As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance -- now a fledgling New Republic -- presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy's scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy's strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but he's taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders. Meanwhile, on the planet's surface, former rebel fighter Norra Wexley has returned to her native world -- war weary, ready to reunite with her estranged son, and eager to build a new life in some distant place. But when Norra intercepts Wedge Antilles's urgent distress call, she realizes her time as a freedom fighter is not yet over. What she doesn't know is just how close the enemy is -- or how decisive and dangerous her new mission will be. Determined to preserve the Empire's power, the surviving Imperial elite are converging on Akiva for a top secret emergency summit, to consolidate their forces and rally for a counterstrike. But they haven't reckoned on Norra and her newfound allies -- her technical-genius son, a Zabrak bounty hunter, and a reprobate Imperial defector -- who are prepared to do whatever they must to end the Empire's oppressive reign once and for all.… (mais)
O que aconteceu depois da destruição da segunda Estrela da Morte? Qual o destino dos remanescentes do Império Galáctico e dos antigos Rebeldes, agora responsáveis pela fundação da Nova República? Marcas da guerra é o primeiro livro do cânone oficial a mostrar o que acontece depois do clássico Episódio VI: O retorno de Jedi, dando pistas sobre o que podemos esperar da nova trilogia que se inicia com o O despertar da Força, a ser lançado nos cinemas em dezembro. Nesse novo panorama galáctico, vamos descobrir que a guerra ainda não chegou ao fim... e que os traumas deixados por ela ainda serão sentidos por muitos e muitos ciclos. Capitão Wedge Antilles, almirante Ackbar, almirante Sloane, o garoto Temmin e a mãe, Norra Wexley, a caçadora de recompensas Jas Emari, o antigo agente imperial Sinjir: novos personagens e velhos conhecidos dos amantes da saga, que sempre estiveram envolvidos na luta, agora devem escolher o lado a que deverão jurar lealdade. Deverão colocar-se ao lado da Nova República, procurando estabelecer um novo governo democrático na galáxia? Ou juntar-se às fileiras imperiais, na tentativa de voltar ao poder absoluto depois das mortes dos lordes Sith Palpatine e Darth Vader?
