“The Rising Storm” Book Discussion | The High Republic

For Light and Life, listeners! Star Wars: The High Republic is back with the launch of wave two, and Brad and Sarah are kicking things off with a discussion on "The Rising Storm" by Cavan Scott. Del Rey's newest installment ends up being a top-tier novel that features intimate character growth, heart-wrenching tragedy, and jaw-dropping moments. How will our heroes handle yet another destructive attack by the Nihil? Who will rise and who will fall? We dive into all of this and much more, including romance, heroism, the dark side, and the political stage within a galaxy far, far away.
