Publisher's summary

THE REBELLION NEEDS YOU! The Empire takes from all of us — our freedom, our dignity, our hopes and for some, even our lives. The Rebel Alliance fights to take back our galaxy from the forces of oppression…but we need your help! Be a part of the solution — JOIN THE REBELLION TODAY!

Plot summary

Part II MUTINY AT MON CALA
It is a period of rebuilding in the galaxy. After victory on Jedha thanks to Queen Trios betraying the Empire, Rebel leaders Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, and Han Solo continue the search for a new base of operation as they fight against the Galactic Empire's reign. Recently that search has led them to the water world of Mon Cala. In a secret meeting with Grand Admiral Urtya, Leia tries to convince the leader of the Imperial-occupied planet to join their cause — to rebel against the tyrannical government that kidnapped their king so many years ago. However, after an attack from an Imperial patrol, the Mon Calamari leader refuses to send his fleet to join the Rebellion for fear of further punishment for his people. It's time for the Rebellion to change his mind....
