-----------
From the back cover: The Resistance is in ruins. In the wake of their harrowing escape from Crait, what was once an army has been reduced to a handful of wounded heroes. Finn, Poe, Rey, Rose, Chewbacca, Leia Organa - their names are famous among the oppressed worlds they fight to liberate. But names can only get you so far, and Leia's desperate call for aid has gone unanswered.
From the jungles of Ryloth to the shipyards of Corellia, the shadow of the First Order looms large, and those with the bravery to face the darkness are scattered and isolated. If hope is to survive, the Resistance must journey throughout the galaxy, seeking out more leaders - including those who, in days gone by, helped a nascent rebellion topple an empire. Battles will be fought, alliances will be forged, and the Resistance will be reborn.

This book covers the year between The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. It generally focuses on Poe and his quest to recruit more rebels, as well as his guilt for his actions that led to so many deaths in The Last Jedi.
I enjoyed this book, and it was good prep to see the movie, which came out about the time I read this.
A few quotes I liked:
"Hope is good" Leia said, "Hope is important, and sometimes it is all we have. But what does hope have to do with being rational?"
"He hurt, inside and out, but the pain was fading. Betrayal. That's all he could feel now. Not by Monti, or even Yama. It was violence that had lied to him. It had made him promises of power, but in the end, it had not saved him. It had damned him."
