Synopsis:

<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER &bull; Journey to <i>Star Wars:&#160;The Force Awakens</i></b><br> &#160;<br><b>&ldquo;<i>Star Wars: Aftermath </i>[reveals] what happened <i>after</i> the events of 1983&rsquo;s <i>Return of the Jedi</i>. It turns out, there&rsquo;s more than just the Empire for the good guys to worry about.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>The Hollywood Reporter</i></b><br> <b>&#160;</b><br> As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance&mdash;now a fledgling New Republic&mdash;presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy&rsquo;s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy&rsquo;s strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but he&rsquo;s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.<br> &#160;<br> Meanwhile, on the planet&rsquo;s surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native world&mdash;war weary, ready to reunite with her estranged son, and eager to build a new life in some distant place. But when Norra intercepts Wedge Antilles&rsquo;s urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesn&rsquo;t know is just how close the enemy is&mdash;or how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be.<br> &#160;<br> Determined to preserve the Empire&rsquo;s power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summit&mdash;to consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they haven&rsquo;t reckoned on Norra and her newfound allies&mdash;her technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defector&mdash;who are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empire&rsquo;s oppressive reign once and for all.<br><br><b>Praise for <i>Aftermath</i></b><br> <b><i>&#160;</i></b><br> &ldquo;The Force is strong with <i>Star Wars: Aftermath</i>.&rdquo;<b><i>&mdash;Alternative Nation</i></b><br> <i>&#160;</i><br> &ldquo;The <i>Star Wars</i> universe is fresh and new again, and just as rich and mysterious as it always was.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;<i>Den of Geek</i></b><br><br>&ldquo;[Chuck] Wendig neatly captures the current states of the Empire and Rebel Alliance and does so through flawed, real, and nuanced characters. His writing gets you up close and personal. . . . Wendig does wonders with dialogue and voice and carving out space for everyone to breathe. <i>Aftermath</i> is a strong foot forward into unexplored territory and puts down just enough foundation that you can start picturing the Resistance and First Order of <i>The Force Awakens</i> taking shape.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;<i>Nerdist</i></b><br> <b><i>&#160;</i></b><br> &ldquo;If the opening chapter of the Wendig&rsquo;s <i>Aftermath</i> trilogy is any indication, the &lsquo;Journey to <i>Star Wars: The Force Awakens</i>&rsquo; will be every bit as exciting as the movie.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;New York <i>Daily News</i></b><br> <b><i>&#160;</i></b><br> &ldquo;A wonderful <i>Star Wars</i> adventure by a gifted author.&rdquo;<b>&mdash;<i>SF Book Reviews</i></b>
