Here's the book blurb:
WITNESS THE BIRTH OF THE
RESISTANCE
When the Rebellion defeated the
Empire in the skies above Endor, Leia Organa believed it was the beginning to a
lasting peace. But after decades of vicious infighting and partisan gridlock in
the New Republic Senate, that hope seems like a distant memory.
Now a
respected senator, Leia must grapple with the dangers that threaten to cripple
the fledgling democracy―from both within and without. Underworld kingpins,
treacherous politicians, and Imperial loyalists are sowing chaos in the galaxy.
Desperate to take action, senators are calling for the election of a First
Senator. It is their hope that this influential post will bring strong
leadership to a divided galaxy.
As the daughter of Darth Vader, Leia faces
with distrust the prospect of any one person holding such a powerful
position―even when supporters suggest Leia herself for the job. But a new enemy
may make this path Leia’s only option. For at the edges of the galaxy, a
mysterious threat is growing. . .
