NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . .
Â
A thrilling new adventure set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, andâ€”for the first time everâ€”written entirely from Luke Skywalkerâ€™s first-person point of view.

Luke Skywalkerâ€™s game-changing destruction of the Death Star has made him not only a hero of the Rebel Alliance but a valuable asset in the ongoing battle against the Empire. Though heâ€™s a long way from mastering the power of the Force, thereâ€™s no denying his phenomenal skills as a pilotâ€”and in the eyes of Rebel leaders Princess Leia Organa and Admiral Ackbar, thereâ€™s no one better qualified to carry out a daring rescue mission crucial to the Alliance cause.
Â
A brilliant alien cryptographer renowned for her ability to breach even the most advanced communications systems is being detained by Imperial agents determined to exploit her exceptional talents for the Empireâ€™s purposes. But the prospective spyâ€™s sympathies lie with the Rebels, and sheâ€™s willing to join their effort in exchange for being reunited with her family. Itâ€™s an opportunity to gain a critical edge against the Empire thatâ€™s too precious to pass up. Itâ€™s also a job that demands the element of surprise. So Luke and the ever-resourceful droid R2-D2 swap their trusty X-wing fighter for a sleek space yacht piloted by brash recruit Nakari Kelen, daughter of a biotech mogul, whoâ€™s got a score of her own to settle with the Empire.
Â
Challenged by ruthless Imperial bodyguards, death-dealing enemy battleships, merciless bounty hunters, and monstrous brain-eating parasites, Luke plunges head-on into a high-stakes espionage operation that will push his abilities as a Rebel fighter and would-be Jedi to the limit. If ever he needed the wisdom of Obi-Wan Kenobi to shepherd him through danger, itâ€™s now. But Luke will have to rely on himself, his friends, and his own burgeoning relationship with the Force to survive.

â€œPure Star Wars . . . From shoot-outs to narrow escapes, I could practically hear John Williamsâ€™s score playing in my headâ€”a credit to Kevin Hearne, to be sure.â€â€”Coffee with Kenobi
