  <default_description>As the war between the Republic and the scattered&#160;&#160;remnants of the Empire continues, two&#160;&#160;children--the Jedi twins--will come into their powers in a&#160;&#160;universe on the brink of vast changes and challenges.&#160;&#160;In this time of turmoil and discovery, an&#160;&#160;extraordinary new &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; saga&#160;&#160;begins....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; While Luke Skywalker takes the first&#160;&#160;step toward setting up an academy to train a new&#160;&#160;order of Jedi Knights, Han Solo and Chewbacca are&#160;&#160;taken prisoner on the planet Kessel and forced to&#160;&#160;work in the fathomless depths of a spice mine. But&#160;&#160;when Hans and Chewie break away, they flee&#160;&#160;desperately to a secret imperial research laboratory&#160;&#160;surrounded by a cluster of black holes--and go from&#160;&#160;one danger to a far greater one....&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; On&#160;&#160;Kessel, Luke picks up the trail of his two friends,&#160;&#160;only to come face to face with a weapon so awesome,&#160;&#160;it can wipe out an entire solar system. It is a&#160;&#160;death ship called the Sun Crusher, invented by a&#160;&#160;reclusive genius and piloted by none other than Han&#160;&#160;himself...</default_description>

Zahn’s novels were fine, but lacked the magic I’d felt in the original three movies. I just doubt any of these books can recapture how those films made me feel as a kid in the early 80s.

    <body><![CDATA[There really isn't much I can say about this, other than the fact that I am simultaneously amused and appalled that my twelve-year-old self liked this book so much. In fairness, it's not that Anderson is a bad writer, though his characterisation makes me want to smack him frequently; it's just that ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1670973">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I actually liked this book for awhile. I like kids and come on, who doesn't love cute little twins? Luke searching for Academy candidates was interesting as well, both for the novelty and the long reaching consequences for the EU arc. However, I later read the whole X-wing novel series, as well as t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1871860">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I found Jedi Search to be a book that I found interesting pretty much the whole way through, even though I have never liked the character of Luke Skywalker.  I found the plot lines to be interesting and original.  There are a few corny parts, but there are also a lot of really cool ones.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[These were the first Star Wars novels I read, and as such, they have a special place in my heart. I can't really judge them objectively, but if I tried, I'd say they're not as technically impressive as Zahn's Thrawn trilogy, but they're still very entertaining.]]></body>
