversial decision to rebran......more

FULL REVIEW: [URL not allowed] --- The Rising Storm clocks in at about 450 pages, but that’s nothing to be intimidated about. The book itself is compelling and a page-turner. Just when things are getting exciting (aka: bad for our heroes), they somehow get even more exciting (ak......more
