Book Reviews of Tatooine Ghost (Star Wars)
Book Review: A ghost of the past haunts Leia on Tatooine
Summary: 4 Stars
Set between David Wolverton's "The Courtship of Princess Leia" and Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy - the original sequels that launched the Star Wars Expanded Universe - "Tatooine Ghost" is a thrilling adventure yarn. Han and Leia Solo, fresh from their honeymoon, attempt to slip onto Tatooine to bid on a rare, and very important to the New Republic, piece of Alderaanian art, a moss painting called Killik Twilight. What makes it important is that a data chip containing codes and other information about rebel spies within the Empire is hidden in the painting. Being a Star Wars adventure, things go wrong right from the get-go and Han and Leia are one step behind the painting and one step ahead of the Imperials, who want not only the painting (for different reasons) but the Solos as well. But the chase is really just a nicely constructed Hitchcockian MacGuffin that gets Princess Leia on Tatooine and into situations and locations that allow her to discover the boy Anakin Skywalker used to be (before he became a Sith Monster) and the slave mother who mourned her son's departure to chase his dreams of glory. So the book works as both an action adventure piece AND as an emotionally engaging character study (at least on a Space Opera level). Fans will enjoy how Denning weaves together the Original and Prequel events and makes them fit together into one epic tale. The paperback also includes Denning's Chewbacca story "A Forest Apart", which is a real treat for those that remember the maligned "Star Wars Christmas Special"! Recommended.
