About this ebook

Suspended helplessly between life and death, Luke Skywalker lies in state at the Jedi academy. But on the spirit plane, Luke fights desperately for survival, reaching out physically to the Jedi twins. At the same time, Leia is on a life-and-death mission of her own, a race against Imperial agents hoping to destroy a third Jedi child -- Leia and Han's baby Anakin -- hidden on the planet Anoth. Meanwhile, Luke's former protÚgÚ Kyp Durron has pirated the deadly Sun Crusher on an apocalyptic mission of mass destruction, convinced he is fighting for a just cause. Hunting down the rogue warrior, Han must persuade Kyp to renounce his dark crusade and regain his lost honor. To do it, Kyp must take the Sun Crusher on a suicide mission against the awesome Death Star prototype -- a battle Han knows they may be unable to win... even with Luke Skywalker at their side!

Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

Ratings and reviews

It kinda fell apart as all the loose ends tried to tie together and the author has a habit of repeating what you'd already know if you read part 1 & 2

Poor author . Constantly repeating background on characters and cheap metaphors. Raw bread dough lol...

Disregard the negative reviews it has no basis in truth although the narration could be a bit better but people buy books to read them not to have other people read them for them in some cases do have exceptions I look forward to getting this book has potential and my cat's going commando I got to go 😼😳
