About this ebook

In this pivotal prequel to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the heroes of the Resistance—Poe Dameron, General Leia Organa, Rey, and Finn—must fight back from the edge of oblivion.

The Resistance is in ruins. In the wake of their harrowing escape from Crait, what was once an army has been reduced to a handful of wounded heroes. Finn, Poe, Rey, Rose, Chewbacca, Leia Organa—their names are famous among the oppressed worlds they fight to liberate. But names can only get you so far, and Leia’s last desperate call for aid has gone unanswered. 
 
From the jungles of Ryloth to the shipyards of Corellia, the shadow of the First Order looms large, and those with the bravery to face the darkness are scattered and isolated. If hope is to survive, the Resistance must journey throughout the galaxy, seeking out more leaders—including those who, in days gone by, helped a nascent rebellion topple an empire. Battles will be fought, alliances will be forged, and the Resistance will be reborn.

Ratings and reviews

It was probably a good idea that the Rise of Skywalker began with some how the Resistance was rebuilt because the story of how it reforged itself is so boring. Also, a warning to all future Star Wars writers: writing for Disney is not the career boost you think it will be and if your writing for Star Wars is any indication of what your actual writing is like, then I will never pick up a book you've written.

i have all the Star Wars books & ebooks, yes you can call me a StarWars fan. That said the story is good BUT when an writer give too much of description it's the same as none, when you get caught in describing the degree of collors or every shade of light,or different kind of taste coud be in a plate thats when you know you went too far to give to whom is reading the book. A writer must know when he has not enought content and he/she is filling dead space.

Roanhouse brings our heroes to life in this pre-finale story of the beginning of the re-birth. You just cannot stop turning pages as you read until you've read the last. I could hear the opening score of Episode 9 playing in my mind as I read the final paragraph of this great story. Thank you Ms Roanhouse for your contribution to the Star Wars universe and this new timeline of canon. Keep them coming...
