8 months after their adventure at Dathomir, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and C-3PO are on a mission to Tatooine to recover a priceless work of art that has shown up after being missing for more than 8 years. They soon discover that a certain unknown Imperial Admiral who has a deep interest in art himself is determined to own this piece no matter the cost. It just so happens that Leia would rather see the art destroyed rather than let the Imperials have it because it contains a clue to deciphering the entire Republic spy network. On a personal note for the newlyweds, Han has decided that he may want children after all but Leia is adamant that she will never bring children into the universe because they will be Darth Vader's grandkids and therefore heir to his evilness. In the mad scramble of trying to recover the art and keep it out of the hands of the Imperials, Leia discovers many things about her ancestors that may convince her to change her mind.
This book is very fast paced and succeeds in capturing the attention of the reader. We get to see Leia's growth as she transitions from someone who can't believe anything good about her father to recognizing that sometimes bad things happen to good people. I enjoyed reading as Han brought up several good points that eventually helped her to open her mind to different possibilities.
