Last year, Chuck Wendig’s Star Wars: Aftermath novel used a new group of Rebel fighters to explore the upheaval in the galaxy after the events of Return of the Jedi.

In an exclusive excerpt from Wendig’s sequel, Aftermath: Life Debt, we get to see them cross paths with a familiar Wookiee and his Corellian smuggler sidekick.

The central narrative of Aftermath took place on the planet Akiva, with Rebel pilot Norra Wexley reuniting with her son, Temmin (a.k.a. “Snap” Wexley, who was played as an adult in The Force Awakens by Greg Grunberg). They join forces with some other anti-Empire sympathizers to save X-Wing pilot and Rebel scout Wedge Antilles from a remnant of the Imperial navy that’s regrouping after the fall of the second Death Star.

Interspersed throughout this narrative, like stand-alone short stories, were chapters focusing on well-known figures in other parts of the galaxy — including a bearded Han Solo veering off for a rogue mission with Chewbacca to liberate the Wookiee world of Kashyyyk.

In Wendig’s Life Debt, Princess Leia sends Norra and her son on a mission with Jas Amari, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and Sinjir Rath Velus, a former Imperial loyalty officer who now pledges his loyalty to the Rebellion. That sets them on a collision course with Han Solo and Chewbacca as they fight for Chewie’s homeland.

The book goes on sale July 19, 2016.
