Star Wars Jedi; Battle Scars

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Join Cal Kestis and the Stinger Mantis crew on an adventure set between Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

After the fall of the Jedi Order, Cal Kestis has forged a new life with the crew of the Stinger Mantis. Together, they've taken down bounty hunters, defeated Inquisitors, and even escaped the grasp of Darth Vader himself. But more than anything, Merrin, Cere, Greez, and his trusty droid BD-1 have become the closest thing to family that Cal has. As the galaxy's future becomes more uncertain, the Mantis crew continues to grow bolder with every strike against the Empire.

What begins as a routine mission soon turns into something much more dangerous when they encounter a stormtrooper who wants to forge her own path. In exchange for their help in starting a new life, the Imperial deserter reveals the existence of a powerful, potentially crucial tool for their battle against the Empire—and she knows how to lead them to it. The only problem? Pursuing it will put them directly in the path of one of the Empire’s deadliest agents: the Inquisitor known as the Fifth Brother.

Can the Imperial deserter be trusted? And after surviving countless encounters with the Inquisitors, how long can Cal and his crew keep outrunning the Empire before their luck finally runs out?
