Hope: 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 Empire’s 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 Empire’s military; Chirrut Îmwe, 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 Empire’s 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 Empire’s brutal reign with a
burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star.

was five years old, her mother was murdered and her father
taken from her to serve the Empire. But despite the loss of
her parents she is not completely alone—Saw Gerrera, a man
willing to go to any extremes necessary in order to resist
Imperial tyranny, takes her in as his own, and gives her not
only a home but all the abilities and resources she needs to
become a rebel herself. Jyn dedicates herself to the
cause—and the man. But fighting alongside Saw and his people
brings with it danger and the question of just how far Jyn is
willing to go as one of Saw’s soldiers. When she faces an
unthinkable betrayal that shatters her world, Jyn will have to

she truly believes in…and who she can really trust.
