Series: High Republic: Middle Grade

Centuries before the Clone Wars or the Empire, in the early days of the High Republic, it was an age of great exploration in a galaxy far, far away. . . .

It is a time of uncertainty in the Outer Rim. Communications are unstable across the frontier, and rumours swirl of conflict between the Jedi Knights and a group known as the Path of the Open Hand. But none of that slows down the Republic’s two most powerful prospecting families, the Grafs and the San Tekkas, who announce the Hyperspace Chase, a contest to chart new hyperlanes.

Young prospector Dass Leffbruk and brash teenager Sky Graf have their sights set on winning the race; they just need one more person to help them achieve their goal: Jedi Padawan Rooper Nitani. But after Rooper reluctantly agrees to join the team, she learns that their real plan is to find the mysterious and legendary Planet X.

The trio’s quest takes an unexpected turn when they come into contact with members of the Path of the Open Hand. Their journey is about to become more exciting and dangerous than they ever could have expected, and the three heroes will have to put their goals aside to help the Jedi – and the galaxy – before it’s too late!
