Plot summary

Vi Moradi, the main protagonist, is tasked with setting up a base for the Resistance by General Leia Organa. She travels to the fictional planet Batuu, which is also the site of Disney's Star Wars theme park attraction. She is aided by Archex, a former First Order stormtrooper. Together, they recruit locals and build a small resistance camp to fight the nearby First Order presence that has been alerted to Vi and Archex's presence.[5]

  • Meg Dowell from the website DorkSideoftheForce.com wrote "...Delilah S. Dawson has told an unforgettable story that has a major impact on the future of the Skywalker saga ... definitely add this book to your list. "[7]
