What they’re saying:
- StarWars.com: “In Star Wars: The High Republic: Tempest Runner, Lourna Dee of the Nihil will seek revenge against the Jedi. While Tempest Runner builds on the groundwork laid thus far across The High Republic saga, it’s not a book or comic. The story has instead been written by Cavan Scott as an audio original, and will feature a full cast to bring the story to life, including many fan-favorite characters. In addition, Tempest Runner features a full score and sound effects, taking complete advantage of the audio original form. For fans of the Nihil, it’s not to be missed.”
Star Wars: The High Republic – Tempest Runner will be released on Tuesday, August 31 but is available for pre-order right now.
