The Chronicle of the dazzling universe of George Lucas's blockbuster Star Wars "RM" films soars to new heights in this latest chapter in the magnificent Star Wars "RM" saga as the Republic faces its greatest challenge yet.
Star Wars: Children of the Jedi
Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca set out on a mission vital to the survival of the fragile New Republic. Searching for the long-lost children of the Jedi, their quest takes them to the once vibrant stronghold of Belsavis -- now a nearly forgotten frozen world. Leia has heard tales of a Jedi exodus from the dark crypts below the planer's surface. but she has also heard that no one entering the crypts has returned alive.
Halfway across the galaxy, Luke Skywalker has undertaken an equally dangerous expedition that, if it fails, could have fatal consequences for Leia, Han and Chewbacca. Haunted by ominous dreams and guided by a force he cannot identify, Luke journeys to a remote asteroid field over the planet Pzob. There he discovers the automated Dreadnaught Eye of Palpatine -- camouflaged deep within a nebulous gas cloud and dormant for thirty years. Governed by a supersophisticated artificial intelligence system known as the Will, The Eye is on the move. Its mission: the total annihilation of Belsavis.
Taken aboard the Dreadnaught, Luke is counseled by the spirit of Callista, a Jedi Knight who gave her life to stop the ship once before. Now Luke must learn from her how to destroy it once and for all.

Review:
As Children of the Jedi opens, a crazed, drug-addled ex-smuggler named Drub McKumb lunges at Han Solo in the middle of his and Leia's state visit to Ithor. (Long after the destruction of the second Death Star, Leia is now the New Republic's work-weary head of state.) Han, Leia, and Luke soon surmise that this isn't just another of Han's drinking buddies but rather a weirdly altered man carrying a terrible secret. Piecing together clues from McKumb's glossolaliac rants, Han and Leia set off in search of the ancient hiding place of the Children of the Jedi, while Luke--using the Force and his former-pupil-and-pal-turned-droid Nichos as a random number generator--decides to head off to a set of coordinates halfway across the galaxy.
From the Publisher:
They all end up finding more than they bargained for: Han and Leia's search for the Jedi ends on icy, isolated Belsavis; while Luke stumbles onto a humongous but dormant Imperial death machine- -which, not coincidentally, has stirred to life the intent to utterly annihilate Belsavis. Can he possibly stop it in time? Star Wars authors tend to be either you-love-'em-or-you-hate-'em types, but veteran writer Hambly makes a good go at falling into the former camp in this outing, along with the likes of Michael Stackpole and Kevin J. Anderson. --Paul Hughes
One of the Empire's most devious inventions was a mammoth unmanned dreadnought, governed by a sophisticated artificial intelligence. It was deployed to crush a stronghold where many Jedi family were sheltered. Crippled during the war against the Empire, the vessel has drifted through space for years. But now it is slowly reactivating and resuming its inexorable mission--one that will draw Luke Skywalker aboard the death ship for the challenge of his life, while Han and Leia try to piece together the ancient mysteries of the ancient Jedi enclave. Here is a novel that delivers all the wonder, adventure, action, and suspense that have thrilled a legion of loyal fans. , (TM) and 1995 Lucasfilm Ltd. All rights reserved. Used under authorization.
