Witness the rise of the Empire with these two thrilling Star Wars novels - plus exclusive short stories by Melissa Scott, John Jackson Miller, and Jason Fry! TARKIN "Compelling . . . The villains of Star Wars are as much fun as the good guys." - New York Daily News Under Governor Wilhuff Tarkins guidance, an ultimate weapon of unparalleled destruction - the so-called Death Star - moves ever closer to becoming a terrifying reality. Until then, insurgency remains a genuine threat. Guerrilla attacks by an elusive band of freedom fighters must be countered with swift and brutal action - a mission the Emperor entrusts to his most formidable agents: Darth Vader, the fearsome new Sith enforcer, and Tarkin, whose tactical cunning and cold-blooded efficiency will pave the way for the Empires supremacy - and its enemies extinction. A NEW DAWN Foreword by Dave Filoni "A story with pacing and dialogue that feels like classic Star Wars." - Nerdist Ever since the Jedi were marked for death, Kanan Jarrus has devoted himself to staying alive rather than serving the Force. So when he discovers a conflict brewing between Imperial forces and desperate revolutionaries, hes not about to get caught in the crossfire. Then the brutal death of a friend forces him to choose between bowing down to fear or standing up to fight. But Jarrus wont be fighting alone. Soon he is joined by Hera Syndulla - a mysterious agent provocateur with motives of her own - in challenging the Empire for the sake of a world and its people.
