Shadows Of The Empire: Steve Perry

Star Wars Legends. Xizor, Underlord of a galaxy wide criminal organisation, plans to displace Darth Vader by an evil plan to discredit him in the Emporeror's eyes. But first he will join Vader in making a trap for Luke Skywalker. Han Solo is held captive in a carbonite slab and Princess Leia mounts a rescue mission. Luke organises a crack fighting force including Wedge Antilles and the famous X-wing squadron, Lando Calrissian and the mercenary, Dash Rendar. The fierce battle does not go according to plan. Against the advice of Chewbacca, Leia walks willingly into Xizor's lair in a dangerous passion play in order to get the information she needs to defeat him. Luke is pursued by the beautiful and lethal human replicant Guri, Xizor's lieutenant, and is the potential prize of the two most evil entities in the galaxy. Cover art by Drew Struzan.
