#9 - The Courtship of Princess Leia

[kiwifruitbat]

In the chronological next after Solo Command, Princess Leia faces an interesting set of options... ones that could save or destroy the Republic and her personal life. Prince Isolder, son of the Queen of sixty three worlds seeks her hand in marriage. Han seeks to equal or better the offer of the prince. Luke, for his part, continues to seek answers for questions he barely understands as a Jedi. And lurking in the shadows is an ancient evil that even Palpatine feared... an Evil that will be faced when Han goes for one last Sabaac game putting everything on the line.

Dave Wolverton weaves the story of how Han sought Leia's hand in marriage deftly and highlights the on-going quest of Luke to restore the Jedi to their former glory. Set shortly before Heir to the Empire, it is tender, quick paced and a very enjoyable read.

Ah, in which it is revealed that Han comes from a long line of kings, which he does not voluntarily impart, because they're also a long line of gangsters. Heh.

I was always very fond of Children of the Jedi
