NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Following Star Wars: Aftermath and Star Wars: Life Debt, Chuck Wendig delivers the exhilarating conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy set in the years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.EVERY END IS A NEW BEGINNING.
As the final showdown between the New Republic and the Empire draws near, all eyes turn to a once-isolated planet: Jakku.
The Battle of Endor shattered the Empire, scattering its remaining forces across the galaxy. But the months following the Rebellion s victory have not been easy. The fledgling New Republic has suffered a devastating attack from the Imperial remnant, forcing the new democracy to escalate its hunt for the hidden enemy.
For her role in the deadly ambush, Grand Admiral Rae Sloane is the most wanted Imperial war criminal and one-time rebel pilot Norra Wexley, back in service at Leia s urgent request, is leading the hunt. But more than just loyalty to the New Republic drives Norra forward: Her husband was turned into a murderous pawn in Sloane s assassination plot, and now she wants vengeance as much as justice.
Sloane, too, is on a furious quest: pursuing the treacherous Gallius Rax to the barren planet Jakku. As the true mastermind behind the Empire s devastating attack, Rax has led the Empire to its defining moment. The cunning strategist has gathered the powerful remnants of the Empire s war machine, preparing to execute the late Emperor Palpatine s final plan. As the Imperial fleet orbits Jakku, an armada of Republic fighters closes in to finish what began at Endor. Norra and her crew soar into the heart of an apocalyptic clash that will leave land and sky alike scorched. And the future of the galaxy will finally be decided.

Lese-Probe zu „Star Wars: Empire's End: Aftermath “
Leia startles at the sound of a furious pounding on the door, her knee banging into the table above which a glittering star map is projected. The map flickers, and when the voice comes through the door Leia! Leia! she struggles to stand swiftly, almost forgetting the tremendous living weight around her midsection. The child inside her kicks and tumbles as she endeavors to get upright. Calm down, little angel. You ll be free soon enough. Mum, says her protocol droid, T-2LC. It appears as if someone is at the door.
Yes, I hear that, Elsie. She winces as she moves out from around the couch. That couch was supposed to be comfortable but all it does is swallow her up like a devouring sarlacc. It s just Han.
Is he in danger, mum? He sounds like he s in danger. Should I open the door? I don t want to let the danger in, but
Leia, damnit, the door, Han says from the other side. His voice is followed swiftly by more thumps and thuds. He s kicking the door, she realizes.
I m coming! she yells back. To the droid she says: I ll get it.
But your condition, mum I m not dying, I m pregnant, she snaps back, then opens the door. Han wastes no time in almost falling through it, his arm cradling a lumpy, uneven bag of something.
Took you long enough, he says, smirking as he juggles his footing and skirts past her, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek as he does.
Don t you know, she says, shooting T-2LC a dubious look, I have a condition.
Elsie, I told you, Leia doesn t have a damn condition. But then, more seriously and in a lower register, he says to her: You do need to slow it down a little bit. He gestures toward the star map. For instance.
I am in command of my own body, thank you very much.
Tell that to the little bandit, he says, dropping the sack of whatever down on the counter in the kitchen. The little bandit is what he s taken to calling the

child currently wrestling inside her belly.
You mean the little angel. She follows him into the kitchen, and T-2LC s whining servomotors behind her indicate he s following closely behind because someone (Han) told the droid to keep close to her in case she falls. Never mind the fact the droid stays so close to her, she s nearly tripped on his metal feet half a dozen times already. What did you bring?
Han winks, thrusts his hand down into the bag, and pulls it out gripping a jogan fruit. Look. He gives it a lascivious squeeze.
She sighs, crestfallen. Is that . . . whole bag full of jogan fruit?
Yeah. Why?
I cannot possibly eat that much jogan fruit.
Sure you can.
Let me rephrase: I don t want to eat that much jogan fruit.
It s good for you.
Not that good.
The doctors
Dr. Kalonia said to incorporate jogan into my diet, not to replace everything with jogan fruit.
He sweeps up on her, cradling her face with his rough hand. He strokes her cheek gently. All right, all right. I m just trying to do right by you two.
