A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . ."
A thrilling new adventure set between "A New Hope" and "The Empire Strikes Back, "and for the first time ever written entirely from Luke Skywalker s first-person point of view.
Luke Skywalker s game-changing destruction of the Death Star has made him not only a hero of the Rebel Alliance but a valuable asset in the ongoing battle against the Empire. Though he s a long way from mastering the power of the Force, there s no denying his phenomenal skills as a pilot and in the eyes of Rebel leaders Princess Leia Organa and Admiral Ackbar, there s no one better qualified to carry out a daring rescue mission crucial to the Alliance cause.
A brilliant alien cryptographer renowned for her ability to breach even the most advanced communications systems is being detained by Imperial agents determined to exploit her exceptional talents for the Empire s purposes. But the prospective spy s sympathies lie with the Rebels, and she s willing to join their effort in exchange for being reunited with her family. It s an opportunity to gain a critical edge against the Empire that s too precious to pass up. It s also a job that demands the element of surprise. So Luke and the ever-resourceful droid R2-D2 swap their trusty X-wing fighter for a sleek space yacht piloted by brash recruit Nakari Kelen, daughter of a biotech mogul, who s got a score of her own to settle with the Empire.
Challenged by ruthless Imperial bodyguards, death-dealing enemy battleships, merciless bounty hunters, and monstrous brain-eating parasites, Luke plunges head-on into a high-stakes espionage operation that will push his abilities as a Rebel fighter and would-be Jedi to the limit. If ever he needed the wisdom of Obi-Wan Kenobi to shepherd him through danger, it s now. But Luke will have to rely on himself, his friends, and his own burgeoning relationship with the Force to survive.

""
Entertaining . . . action-packed . . . suspenseful. " New York Journal of Books"
""
Great . . . an] entertaining introduction into understanding Luke s character . . . There are moments in "The Empire Strikes Back" that I now point to and say, I understand how he got there, and it s because of this novel. The Wookiee Gunner
Pure "Star Wars ." . . From shoot-outs to narrow escapes, I could practically hear John Williams s score playing in my head a credit to Kevin Hearne, to be sure. Coffee with Kenobi
A must-read for fans . . . I left with a much closer understanding of who Luke Skywalker is, and an even deeper admiration for the character. All things are connected in the Force, and I feel more connected to Luke after reading "Heir to the Jedi." "Comicbook.com"
