Amazon.com description: Product Description: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . .
Â
A thrilling new adventure set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, andâfor the first time everâwritten entirely from Luke Skywalkerâs first-person point of view.
Luke Skywalkerâs game-changing destruction of the Death Star has made him not only a hero of the Rebel Alliance but a valuable asset in the ongoing battle against the Empire. Though heâs a long way from mastering the power of the Force, thereâs no denying his phenomenal skills as a pilotâand in the eyes of Rebel leaders Princess Leia Organa and Admiral Ackbar, thereâs no one better qualified to carry out a daring rescue mission crucial to the Alliance cause.
Â
A brilliant alien cryptographer renowned for her ability to breach even the most advanced communications systems is being detained by Imperial agents determined to exploit her exceptional talents for the Empireâs purposes. But the prospective spyâs sympathies lie with the Rebels, and sheâs willing to join their effort in exchange for being reunited with her family. Itâs an opportunity to gain a critical edge against the Empire thatâs too precious to pass up. Itâs also a job that demands the element of surprise. So Luke and the ever-resourceful droid R2-D2 swap their trusty X-wing fighter for a sleek space yacht piloted by brash recruit Nakari Kelen, daughter of a biotech mogul, whoâs got a score of her own to settle with the Empire.
Â
Challenged by ruthless Imperial bodyguards, death-dealing enemy battleships, merciless bounty hunters, and monstrous brain-eating parasites, Luke plunges head-on into a high-stakes espionage operation that will push his abilities as a Rebel fighter and would-be Jedi to the limit. If ever he needed the wisdom of Obi-Wan Kenobi to shepherd him through danger, itâs now. But Luke will have to rely on himself, his friends, and his own burgeoning relationship with the Force to survive.
Praise for Heir to the Jedi
Â
âUtterly compelling . . . [The novel] plants readers in Luke Skywalkerâs boots in the early days of his heroism, during the weeks after he blew up the Death Star.ââNew York Daily News
Â
âAn excellent book with rich characters, bubbling humor and poignant emotion.ââRoqoo Depot
Â
âEntertaining . . . action-packed . . . suspenseful.ââNew York Journal of Books
Â
âGreat . . . [an] entertaining introduction into understanding Lukeâs character . . . There are moments in The Empire Strikes Back that I now point to and say, âI understand how he got there,â and itâs because of this novel.ââThe Wookiee Gunner
Â
âPure Star Wars . . . From shoot-outs to narrow escapes, I could practically hear John Williamsâs score playing in my headâa credit to Kevin Hearne, to be sure.ââCoffee with Kenobi
Â
âA must-read for fans . . . I left with a much closer understanding of who Luke Skywalker is, and an even deeper admiration for the character. All things are connected in the Force, and I feel more connected to Luke after reading Heir to the Jedi.ââComicbook.com
