Uprising, penned by Alex Wheeler and launched on May 1, 2010, represents the sixth and concluding book in the Star Wars: Rebel Force saga.
The mission to Nyemari's palace was envisioned as straightforward: rapid, clandestine, and uncomplicated.
However, before the Rebels are able to depart the planet, Luke is sent a cryptic – and lethal – communication from Rezi Soresh, a one-time Imperial Commander. Even though Soresh's hired killer, X-7, failed to eliminate Luke, Soresh remains committed to retribution.
Soresh threatens to murder an entire vessel of blameless passengers unless Luke turns himself in. Luke is left with no other option. He has to adhere to Soresh's instructions in order to protect the captives.
Even when those instructions guide him directly into a perilous setup.
