Book description
As the stand-off between the Galactic Alliance and its rebellious
member states erupts into full-blown battle, the new Corellian
leadership develops a desperate plan to draw the Hapan Consortium into
the war on their side. But the plot poses a moral quandry for Han and
Leia Solo, who cannot abide deliberately spreading the war any more than
they can the murder of the Hapan Queen Mother, ex-Jedi Knight Tenel Ka.
Taking it upon themselves to save her life - and that of her young
daughter, Allana - the Solos set in motion a firestorm of confusion and
mayhem that will pit children against parents, bring Luke Skywalker into
battle with his foremost nemesis, and leave them at the mercy of one of
the Jedi's oldest and most deadly enemies. Troy Denning is the author
of the
