Aftermath's story is set in the years after the destruction of the second death star. The empire has fallen and the rebels are forming the new republic.

The empire tries to regroup in the outer rim, while a group of accidental by-passers tries to intervene. Of course, this group is an interesting collection of a bounty hunter, a rebel fighter pilot, an ex-imperial loyalty officer and a rebellious son. And it wouldn't be a Star Wars story if there wasn't a funny but deadly droid.

While this might not sound like an interesting premise, I think it fits perfectly in the Star Wars universe. The story itself was engaging and exciting.

I can understand some of the criticism for the book, yet I strongly believe that any Star Wars fan will very much enjoy this book.
