From the Back Cover:

A LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY...

It is a time of renewal, five years after the destruction of the Death Star and the defeat of Darth Vader and the Empire.

But with the war seemingly won, strains are now beginning to show in the rebel alliance. New challenges to galactic peace have arisen, and Luke Skywalker hears a voice from his past, a voice with a warning.

Beware the Dark Side...

HEIR TO THE EMPIRE is the first of a three-book cycle which picks up where the movie trilogy left off.
