This is a strong story. It takes the universe of Star Wars, subverts it a bit by making technology useless, and populates it with characters on both sides of the war. It's also (I think) the first Star Wars story in the EU I've read that's written in the first person. I'd rate it higher, but it ends so abruptly that it disappoints. This is a story that begs for a part two.

This was definitely a cool story set during the events of The Battle of Endor. This compliments [b:Life Debt|26895161|Life Debt (Star Wars Aftermath, #2)|Chuck Wendig|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1449268300s/26895161.jpg|47250982] in a way, but doesn't add nor take away from the book. It does a great job of standing on it's own as well as getting you involved in very few words and finally leaving us with a unique perspective on the fall of the Empire.

This was a short story in Star Wars Insider 169.
Imperials need to track down some escaped rebels. They 'recruit' a guide to help them navigate a strange forest were energy attracts lightning from the trees.
Quick, well paced and enjoyable.

Ótimo conto! Apesar de curtinho, como todos os contos da revista Star Wars Insider, estabeleceu muito bem os personagens e nos dá motivos para nos importarmos com eles. Além de muito bem escrito, nos faz indagar o que faríamos se a nossa razão de viver de repente ~acaba~. Quando moldamos nossa vida em torno de um único objetivo, estamos preparados para ~perdê-lo~?
