Specter Of The Past

In the first of two new novels, Zahn (Heir to the Empire, Bantam, 1991) turns in his usual high-caliber performance in the ongoing Star Wars space-opera saga. A few remaining Imperial officials seek to negotiate a peace with the New Republic, but calls for vengeance against the Bothans for their compliance in destroying the Caamasi planet and pirate raids on supply ships threaten to tear apart the New Republic government, with Leia, Han, and Luke trying to maintain the peace. The second novel, Vision of the Future, will be published in 1998. For sf collections with the series.
