description: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Go beyond the film with a novelization featuring new scenes and expanded material.As the shadows of the Empire loom ever larger across the galaxy so do deeply troubling rumors. The Rebellion has learned of a sinister Imperial plot to bring entire worlds to their knees. Deep in Empire-dominated space a machine of unimaginable destructive power is nearing completion. A weapon too terrifying to contemplate . . . and a threat that may be too great to overcome.If the worlds at the Empire's mercy 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 Imwe a blind holy man and his crack-shot companion Baze Malbus; and K-2SO a deadly Imperial droid turned against its former masters. In their hands rests the new hope that could turn the tide toward a crucial Rebellion victory--if only they can capture the plans to the Empire's new weapon.But even as they race toward their dangerous goal the specter of their ultimate enemy--a monstrous world unto itself--darkens the skies. Waiting to herald the Empire's brutal reign with a burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star.Praise for Rogue One: A Star Wars StoryOne of the best movie adaptations yet.--CinelinxRogue One bridged characters and elements of the prequels and original Star Wars trilogy in a visually stunning ride but there are even more rich details hiding in the film's novelization [which] reveals and expands with inner monologues and character insights political knots and nuance. --The Daily DotRogue One: A Star Wars Story novelization deepens a tale of hope. . . . [Jyn Erso] proves to be even more fascinating here than she was in the movie.--New York Daily News
