As the shadows of the Empire loom ever larger across the galaxy so do deeply troubling rumors. The Rebellion has learned of a sinister Imperial plot to bring entire worlds to their knees. Deep in Empire-dominated space a machine of unimaginable destructive power is nearing completion. A weapon too terrifying to contemplate . . . and a threat that may be too great to overcome. If the worlds at the Empires mercy stand any chance it lies with an unlikely band of allies: Jyn Erso a resourceful young woman seeking vengeance; Cassian Andor a war-weary rebel commander; Bodhi Rook a defector from the Empires military; Chirrut �mwe a blind holy man and his crack-shot companion Baze Malbus; and K-2SO a deadly Imperial droid turned against its former masters. In their hands rests the new hope that could turn the tide toward a crucial Rebellion victory-if only they can capture the plans to the Empires new weapon. But even as they race toward their dangerous goal the specter of their ultimate enemy-a monstrous world unto itself-darkens the skies. Waiting to herald the Empires brutal reign with a burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star.
