Book Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian return in this essential novel set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.

The Empire is dead. Nearly two decades after the Battle of Endor, the tattered remnants of Palpatine’s forces have fled to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. But for the heroes of the New Republic, danger and loss are ever-present companions, even in this newly forged era of peace.

Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is haunted by visions of the dark side, foretelling an ominous secret growing somewhere in the depths of space, on a dead world called Exegol. The disturbance in the Force is undeniable . . . and Luke’s worst fears are confirmed when his old friend Lando Calrissian comes to him with reports of a new Sith menace.

After Lando’s daughter was stolen from his arms, he searched the stars for any trace of his lost child. But every new rumor leads only to dead ends and fading hopes—until he crosses paths with Ochi of Bestoon, a Sith assassin tasked with kidnapping a young girl.

Ochi’s true motives remain shrouded to Luke and Lando. For on a junkyard moon, a mysterious envoy of the Sith Eternal has bequeathed a sacred blade to the assassin, promising that it will answer the questions that have haunted him since the Empire fell. In exchange, he must complete a final mission: Return to Exegol with the key to the Sith’s glorious rebirth—Rey, the granddaughter of Darth Sidious himself.

As Ochi hunts Rey and her parents to the edge of the galaxy, Luke and Lando race into the mystery of the Sith’s lingering shadow and aid a young family running for their lives.

    I adored this book. It adds a refreshing and dark new layer to The Rise of Skywalker, with Luke and Lando’s chemistry guiding it. Highly recommended for any Star Wars fan.

    While it was a joy to visit with Lando and Luke, the story took tooling to coalesce and mature. Once it did, it was, at times, confusing despite also being predictable. More, it was difficult to read (reconcile) about Luke in this story in light of the version of Luke we were given in The Last Jedi. Furthermore, it was surprising to read a story so engaged with Luke and Lando without some measure of Leia and Han being mentioned. How is it Luke or Lando don’t mention them? At all? This book is certainly worth a read but I can’t envision me ever reading this again. Disney still seems unable to capture the written magic we all enjoyed from the authors who wrote the, now, “legends”stories. “For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire.”-Kenobi

    Finally! Master Luke has returned. This us the first novel in the new cannon to feature Luke and it does not disappoint. This is a bridge novel between ROTJ and TFA and finally sheds some light as to what our heroes (Luke and Lando) are up to. It also peels the onion a bit on Rise of Skywalker while not a favorite of mine this book allows it to make a little more sense. It also dives into some great history of the Sith. Overall a fantastic book and maybe my new favorite cannon novel. More of this please!
