Princess Leia's children have been kidnapped. Along with Chewbacca and Artoo-Detoo, she follows the kidnappers' trail to a disabled refugee ship, from which children are also missing. Here she learns of a powerful Imperial officer with a twisted plan to restore the Empire. Meanwhile, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker are cut off from Leia by the death of a nearby star, which has caused a disruption in the Force. They have gone to the planet Crseih to investigate a report of a lost group of Jedi. Instead they find a charismatic alien named Waru whose miraculous healing powers have attracted a fanatic following. As Leia follows the path of her children across space, Luke and Han draw closer to the truth behind Waru's sinister cult. Together they will face an explosive showdown that will decide the survival of the New Republic . . . and the universe itself!© and (P)1994 Lucasfilm Ltd. and TM.

a little darker then most star wars stories

not as amazing as some of Luke's adventures and definitely dark as it delves in child slavery and the bad guy trys to feed Anakin Solo to a demon near the end.

so yeah its not for younger readers at all.

but for the more mature and hardcore star wars fans this is a fun and frightening adventure with Luke, Han and Leia.

4 out of 5 stars good story decent voice work and great sound affects as usual.

Pleasantly surprised!

This novel gets a bad rap as far as EU novels go. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It reminds me of when Star Wars wasn't as clearly defined as it is now. Now many of those magical and fantasy elements have been replaced with more hardcore sci fi. Anyway, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Great Production, weird waru

suffice to say, it's mostly good. waru is very strange almost non-star wars creature but nonetheless I liked it.

A Well written story despite some flaws

it had excellent Writing but the story was much harder to follow than most other starwars novels the varied personal perspective was really helpful in understanding what's happening every moment

Story bleh, presentation good

Story not great. Presentation superb. Great use of Star Wars soundtrack & SoundFX.
That is all.
