About this ebook

Walk the ancient streets, meet the colorful characters, and uncover the secret history of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the new expansion to the Disney Parks experience!
 
After devastating losses at the hands of the First Order, General Leia Organa has dispatched her agents across the galaxy in search of allies, sanctuary, and firepower—and her top spy, Vi Moradi, may have just found all three, on a secluded world at the galaxy’s edge.
 
A planet of lush forests, precarious mountains, and towering, petrified trees, Batuu is on the furthest possible frontier of the galactic map, the last settled world before the mysterious expanse of Wild Space. The rogues, smugglers, and adventurers who eke out a living on the largest settlement on the planet, Black Spire Outpost, are here to avoid prying eyes and unnecessary complications. Vi, a Resistance spy on the run from the First Order, is hardly a welcome guest. And when a shuttle full of stormtroopers lands in her wake, determined to root her out, she has no idea where to find help.
 
To survive, Vi will have to seek out the good-hearted heroes hiding in a world that redefines scum and villainy. With the help of a traitorous trooper and her acerbic droid, she begins to gather a colorful band of outcasts and misfits, and embarks on a mission to spark the fire of resistance on Batuu—before the First Order snuffs it out entirely.

Ratings and reviews

While a supposed to be part of the Galaxy's Edge series its actually a sequel to Phasma. Also this comes off way too much like an ad for Galaxy's Edge than A Crash With Fate did. Also what was the point of redeeming a character if you were just going to kill them off pointlessly?

I started this novel before traveling to visit Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland California and very much enjoyed it...When I actually got to the park and saw Vi Moradi herself, I felt I knew this character and even started a conversation with her. Delilah S Dawson does an amazing job of bringing the planet Batuu and the characters residing there to life. A wonderful read and will greatly enrich a visit to Black Spire Outpost!

Lots of fun. Nice to learn about Galaxy's Edge and the people who live in Batuu.
