STAR WARS THE FORCE AND THE FURY FREE

There was an affirmative growl across the intercom. Han checked the comm board, looking for the signal being transmitted by LeiaвЂ™s last beacon, and homed in on it. Geological surveys showed that the soil here was too shallow to support full-grown wroshyrs-a subterranean ridge of stone, stunting the trees, would mark the fireвЂ™s stopping point, in this area at least. The ground was higher here, the trees far shorter-not one of them was over half a kilometer in height. The Falcon bucked harder as a particularly ferocious thermal caught her, and then she was out over unburned forest. And I keep having to dodge streams of fleeing animals.вЂќ Had to make some quick repairs on one of the beacons. Han sent the disk-shaped freighter into a bank and descent toward their rendezvous point, about two kilometers outside the fire zone. The communications board crackled with LeiaвЂ™s voice.

Han brought her back to smooth, level flight, cocking his head to hear any sound of a panel dislodge, a bolt kicked free by the unexpected motion, but no new noise was added to the catalog of thousands he knew by heart. The Falcon kicked as she glided over a thermal updraft.

The fires had grown into firestorms raging out of control ever since. These strikes were intended to punish the Wookiees for harboring Jedi and for dragging their feet before committing their forces to JacenвЂ™s Galactic Alliance. But a few days earlier, the Star Destroyer Anakin Solo, at the order of Jacen Solo, had directed its long-range turbolasers at the surface of Kashyyyk, concentrating fire to cause square-kilometer patches of forest to explode in flames. It had once been an unbroken vista of soaring wroshyr trees and other foliage. As that column rose, it drew in air from all directions, constantly fanning the fire around it, feeding the voracious beast that burned out of control.

And it was the smoke column that showed the real danger of the maelstrom. Westward, superheated air rose in a column kilometers in diameter, hauling smoke high into the atmosphere, obscuring the afternoon sun. The line between the two zones was an irregular and uncertain one, and even at the distance of a couple of kilometers Han Solo could see individual trees at the border burst into fire, some of them exploding from the heat. Eastward, the carpet of fire gave way to doomed forest.
