Description


Centuries before the Clone Wars or the Empire, in the early days of the High Republic, it was an age of exploration in a galaxy far, far away. . . .

Daring pilots chart new routes through hyperspace, while Pathfinder teams make contact with frontier worlds to invite them to join the Republic. When a Pathfinder team’s communications droid is found drifting in space, damaged and bearing a cryptic message, Jedi Knight Silandra Sho and her Padawan, Rooper Nitani, are sent to find the missing team members. Their investigation leads them to the planet Gloam, a ravaged world said to be haunted by mythical monsters.

Can the Jedi find the missing Pathfinders and unravel the mystery of the monsters? The answers lie in a hidden city beneath the planet’s surface. . . .

Praise For…


PRAISE FOR THE HIGH REPUBLIC

"Star Wars: The High Republic is as refreshing as it is familiar."
Gizmodo

PRAISE FOR THE HIGH REPUBLIC

"Star Wars: The High Republic is your new Star Wars obsession."—Collider

PRAISE FOR THE HIGH REPUBLIC

"The most exciting Star Wars I've read in years."—CNet

Intertwining themes of environmental disaster, the detrimental impacts of capitalism, and what it means to be a monster play a significant role in the conflict. Sweeping action sequences, well-timed shifts among different points of view, and a touch of levity from bantering droids all add to the story’s appeal. A high-stakes, coming-of-age adventure with relevant real-world themes.—Kirkus Reviews
