Plot summary[edit | edit source]

Book V, Part II

THE LAST FLIGHT OF THE HARBINGER

It is a time of renewed hope for the
Rebel Alliance as heroic Rebel soldiers
strive to undermine Imperial forces throughout
the galaxy. The Galactic Empire continues to
hold their domination and has doubled its
efforts to eliminate and crush any who would
stand against its rule.

The fighting is as fierce as ever, as the
Rebellion is forced to contend with the
ruthless might of the Empire and its elite
stormtrooper squad led by the unrelenting
Sargent Kreel.

Even in face of such overwhelming power, the
rebel spirit refuses to be broken. The Alliance
puts its trust in its own heroes, pilot Luke
Skywalker, Princess Leia, and the smuggler-
turned-soldier Han Solo, believing that they
can lead the way to victory....
