Description
Centuries before the Clone Wars or the Empire, in the early days of the High Republic, it was an age of exploration in a galaxy far, far away. . . . Daring pilots chart new routes through hyperspace, while Pathfinder teams make contact with frontier worlds to invite them to join the Republic. When a Pathfinder team's communications droid is found drifting in space, damaged and bearing a cryptic message, Jedi Knight Silandra Sho and her Padawan, Rooper Nitani, are sent to find the missing team members. Their investigation leads them to the planet Gloam, a ravaged world said to be haunted by mythical monsters. Can the Jedi find the missing Pathfinders and unravel the mystery of the monsters? The answers lie in a hidden city beneath the planet's surface. . . .

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
PRAISE FOR THE HIGH REPUBLIC "The most exciting Star Wars I've read in years."--CNet
PRAISE FOR THE HIGH REPUBLIC "Star Wars: The High Republic is your new Star Wars obsession."--Collider
Intertwining themes of environmental disaster, the detrimental impacts of capitalism, and what it means to be a monster play a significant role in the conflict. Sweeping action sequences, well-timed shifts among different points of view, and a touch of levity from bantering droids all add to the story's appeal. A high-stakes, coming-of-age adventure with relevant real-world themes.--Kirkus Reviews
