 book cover
Story -- Chewie, Ebrihim and the kids are on Drall, trying to figure out this repulsor thingy. Han is aiming for Selonia, as are Leia and Mara. The Human League continue to threaten to blow up suns. Tendra has gotten to Lando, and he's feeling protective (awww, sweet!). Build-up to the big battle amongst the stars - oooooh, exciting!!

Original characters from the movies -- excellent.

New characters -- ditto. Lots of action stuff for everyone.
 
Cover art -- I know, I know; they haven't aged. It's the bacta, I tell you (they've all been dunked in the stuff often enough!).

Chicks -- as usual in the SW universe, there's none of this 'the girls stay at home while the boys go off to fight'. Oh, no! Our chicks are right there in the thick of things, blasting chunks out of the bad guys. Yeeha!

Any good? -- very!

Read it? -- yup!

Rating -- 8 out of 10
