Books like Star Wars - A New Dawn by John Jackson Miller
When the Jedi were hunted to the point of extinction, Kanan Jarrus chose survival over service, drifting through the galaxy to avoid the Empire’s reach. A sudden conflict between Imperial forces and desperate revolutionaries forces him to confront his past actions.
Grief over a friend’s death pushes Jarrus to choose between yielding to fear and standing with newfound allies—including a bomb‑throwing rebel, a former Imperial surveillance agent, a vengeful security officer, and the enigmatic Hera Syndulla—to challenge an Imperial enforcer. Together, they face a crisis of apocalyptic magnitude on the planet Gorse, fighting for the survival of a world and its people.
