The Resistance has been revitalized. However, despite Rey and her heroic comrades rejoining the battle, the conflict against the First Order, now under the command of Supreme Leader Kylo Ren, is far from resolved. Just as hope is being rekindled, a cryptic transmission echoes across the galaxy, delivering a terrifying revelation: Emperor Palpatine, presumed vanquished and gone, has returned from beyond the grave.
Has the ancient Sith Lord truly resurrected? Kylo Ren carves a path of devastation through the cosmos, determined to eliminate any threat to his dominion over the First Order and his ambition to reign supreme over the galaxy—and utterly destroy it. In the meantime, to unearth the truth, Rey, Finn, Poe, and the Resistance must embark on the most treacherous quest they have ever undertaken.
The audiobook was voiced by veteran Star Wars audiobook narrator Marc Thompson and distributed by Random House Audio on March 17, 2020. Kevin Thomsen oversaw the production and direction, while Nick Martorelli served as the executive producer.
On August 13, 2024, Lizzie Audio released a French language version of the audiobook, with narration by Emmanuel Dekoninck.
