Publisher's summary[]
For a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights brought peace and order to the Galactic Republic, aided by their connection to the mystical energy field known as the Force. But they were betrayed—and the entire galaxy has paid the price. It is the Age of the Empire.
Now Emperor Palpatine, once Chancellor of the Republic and secretly a Sith follower of the dark side of the Force, has brought his own peace and order to the galaxy. Peace through brutal repression, and order through increasing control of his subjects' lives.
But even as the Emperor tightens his iron grip, others have begun to question his means and motives. And still others, whose lives were destroyed by Palpatine's machinations, lay scattered about the galaxy like unexploded bombs, waiting to go off. . . .[1]

Development[]
After John Jackson Miller finished his previous novel Kenobi he was approached by project Del Rey to write a tie-in novel for the then-forthcoming Star Wars Rebels television series. Miller was two-thirds of the way through writing the novel when he was informed that it would be the first novel and audio production within the new Star Wars canon.[6] The audiobook was released along side the novel's hardcover on September 2, 2014 by Random House Audio as both a digital audiobook and as an eleven compact disc set.[4] It was directed by Kevin Thomsen and produced by Aaron Blank.[2]

- ↑ Star Wars Rebels: The Visual Guide states that the events of A New Dawn take place six years before the events of Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion. Since Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion to 5 BBY, it can be deduced that the events of A New Dawn take place in 11 BBY.
