â€œStar Wars: Aftermath [reveals] what happened after the events of 1983â€™s Return of the Jedi. It turns out, thereâ€™s more than just the Empire for the good guys to worry about.â€â€”The Hollywood Reporter
Â
As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Allianceâ€”now a fledgling New Republicâ€”presses its advantage by hunting down the enemyâ€™s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemyâ€™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 heâ€™s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.
Â
Meanwhile, on the planetâ€™s surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native worldâ€”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 Antillesâ€™s urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesnâ€™t know is just how close the enemy isâ€”or how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be.
Â
Determined to preserve the Empireâ€™s power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top-secret emergency summitâ€”to consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they havenâ€™t reckoned on Norra and her newfound alliesâ€”her technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defectorâ€”who are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empireâ€™s oppressive reign once and for all.

Praise for Aftermath
Â
â€œThe Force is strong with Star Wars: Aftermath.â€â€”Alternative Nation
Â
â€œThe Star Wars universe is fresh and new again, and just as rich and mysterious as it always was.â€â€”Den of Geek

â€œ[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.â€â€”Nerdist
Â
â€œIf the opening chapter of the Wendigâ€™s Aftermath trilogy is any indication, the â€˜Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakensâ€™ will be every bit as exciting as the movie.â€â€”New York Daily News
Â
â€œA wonderful Star Wars adventure by a gifted author.â€â€”SF Book Reviews
