THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Long before the First Order, before the Empire, before even The Phantom Menace . . . Jedi lit the way for the galaxy in The High Republic.

It

is a golden age for the galaxy.

Intrepid hyperspace scouts expand the reach of the

Republic to the furthest stars, worlds flourish under the benevolent

leadership of the Senate, and peace reigns, enforced by the wisdom and

strength of the renowned order of Force users known as the Jedi. With

the Jedi at the height of their power, the free citizens of the galaxy

are confident in their ability to weather any storm But the even

brightest light can cast a shadow, and some storms defy any preparation.

When

a shocking catastrophe in hyperspace tears a ship to pieces, the flurry

of shrapnel emerging from the disaster threatens an entire system. No

sooner does the call for help go out than the Jedi race to the scene.

The scope of the emergence, however, is enough to push even Jedi to

their limit. As the sky breaks open and destruction rains down upon the

peaceful alliance they helped to build, the Jedi must trust in the Force

to see them through a day in which a single mistake could cost billions

of lives.

Even as the Jedi battle valiantly against calamity,

something truly deadly grows beyond the boundary of the Republic. The

hyperspace disaster is far more sinister than the Jedi could ever

suspect. A threat hides in the darkness, far from the light of the age,

and harbours a secret that could strike fear into even a Jedi's heart.
