Product Description

The Battle of Mindor, where the forces of the New Republic, led by Luke Skywalker, take on the Black Stormtroopers, led by Lord Shadowspawn, self-styled new Emperor of the galaxy. What Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han, Solo, Chewbacca, C-3P0, R2-D2, Lando Calrissian, and the pilots of Rogue Squadron don't realize is that the Battle of Mindor is a trap devised just for them -- a diabolical attempt by Lord Shadowspawn to do away with the heroes of the New Republic so that he can crush the upstarts and restore the Empire -- with himself at the helm. But Lord Shadowspawn has underestimated the bravery and resourcefulness of his enemies...

A refreshing taste of the old days
If you have read any of the "Expanded Universe" books lately such as the "New Jedi Order" or the "Legacy of the Force" series you will know how the movie characters of Star Wars have been somewhat sidelined to make way for their offspring. (Even though they normally use their faces to sell the book but devote precious little page time to them in my opinion).
This is a stand alone book set soon after Return of the Jedi and its all about Luke & his comrades being snared in an Imperial trap. Suffice to say - it's an interesting read with plenty of action (space battles and personal hand to hand combat) with dialogue that wouldn't have been out of place in the movie.
After all the dark and drawn out stories of previous recent novels this was like falling in love with the real stars of Starwars all over again. A welcome and refreshing change. More like this please.
