About this audiobook
In this pivotal prequel to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the heroes of the Resistance—Poe Dameron, General Leia Organa, Rey, and Finn—must fight back from the edge of oblivion.
The Resistance is in ruins. In the wake of their harrowing escape from Crait, what was once an army has been reduced to a handful of wounded heroes. Finn, Poe, Rey, Rose, Chewbacca, Leia Organa—their names are famous among the oppressed worlds they fight to liberate. But names can only get you so far, and Leia’s last desperate call for aid has gone unanswered.
From the jungles of Ryloth to the shipyards of Corellia, the shadow of the First Order looms large, and those with the bravery to face the darkness are scattered and isolated. If hope is to survive, the Resistance must journey throughout the galaxy, seeking out more leaders—including those who, in days gone by, helped a nascent rebellion topple an empire. Battles will be fought, alliances will be forged, and the Resistance will be reborn.

Reads like fanfiction. Basically the opening crawl of The Rise of Skywalker stretched dully out over a book. Incredibly boring characters (even made Poe boring!), and if you wanted to know more about what happens surrounding Luke or what Rey will do, then look elsewhere. Just a filler book to capitalize on the hype to the final installment. It's not even a teaser... Still, it's the first book with the Star Wars score and a very enthusiastic reading by Marc Thompson. Production value aside, skip this.

By far the most boring Star Wars book ever. Never grabbed my interest once. This is coming from someone who has consumed every Canon novel and a vast majority of legends. A snoozefest from beginning to end.

My favorite Star Wars book of all time! With an all star cast from Aftermath, Bloodline, Poe Dameron comics, Battlefront 2, and location from Jedi Fallen Order, this book ties closer to the SW universe than any other material including the movies. If you like the Last Jedi but feel it doesn't go well with the larger story of the saga, then this book does the perfect job as the closing act of Episode 8
