English Summary/英文概要： Never before has the incendiary mix of action, politics, and intrigue that has become Timothy Zahn’s trademark, been more evident that in this new Star Wars epic.A New Hope, the newly minted heroes of the Rebellion–fledgling Jedi Luke Skywalker, smuggler turned reluctant freedom-fighter Han Solo, and Princess Leia Organa, a bold leader with a world to avenge–must face the harsh realities of the cataclysmic conflict into which they have so bravely plunged. From this point forward, legends will grow, treachery will abound, and lives will be irrevocably altered, in the long, hard fight to counter the fist of tyranny and restore hope to a galaxy too long in darkness. The destruction of the Death Star by the Rebel Alliance was a decisive blow against the Empire, but Palpatine and his monstrous enforcer, Darth Vader, are no less of a threat. The brutal extermination of Alderaan not only demonstrated the magnitude of their murderous power, but served as a chilling testament to their resolve to crush the Rebel uprising. Standing against them, Skywalker, Solo, and the Princess remain uncertain opponents. Han has doubts about waging someone else’s war–and his contentiousness is one more burden for Leia to bear as she struggles to help keep the Rebellion alive. The three have been sent to mediate a dispute between Rebel Alliance factions in Shelsha Sector–agitating matters by forcing Han to deal not only with pirates, but with his more dreaded enemy, politics. At the same time,Mara Jade–all of eighteen and years away from her fateful meeting with Luke–is serving her evil master, Palpatine, well in her role as the Emperor’s Hand: tracking suspected treachery in the Empire to what may be high places–while trying to stay out of Darth Vader’s way.
But the Rebels will prove to be only one of the Empire’s concerns. For Imperial Stormtrooper Daric LaRone, his faith in the Empire shaken by the wanton destruction of Alderaan, will commit a sudden and violent act of defiance, and take four other enforcers with him, in a desperate bid to elude their masters’ wrath.
Each of these fateful actions, whether sanctioned, secret, or scandalous, will expose brutality and corruption, spur upheavals destined to shake the Empire to its core, and shape momentous events yet to come.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 具有煽动性的行动、政治阴谋描写一直都是作者Timothy Zahn的写作风格，在这本全新的小说中更是淋漓尽致的表现了出来。一个新希望，敢于反抗的新时代英雄——年轻的Jedi Luke Skywalker，和为自由而反抗的走私犯Han Solo，以及公主Leia Organa——一个怀揣复仇之心，敢于冒险、自由奔放的领导者——必须面对暴乱斗争这个残酷的现实，而他们已准备好为此奋勇向前。从现在开始，传奇将延续下去，到处将充满了欺诈行为，生活将无从选择，不久的将来，抗击暴政的恶战即将上演，在被黑暗笼罩如此之久的星球上将重新燃烧起希望的火光。
死亡星球被反抗联盟打垮后，对于帝国的统制者Darth Vader来说是一个巨大的重击，但Palpatine和他那惨无人道的独裁者Darth Vader也不是轻易就可打败的。他们在不久前消灭Alderaan族的粗暴行为，不仅证明了他们强大可怕的势力范围，而且他们也用让人畏惧的实际行动，证明了粉碎反抗暴乱活动的决心。Skywalker, Solo,和公主仍旧不能对敌人的情况做出正确的判断。Han对发起战争仍旧持有怀疑之处——他那爱争论的个性更是Leia难以冲破、不小的负担，她努力的想要打赢这场仗。这三人前往Shelsha分野调解反抗联盟在分野的内讧状况——骚动事件不仅使Han要去想法对付掠夺者，而且还要顾及其它可怕的敌人。同时，Mara Jade是国王身旁得力的左右手——所有十八岁的女孩都必须服侍她邪恶的主人Palpatine，以及调查所有皇室中令人可疑的阴谋，企图背叛统治的人。
但不久后的另一起动乱将证明帝国的最高领导者所要担心的不仅仅只是这些。皇室的突击队员Daric LaRone，在发生了消灭 Alderaan族行动后，对帝国忠诚的信念有所动摇，他将同其他四位受压迫者，发起激烈的突袭反抗行动，打算孤注一掷，逃出帝王的魔爪。
每个重大的行动，不管是公开进行计划的，还是秘密组织的，又或者是耍卑鄙手段的，都会将帝国残酷、腐败的一面暴露出来，激励发起动乱的组织前往彻底摧毁帝国势力之路，一场大战正在慢慢成形。
