Corellia might be in serious danger in ‘Midnight Horizon’
I have had a blast reading the Star Wars: The High Republic books. They tell of a new era of Jedi where it seems most of the galaxy is at peace. This changes once a new threat called the Nihil show up. In recent books they make moves that showed the galaxy how powerful and dangerous they are. When I heard about Midnight Horizon I couldn’t wait to read it. I was able to get a review copy of this book and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for Midnight Horizon here:
After a series of staggering losses, the Republic seems to finally have the villainous Nihil marauders on the run, and it looks like there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Until word comes of a suspected Nihil attack on the industrial cosmopolitan world of Corellia, right in the Galactic Core.
Sent to investigate are Jedi Masters Cohmac Vitus and Kantam Sy, along with Padawans Reath Silas and Ram Jomaram, all fighting their own private battles after months of unrelenting danger. On Corellia, Reath and Ram encounter a brazen young security specialist named Crash, whose friend was one of the victims of the Nihil attack, and they team up with her to infiltrate Corellia’s elite while the Masters pursue more diplomatic avenues. But going undercover with Crash is more dangerous than anyone expected, even as Ram pulls in his friend Zeen to help with an elaborate ruse involving a galactic pop star.
But what they uncover on Corellia turns out to be just one part of a greater plan, one that could lead the Jedi to their most stunning defeat yet….
I had a tough time putting this book down. We see a small group of Jedi arrive on a galactic core planet to investigate. When they arrive there things at first seem to be going okay. They make a few new friends and try to help find if a rumor they heard could be true. Once the Nihil make their presence known, it looks like another staggering defeat might be heading their way. Yet as this story comes to a close something totally unexpected ends up happening.
Star Wars: The High Republic Midnight Horizon is out now. You can order this book on Amazon, at Barnes and Noble and Indiebound.
