About the Book
In the blockbuster bestselling 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 tranquillity 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.
