Publisher's Summary

In the blockbuster best-selling tradition of Heir to the Empire comes this thrilling addition to the Star Wars saga, as peace gives way to a new threat.

It is a time of tranquility for the New Republic. The remnants of the Empire now lie in complete disarray, and the reemergence of the Jedi Knights has brought power and prestige to the fledgling government on Coruscant. Yesterday's Rebels have become today's administrators and diplomats, and the factions that fought against imperial tyranny seem united in savoring the fruits of peace.

But the peace is short-lived. A restless Luke must journey to his mother's homeworld in a desperate and dangerous quest to find her people. An adventurous Lando must seize a mysterious spacecraft that has weapons of enormous destructive power and an unknown mission. And Leia, a living symbol of the New Republic's triumph, must face down a ruthless leader of the Duskhan League, an arrogant Yevetha who seems bent on a genocidal war that could shatter the fragile unity of the New Republic - and threaten its very survival.

Like the original films.

Best Star Wars continuation I have heard since the Thrawn Trilogy.
Character expression and personalities were more alike to the films than anything else in between. The plot and pace were exciting and there was enough solid dialogue to be getting on with. My only problem was dealing with character names- either new or old secondary characters (which would have been easily recognised if I had a better idea about their description), but ultimately the tone and swing of things carried me along well enough.
I would certainly recommend this novel to those interested in the "Legends" Chronology, and will be listening to the next instalment with great interest.
