Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Star Wars: Aftermath [reveals] what happened after the events of 1983’s Return of the Jedi. It turns out, there’s more than just the Empire for the good guys to worry about.”—The Hollywood Reporter

As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance—now a fledgling New Republic—presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy’s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy’s strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but he’s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.

Meanwhile, on the planet’s surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native world—war weary, ready to reunite with her estranged son, and eager to build a new life in some distant place. But when Norra intercepts Wedge Antilles’s urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesn’t know is just how close the enemy is—or how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be.

Determined to preserve the Empire’s power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summit—to consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they haven’t reckoned on Norra and her newfound allies—her technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defector—who are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empire’s oppressive reign once and for all.

Critic reviews

“[Chuck] Wendig neatly captures the current states of the Empire and Rebel Alliance and does so through flawed, real, and nuanced characters. His writing gets you up close and personal. . . . Wendig does wonders with dialogue and voice and carving out space for everyone to breathe. Aftermath is a strong foot forward into unexplored territory and puts down just enough foundation that you can start picturing the Resistance and First Order of The Force Awakens taking shape.”Nerdist

“The Force is strong with Star Wars: Aftermath.”—Alternative Nation

“The Star Wars universe is fresh and new again, and just as rich and mysterious as it always was.”Den of Geek

Great book but I have problems

I enjoyed the story. However I want to see I bit more from characters and li felt the story was very slow. However it was a good way to start a new trilogy. However I would have liked to see more from characters like Wedge and Galluis Rax

My first audio book, a positive experience

It's not, like, high class literature - it's Star Wars, it's not going to be challenging but it is accessible to all. I listened while at work, and managed to follow the story fine. I love the VA for this as well, doing all the different voices including Chewbacca must have been a fun time in the studio!

Very patchy

I got through it on Audiobook- I couldn’t with my paperback. The empire sections are interesting and Rae Sloane is a great character. The rebel’s sections with Timmin and Nora are just deadly dull. The prose is a bit off putting at times as it’s all short sentences and present tense but that’s a personal preference.
It’s worth reading for the insight it gives to the empire’s retreat into the unknown regions and the potential makeup of the First Order but it only gives tidbits and nothing actually concrete. I’ve heard the next two books are better so I have downloaded them as well, but this is for hardcore SW fans only I’d say.
