The Courtship of Princess Leia
by
Dave Wolverton
Though Darth Vader and the Emperor are dead
,
the Empire lives on and a weakend Alliance
must
find powerful new help if it is to survive
. The answer
could lie in the Hapes consortium , a cluster
of
sixty-three high tech worlds . There is only
one catch :
Princess Leia must marry the Queen mothers
son ,
the dashing and wealthy Prince Isolder.
Han Solo reacts badly to the news . Tricking
Leia , he
flees with her to the beautiful but untamed
planet of
Dathomir , where he hopes to change her mind
-- and
win her heart . Meanwhile , Luke Skywalker
and R-2
form an unlikely partnership with the jilted
prince to
track down the runaways . But their mission
is only the
beginning of an adventure that will lead to
the discovery
of an awesome treasure , a group of force-trained
"witches" , and a showdown with an invincible
foe.
