Publisher's Summary

New York Times Best Seller • The heroes of the High Republic era return to face a shattered peace and a fearsome foe, following the dramatic events of Light of the Jedi.

In the wake of the hyperspace disaster and the heroism of the Jedi, the Republic continues to grow, bringing more worlds together under a single unified banner. Under the leadership of Chancellor Lina Soh, the spirit of unity extends throughout the galaxy, with the Jedi and the newly established Starlight Beacon station at the vanguard.

In celebration, the chancellor plans the Republic Fair, a showcase of the possibilities and the peace of the expanding Republic - a peace the Jedi hope to foster. Stellan Gios, Bell Zettifar, Elzar Mann, and others join the event as ambassadors of harmony. But as the eyes of the galaxy turn toward the fair, so too does the fury of the Nihil. Their leader, Marchion Ro, is intent on destroying this unity. His storm descends on the pageantry and celebration, sowing chaos and exacting revenge.

As the Jedi struggle to curb the carnage of the rampaging Nihil, they come face-to-face with the true fear their enemy plans to unleash across the galaxy - the kind of fear from which even the Force cannot shield them.

Wonderful Additon to the High Republic Era

A gripping story expanding the high republic mythos and providing plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing.

Simply fantastic

The storytelling, the narration, the music, the mood (the sense of joy and dread), and voice acting in this are simply fantastic. Loving this era.

Good, if it doesnt shoot itself in the foot.

A reliance on tropes common to sci-fi drag down the story of this book. If the Nihil and Drengir are destroyed over the course of this series it'll lack the kind of enduring struggle that makes a star wars era an era rather than just a story, and it unfortunately appears to be doing just that.

The best of the high republic so far!

Story and performance were both top tier! Very engaging and definitely feels as though the nihil are a big bad threat to the whole universe, sets up the next book perfectly.

Great story… narration solid as well with some exceptions

Love the new direction that THR is going. Mr. Thompson’s narration is consistent throughout all of the stories I’ve heard him for and I enjoy his work. My only note for this book would be that, to my ear at least, he can over act/dramatize (word?) characters (particularly young and female voices); was not a fan of how he portrayed Pan in this story either. Nothing critical to my enjoyment to the story but just my 2cents.
