Life Debt: Aftermath (Star Wars) (Star Wars: The Aftermath Trilogy)
Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Set between the events of Return of the Jedi and
The Force Awakens, the never-before-told story that began with Star Wars:
Aftermath continues in this thrilling novel, the second book of Chuck Wendig’s
bestselling trilogy. It is a dark time for the Empire. . . . The Emperor is
dead, and the remnants of his former Empire are in retreat. As the New
Republic fights to restore a lasting peace to the galaxy, some dare to imagine
new beginnings and new destinies. For Han Solo, that means settling his last
outstanding debt, by helping Chewbacca liberate the Wookiee’s homeworld of
Kashyyyk. Meanwhile, Norra Wexley and her band of Imperial hunters pursue
Grand Admiral Rae Sloane and the Empire’s remaining leadership across the
galaxy. Even as more and more officers are brought to justice, Sloane
continues to elude the New Republic, and Norra fears Sloane may be searching
for a means to save the crumbling Empire from oblivion. But the hunt for
Sloane is cut short when Norra receives an urgent request from Princess Leia
Organa. The attempt to liberate Kashyyyk has carried Han Solo, Chewbacca, and
a band of smugglers into an ambush—resulting in Chewie’s capture and Han’s
disappearance. Breaking away from their official mission and racing toward the
Millennium Falcon’s last known location, Norra and her crew prepare for any
challenge that stands between them and their missing comrades. But they can’t
anticipate the true depth of the danger that awaits them—or the ruthlessness
of the enemy drawing them into his crosshairs. Praise for Aftermath: Life Debt
