As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance—now a fledgling New Republic—presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy’s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy’s strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but he’s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.

Maybe the worst one yet
Revisado: 10-28-15
To start with...I am the demographic for this book. I grew up on the original trilogy and I read most the EU novels back in the day. From Thrawn to the Fate of the Jedi I was there. I've seen the good, the great, and the awful. This one is awful! I only finished it so I could write the review. Only Marc Thompson shined (as usual) and he at least got me to the end.
I have been through all of the new cannon books and really only one was good (Lords of the Sith), a few were average, and this one is plain bad. I wasn't expecting a story about the original leads since that would tip too much from the movie, but Wendig just doesn't get how to write for Star Wars. The language felt too much like a galaxy right hear instead of far far away. The "shocking" things he threw in were not all that shocking. The interludes were just strange and it felt like he was trying to do too many things. I didn't really get invested in any of the new cast and the teases about the regular crew felt unnatural.
For die hard fans like me of course we will buy and read everything that comes out. There was some crazy stuff in the NJO but at least it felt like the Star Wars Universe. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come!

The Sith Empire is in flux. The Emperor is missing, presumed dead, and an ambitious Sith lord’s attempt to seize the throne has ended fatally. Still, Darth Karrid, commander of the fearsome Imperial battle cruiser Ascendant Spear, continues her relentless efforts to achieve total Sith domination of the galaxy. But Karrid’s ruthless determination is more than matched in the steely resolve of Theron Shan, whose unfinished business with the Empire could change the course of the war for good. Though the son of a Jedi master, Theron does not wield the Force - but like his renowned mother, the spirit of rebellion is in his blood.

You don't need to have played the game to enjoy the story but you might want to look up some of the characters on the star wars wiki for context.

The embattled Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has marshaled the remnants of the Imperial forces and driven the Rebels back with an abominable technology recovered from the Emperor's secret fortress: clone soldiers. As Thrawn mounts his final siege, Han Solo and Chewbacca struggle to form a coalition of smugglers for a last-ditch attack, while Princess Leia holds the Alliance together and prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins.

I can't stop listening to this series

I know Zahn isn't "canon" anymore but he still writes the best star wars stories of anyone (Lucas included) . I read the books years ago but the narration on this audio book is like being in a movie. JJ doesn't just have to live up to the movie but he has to live up to the test of the best of the EU stories and the Thrawn trilogy stands out among the pack.
