Pages : 459
Book Description
The Heart of the Jedi Darth Vader and the Emperor are no more. The Alliance has officially become the New Republic. As Han Solo, Princess Leia, and the new Chief-of-State Mon Mothma emerge triumphant against the diminishing Empire, the Imperial Remnant fights on until the long-silent Imperial Senate rises up to call for peace. But not everyone wants peace, and High Admiral Tharkus has made plans to ensure the Empire will reemerge under his rule. At his side stands the mysterious Dioskouroi, beings of rare and deadly powers! For Luke Skywalker, exhausted from years of fighting, the time has come to depart upon a journey of discovery, a journey that will lead him to a secret long ago hidden by Obi-Wan Kenobi. ◆◆◆ The Heart of the Jedi, Kenneth C. Flint''s lost Star Wars novel, commissioned and approved by Lucasfilm, and set to be released in 1993, disappeared without a trace. For many years fans wondered what became of the book and why it was never published, and so it was chalked up to yet another tragic "lostworlds" story that no one would ever get to read or enjoy... or so we thought! Kenneth C. Flint''s complete novel The Heart of the Jedi has at last been unearthed! Published on StarWarsTimeline.net, it has been edited to fit into the existing Expanded Universe, taking place a short time after The Truce at Bakura and the end of issue #107 of the Marvel series, but before the X-Wing comic-book series. Reprinted here in paperback for the first time, this is a non-profit listing for private collectors only. The downloadable PDF is freely available here: http://www.starwarstimeline.net/The%20Heart%20of%20the%20Jedi.htm Find other books by Kenneth Flint at: http://www.amazon.com/Kenneth-C.-Flint/e/B001HPFIWC *** Note: I''d like to clear a few things up. This is an unofficial fan printing of an unofficial fan story. IE: Bootleg Fanfiction. Disney owns Star Wars©, not The Heart of the Jedi. I am not making money off this venture. This is being printed AT COST only. The price paid is merely to Amazon for printing charges. There was a fan printing briefly available in 2015. I, and most others, missed that one. Some time ago, I decided I wanted a copy of "The Heart of the Jedi" for my bookshelf. I downloaded the PDF, formatted it for paperback, sized it so it would fit in with other MMPs, and did some Photoshop work for a Batam-era appropriate cover. I put it on Amazon, ordered my copy, and was done. Then, quite frankly, I forgot about it. The increase in copies sold has lead to a few rumors. I''d like to address some of them: The increase in copies sold has lead to a few rumors. I''d like to address some of them: I am not Ken Flint. I am not Joe Bongiorno. I am not affiliated with Disney. This book is not outselling Disney Star Wars. The way the Amazon Ranking algorithm works is based on sales per hour, not lifetime sales. I am not Timothy Zahn. I know him. He is an amazing mentor and an inspiration to me. I would never try and sabotage his work or steal his thunder. Everyone go buy Thrawn. I want to say everyone go buy MY book! But at this point, I think anonymity is safer than infamy. EU fans, stop trying to stick a thumb in Disney''s eye. We''re not going to change anything. Disney fans, just ignore the EU fans and let them have their silly little book. Stop tattling to Disney. Finally, I would like to publicly apologize to Ken for any appearance that I might be stealing his work. That was not the intent. --A Star Wars Fan

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Go beyond the film that introduced Star Wars fans to Cassian Andor with this novelization featuring new scenes and expanded material. “One of the best movie adaptations yet.”—Cinelinx 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’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’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—if only they can capture the plans to the Empire’s new weapon. But even as they race toward their dangerous goal, the specter of their ultimate enemy—a monstrous world unto itself—darkens the skies, waiting to herald the Empire’s brutal reign with a burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
“THAT’S NO MOON.” –Obi-Wan Kenobi The Death Star’s name says it all, with bone-chilling accuracy. It is a virtual world unto itself–equipped with uncanny power for a singularly brutal purpose: to obliterate entire planets in the blink of an eye. Its annihilation of the planet Alderaan, at the merciless command of Grand Moff Tarkin, lives in infamy. And its own ultimate destruction, at the hands of Luke Skywalker, is the stuff of legend. But what is the whole story, and who are the players, behind the creation of this world-killing satellite of doom? The near extermination of the Jedi order cleared the way for Palpatine–power-hungry Senator and Sith Lord–to seize control of the Republic, declare himself Emperor, and usher in a fearsome, totalitarian regime. But even with the dreaded Darth Vader enforcing Palpatine’s sinister will, the threat of rebellion still looms. And the Emperor knows that only abject fear–and the ability to punish dissent with devastating consequences–can ensure his unchallenged control of the galaxy. Enter ambitious and ruthless government official Wilhuff Tarkin, architect of the Emperor’s terrifying dream come true. From inception to completion, construction of the unprecedented Death Star is awash in the intrigues, hidden agendas, unexpected revelations, and daring gambits of those involved on every level. The brightest minds and boldest egos, the most ambitious and corrupt, the desperate and the devious, all have a stake in the Death Star–and its potential to control the fate of the galaxy. Soldiers and slaves, loyalists and Rebels, spies and avengers, the innocent and the evil–all their paths and fates will cross and intertwine as the Death Star moves from its maiden voyage to its final showdown. And a shadowy chapter of Star Wars history is stunningly illuminated in a thrilling, unforgettable adventure. Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!
