  <default-description>No sooner has Darth Vader's funeral pyre burned&#160;&#160;to ashes on Endor than the Alliance intercepts a&#160;&#160;call for help from a far-flung Imperial outpost.&#160;&#160;Bakura is on the edge of known space and the first to&#160;&#160;meet the Ssi-ruuk, cold-blooded reptilian invaders&#160;&#160;who, once allied with the now dead Emperor, are&#160;&#160;approaching Imperial space with only one goal; total&#160;&#160;domination. Princess Leia sees the mission as an&#160;&#160;opportunity to achieve a diplomatic victory for the&#160;&#160;Alliance. But it assumes even greater importance&#160;&#160;when a vision of Obi-Wan Kenobi appears to Luke&#160;&#160;Skywalker with the message that he must go to&#160;&#160;Bakura-or risk losing everything the Rebels have fought&#160;&#160;so desperately to achieve.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Yes, I know, another SW:EU novel. But they're a special brand of crack, and it's fun revisiting the things I was so thoroughly addicted to in 1996/97. This is probably one of, if not the best, novel which has been written in the Star Wars extended universe. Like all the rest of the EU novels, this i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1673938">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a fun read.  I am a huge Star Wars fan, but have never really liked the books.  I wouldn't say great writing.  The author pulled characteristics from the movie and a few one liners.  But all in all, it was enjoyable to read once.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Yet another 'We run off, have a grand adventure and Luke falls in love' book. I HATE that sooo much. Luke's not supposed to fall in love, he's a Jedi. So what's the dealio with all the falling in love? I think it's like the second or third time I've read a book like this. I must admit, the book did ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49061679">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not much of a star wars fan, but I've seen all the movies. Great book if you're a person who thought that the movies should not end yet. Stories are better described and tells more of the story after 'Return of the Jedi'.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is probably my favorite Star Wars book, though it's neck and neck with Heir to the Empire.  What I love about this book is that it's more thought provoking and romantic.  There is very little space war, blowing things up, etc.  Instead the characters really develop, there are loves and romances...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/777372">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My first Star Wars read...in my opinion, a good place to start because you only need to have seen the movies.  This book starts out right where Return of the Jedi leaves off.  Kind of a fun story, but pretty much returns to the status where things were at the beginning by the end of the book.
