An official novelization of "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" follows a band of rebels on a daring mission to steal the Death Star plans. As the shadows of the Empire loom across the galaxy, the Rebellion learns that an Imperial machine of unimaginable destructive power is nearing completion. If the worlds 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 ÒImwe, a blind holy man and his crack-shot companion, Baze Malbus; and K-2SO, a deadly Imperial droid turned against its former masters. But even as they race toward their dangerous goal, the specter of a monstrous world unto itself darkens the skies: the Death Star.
