Star Wars – Catalyst

Prepare yourself for an epic journey through the stars with the return of the legendary Star Wars author, James Luceno. He brings forth an intense tale of ambition and betrayal that sets the stage for one of the most iconic films of all time – Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

The galaxy is in turmoil as war rages on between the Republic and the Separatists. With each side constantly building deadlier technology to emerge victorious, the stakes are higher than ever. Orson Krennic, a member of Chancellor Palpatine’s top-secret Death Star project, is determined to develop a superweapon before the Republic’s enemies can.

As fate would have it, Krennic discovers that his old friend, brilliant scientist Galen Erso, could be the key to achieving his goal. Galen’s groundbreaking energy research has captured the attention of both Krennic and his foes, making him a crucial pawn in the galactic conflict.

After rescuing Galen, his wife Lyra, and their daughter Jyn from Separatist kidnappers, Krennic has them deeply in his debt. He offers Galen an extraordinary opportunity to continue his scientific studies with every resource at his disposal. However, while Galen and Lyra believe that his energy research will be used purely for altruistic purposes, Krennic has other plans that will finally make the Death Star a reality.

The Ersos soon find themselves trapped in Krennic’s tightening grasp, with their benefactor’s true intentions slowly becoming clear. They must untangle Krennic’s web of deception to save themselves and the galaxy from his ruthless ambition. Get ready to embark on an adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
