Rebel Agent is part two of the Dark Forces trilogy of books, following the adventures of Kyle Katarn, the leading character from the Dark Forces and Jedi Knight video games. After he defected to the Rebellion and aided in the capture of the Death Star plans, he sets off to investigate his father’s mysterious death. He travels to the Valley of the Jedi on the planet of Ruusan (of Darth Bane fame) where he finds himself in way over his head and discovers that the Force isn’t just an ancient religion locked in the past but very much apart of his own present and future. It serves as the novelization/companion piece to the video game, Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight.
