Marshal Avar Kriss, Keeve Trennis, and Keeve's Master Sskeer believe they have captured the Eye of the Nihil, Lourna Dee. However, Lourna is not the Eye, as the Jedi will soon find out. She is merely a Tempest Runner. Marchion Ro is the Eye. He pulls all the strings and commands the Nihil. He has a new weapon to fight the Jedi. It's a "Nameless" beast and it instills fear in the Jedi and all who are force sensitive. Marchion Ro and the Nihil destroy Starlight Beacon and send the Republic in disarray. After this part of the story, the reader learns of Marchion Ro's origins and where his people came from. The reader also learns how Marchion Ro obtained the "Nameless" beasts. Marchion Ro is out for one person: himself. He cares not about the Nihil or anyone else. That is what his people learned over the years. They learned to care only for themselves. I have enjoyed reading this series of comics/graphic novels thus far and I eagerly await more volumes being published.

Star Wars: The High Republic, Vol. 2: The Heart of Drengir by Cavan Scott et al.

 Star Wars: The High Republic, Vol. 2: The Heart of Drengir by Cavan Scott et al.-120 pages

I read the first volume recently and I enjoyed it. I want to continue reading through this series. These comics/graphic novels are supplementary stories to the novels set during the High Republic era of Star Wars. In this one, the Jedi (including Keeve Trennis and her master Sskeer) are allied with the Hutts to rid the galaxy of the Drengir (dark side force sensitive plant-like creatures bent on the destruction of the Jedi). The Jedi, led by Marshal Avar Kriss, are trying to find the "Heart of the Drengir" also known as the "Great Progenitor" because if they destroy it, then they destroy the Drengir. The Jedi also continue to encounter the Nihil, who are a sworn enemy. I continue to enjoy reading through these and look forward to reading the third volume.

The Jedi are concerned about a new "weapon" the Nihil have been using to fight and kill them. A wise Jedi named Emerick and a private investigator team up to find answers about this new "weapon." While on this mission, Starlight Beacon is attacked and destroyed by the Nihil. I enjoyed reading this and I've enjoyed reading everything I've read of "Star Wars: The High Republic" thus far.

Out of the Shadows (Star Wars: The High Republic) by Justina Ireland

 Out of the Shadows (Star Wars: The High Republic) by Justina Ireland-423 pages

I really enjoyed reading this book set during the High Republic. It seems the Nihil are going to be the major threat throughout this time period and these books. Familiar characters appear in this book including Reath Silas and Master Cohmac. The story begins at Starlight Beacon but spans many familiar and new locales. Vernestra (Vern) Wroh and her Padawan Imri are called to Coruscant by her former Master, Stellan Gios. They are given a mission that seems inconsequential at first. However, the mission turns out to be much more than they bargained for. I enjoyed the characters and the story. I liked this book.
