Light of the Jedi - Charles Soule

Long before the First Order, before the Empire, before even The Phantom Menace . . . Jedi lit the way for the galaxy in The High Republic.

It
is a golden age for the galaxy.

Intrepid hyperspace scouts expand the reach of the
Republic to the furthest stars, worlds flourish under the benevolent
leadership of the Senate, and peace reigns, enforced by the wisdom and
strength of the renowned order of Force users known as the Jedi. With
the Jedi at the height of their power, the free citizens of the galaxy
are confident in their ability to weather any storm But the even
brightest light can cast a shadow, and some storms defy any preparation.

When
a shocking catastrophe in hyperspace tears a ship to pieces, the flurry
of shrapnel emerging from the disaster threatens an entire system. No
sooner does the call for help go out than the Jedi race to the scene.
The scope of the emergence, however, is enough to push even Jedi to
their limit. As the sky breaks open and destruction rains down upon the
peaceful alliance they helped to build, the Jedi must trust in the Force
to see them through a day in which a single mistake could cost billions
of lives.

Even as the Jedi battle valiantly against calamity,
something truly deadly grows beyond the boundary of the Republic. The
hyperspace disaster is far more sinister than the Jedi could ever
suspect. A threat hides in the darkness, far from the light of the age,
and harbours a secret that could strike fear into even a Jedi's heart.
