Plot summary

Book V, Part III
THE LAST FLIGHT OF THE HARBINGER

It's a time of renewed hope for the Rebel Alliance
as heroic rebel soldiers strive to undermine Imperial
forces throughout the galaxy.

The Alliance puts its heroes, pilot Luke Skywalker,
Princess Leia and smuggler turned soldier Han Solo,
at the helm of a major mission to rescue an ally
planet. The first step: capture a massive Star
Destroyer—a ship with a crew of a thousand and the
might of the Empire behind it.

Through a series of strategic bombings and a
miraculous flight from Skywalker, the trio
forces the evacuation of the Destroyer. Ensconced in
enemy disguise, the skeleton crew of rebels plan
their next steps....
