This comic mini-series is a perfect add-on to the pantheon of The High Republic books. It tells the story of an cross-divisional investigation into a potential Jedi-killing weapon and introduces fascinating new characters Emerick and Sian and provides a surprising turn for one of the Nihil. This is definitely a “required” reading for anyone interested in The High Republic.
