The High Republic: Path of Vengeance and Quest for Planet X New Synopses Released

A pair of new synopses for the next wave of High Republic novels has dropped. The next adult novel, The High Republic: Cataclysm, received its official description less than a week ago; now we have a couple more for Path of Vengeance and Quest for Planet X.



According to new listings on Edelweiss, the mysterious Planet X will be the central location for the next young adult and middle grade offerings from this phase of the High Republic publishing initiative. That's not a huge surprise for Tessa Gratton's Quest for Planet X, as it obviously includes the location, whose synopsis reads:

Quest for Planet X will release on April 4, the same day as Cataclysm.



Quest for Planet X by Tessa Gratton.



Whatever happens in those April novels will then culminate on May 2 with Cavan Scott's Path of Vengeance. Marda Ro and her cousin Yana are back in the spotlight as they venture to Planet X for very different reasons. The new synopsis on Edelweiss reads:

Path of Vengeance by Cavan Scott.



Interestingly, the listing on Edelweiss excludes the tagline stating that Path of Vengeance is the 'thrilling conclusion' to Phase 2 as seen in other listings at the time of writing. Taking that line literally was never going to pay off, as even if Path of Vengeance concluded the Path of the Open Hand's storyline, there were surely going to be comics released beyond that May 2 date. And sure enough, Marvel's mainline The High Republic series as well as Dark Horse's The High Republic Adventures will run past that date, but are likely to end in May or early June.



In any event, these two novels are likely to tie up the major plot lines associated with the Path of the Open Hand, which has been the main narrative thrust of Phase 2. Quest for Planet X and Path of Vengeance are available for pre-order now.
