Star Wars: Planet of Twilight
Bantam Spectra paperback
With Planet of Twilight, Barbara Hambly completes the story cycle begun in her bestselling novel Children of the Jedi
and continued by Kevin J. Anderson in DarkSaber, bringing to conclusion a very unusual story of love and
adventure for Luke Skywalker. A ruthless warlord's plan to bring down the New Republic began with the kidnapping of
Princess Leia (don't they all?), as Luke searches for his lost love, Callista. Meanwhile, a long-dormant lifeform awakens in a
dark corner of the galaxy -- a sentient creature which will threaten everything Luke and Leia know.
