Prepare yourself for a nonstop Leia-fest. The New Republic's new leader is back in bondage again, but at least this time she doesn't have Jabba the Hut slobbering all over her. Kidnapped after a clandestine mission to the former prison-planet Nam Chorios goes awry, Leia relies on her wits, her ever-developing Jedi powers (including some mean saber-swinging), and her pals to escape, survive, and resolve the conflict on the desolate planet. Han, Chewie, and Lando may get short shrift in Planet of Twilight, but Luke gets in some good scenes on the trail of Force-sensitive babe Callista, and the droids provide more than their share of laughs. While veteran writer Hambly doesn't subscribe to the admittedly entertaining shut-up-and-start-blasting school of Star Wars writing, her skilled characterizations and more literary stylings are a welcome addition to the fold. --Paul Hughes
From Booklist
Hambly's previous Star Wars novel, Children of the Jedi (1995), was arguably the finest in the successful movie spin-off series. This one is just as good. On a grisly desert planet called Nam Chorios, two factions are battling for power. One kidnaps Leia Organa Solo, sending Han, Luke, and the two droids on a desperate chase after her, with Luke also seeking his beloved Callista, who is supposed to be on Nam Chorios. Meanwhile, one faction spreads a murderous plague, and remnants of the overthrown empire threaten to join the party. In due course, everybody is united on Nam Chorios--Luke after a starship crash, Leia after a hairbreadth escape, and Han and the droids after surviving a planetary crisis (a savage parody of current real-world Balkan warfare). Eventually, Luke realizes that Callista must go on alone until she regains her Force powers, the crystals that are being exported from Nam Chorios as weapons are recognized as sapient life-forms, and our old friend Admiral Daala at last abandons the crumbling imperial cause for the cause of peace. Hambly is superior to most of the other SW authors at vivid world building, humor (she does Ce-ethreepio marvelously well), and understanding the characters. This book deserves an audience extending far beyond that of fans responding to its movie tie-in nature. Roland Green

More of the same,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Star Wars: Planet of Twilight (Taschenbuch)
Has anyone noticed that the Star Wars plots, with the exception of Timothy Zahn's, are being repeated over and over again? With the latest batch of one volume tales, a small crisis happens, someone goes to investigate, they uncover something that could destroy the universe and the New Republic, all the main characters get together, Luke usually gets injured, and they overcome insurmountable obstacles to save the day. Well, this book is the same thing. About the only thing that was even interesting was Leia and a Hutt having a lightsaber duel! Stick with the X-wing books and/or the original Zahn trilogy. Zahn's newest book also shows some potential to break out of the mold. Of course, if you've got a friend who bought this, go ahead and read it, but I wouldn't bother reading it.

A solid read for any Star Wars fan.,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Star Wars: Planet of Twilight (Taschenbuch)
You people are harsh! This book is not a classic battle of the Republic Vs. the Empire but it was a great new twist I thought. Besides this book, I have only read the Zahn books in the SW's series and lets face it Zahn is a SW master. But if you are looking for an interesting story where some former Admiral or General from the Empire doesn't mysteriously reappear out of hyper-space check this book out. I thought it was an a thought provoking enemy and the challenges that Luke and Leia face with the Force was also intriguing. My only negative comment on the book is the too perfect ending. When Liegus and Dalla found each other was too much, and unless she plans on continuing with these characters in future novels who cares what happens to them?

Hambly shows maturity with this well-written book.,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Star Wars: Planet of Twilight (Taschenbuch)
Barbara Hambly shows surprising maturity in this book, which is very well written, and much better than the awful Children of the Jedi. This book not only has a good plot but it deals with life, the Force, and relationships in a much deeper, almost religious, way than many previous Star Wars novels. There is serious philosophical discussion and thought involving Luke, Leia, Callista, and the other characters. Also, Daala, dealing with her broken spirit, and eventually turning away from evil, fits in perfectly with George Lucas' original theme of redemption. This is a must read for any true fan of the Force, as well as for the newcomer. Planet of Twilight is truly worthy of joining the Star Wars Universe.
