OUT THIS MONTH: 'THE HIGH REPUBLIC - THE RISING STORM'


The current Star Wars Story Group at Lucasfilm/ Disney have clearly been having lots of fun coming up with all-new drama, action and excitement for its new band of diverse Jedi heroes within a time frame long, long before the events of the Prequels, of which critical plaudits and strong book/multi-media tie-in sales have been swiftly resultant.

Book Two of The High Republic saga, The Rising Storm, by bestselling British talent Cavan Scott, debuts on UK Century hardback later this month (29th June, 2021).

Here's the official release details:

The heroes of the High Republic era return to face a shattered peace and a fearsome foe, following the dramatic events of Light of the Jedi.

In the wake of the Great Hyperspace Disaster and the heroism of the Jedi, the Republic continues to grow, bringing more worlds together under a single unified banner. Under the leadership of Chancellor Lina Soh, the spirit of unity extends throughout the galaxy, with the Jedi and the newly established Starlight Beacon station at the vanguard.

In celebration, the chancellor plans The Republic Fair, a showcase of the possibilities and the peace of the expanding Republic-a peace the Jedi hope to foster. Stellan Gios, Bell Zettifar, Elzar Mann, and others join the event as ambassadors of harmony. But as the eyes of the galaxy turn toward the Fair, so too does the fury of the Nihil. Their leader, Marchion Ro, is intent on destroying this unity. His storm descends on the pageantry and celebration, sowing chaos and exacting revenge.

As the Jedi struggle to curb the carnage of the rampaging Nihil, they come face-to-face with the true fear their enemy plans to unleash across the galaxy-the kind of fear from which even the Force cannot shield them.
