Rogue One : a Star Wars story
(Book)

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{u2019}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{u2019}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{u2014}if only they can capture the plans to the Empire{u2019}s new weapon. But even as they race toward their dangerous goal, the specter of their ultimate enemy{u2014}a monstrous world unto itself{u2014}darkens the skies. Waiting to herald the Empire{u2019}s brutal reign with a burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star.
