The High Republic: Midnight Horizon is the complete, spoken-word version of the canon young adult novel bearing the same title, penned by Daniel José Older. Todd Haberkorn lends his voice as the narrator, and it was launched by Disney–Lucasfilm Press on February 1, 2022.
Set two centuries prior to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, within the era known as the glorious High Republic, the Jedi serve as the guardians, ensuring peace and justice throughout the galaxy!
Following a string of significant setbacks, it seems the Republic is finally pushing back the malicious Nihil marauders, suggesting a positive turn of events. However, this hope is challenged by reports of a suspected Nihil assault on the industrialized, cosmopolitan world of Corellia, situated at the heart of the Galactic Core.
Jedi Masters Cohmac Vitus and Kantam Sy are dispatched to investigate, accompanied by their Padawans, Reath Silas and Ram Jomaram, each grappling with personal struggles after enduring months of relentless peril. Upon arriving on Corellia, Reath and Ram encounter a spirited young security expert named Crash, whose friend fell victim to the Nihil attack. They join forces with her to infiltrate Corellia's elite circles, while the Masters explore more conventional diplomatic avenues. However, going undercover with Crash proves to be far more treacherous than anticipated, especially as Ram enlists his friend Zeen to aid in an intricate scheme involving a galactic pop star.
The discoveries they make on Corellia ultimately reveal themselves to be merely a component of a larger, more sinister design, one that could potentially lead the Jedi to their most devastating defeat yet....
This installment continues the New York Times best-selling series.... For light and life!
