Product Description:
New York Times bestselling author Barbara Hambly returns to the Star Wars(r) universe to tell a breathtaking tale of a mysterious world where the battle between the New Republic and the Empire takes a shocking new twist....
Nam Chorios is a barren backwater world--once a dreaded prison colony, now home to a fanatic religious cult. It is here that Princess Leia has been taken captive by a ruthless and charismatic warlord bent on destroying the New Republic. Meanwhile, Luke lands on a mysterious planet in search of his lost love, Callista, only to discover the Force is his own worst enemy. But worst of all, as Han, Chewie, and Lando leave Coruscant on a desperate rescue mission, a strange life-form, unlike any the galaxy has ever seen, awakens...a life-form so malevolent it will destroy everything--both Empire and New Republic--on its path to domination.
Amazon.com Review:
Prepare yourself for a nonstop Leia-fest. The New Republic's new leader is back in bondage again, but at least this time she doesn't have Jabba the Hut slobbering all over her. Kidnapped after a clandestine mission to the former prison-planet Nam Chorios goes awry, Leia relies on her wits, her ever-developing Jedi powers (including some mean saber-swinging), and her pals to escape, survive, and resolve the conflict on the desolate planet. Han, Chewie, and Lando may get short shrift in Planet of Twilight, but Luke gets in some good scenes on the trail of Force-sensitive babe Callista, and the droids provide more than their share of laughs. While veteran writer Hambly doesn't subscribe to the admittedly entertaining shut-up-and-start-blasting school of Star Wars writing, her skilled characterizations and more literary stylings are a welcome addition to the fold. --Paul Hughes

Rating:  - WORST book I've ever read!!!
I love the Star Wars saga. The three original films rank as my all-time favorite movies. I've also read several Star Wars novels; The Truce at Bakura, X-Wing: Wraith Squadron, Jedi Search, Dark Apprentice, Champions of the Force, Ambush at Corellia, Assault on Selonia, Showdown at Centerpoint, etc. and LOVED them all (very well-written). Then I was given Planet of Twilight as a Christmas gift a few years back. Let me say, I got more satisfaction from watching paint dry than reading this pile. I made ... Read More
Rating: - HAMBLYS A HACK!
These books(Children of the Jedi and Planet of Twilight)prove that Hambly has no business writing Star Wars novels. Hambly has a weak grasp on the characters of Star Wars. In a genre and series whose readers are keen to every small detail in a characters life small changes on the part of the author make a huge unwanted difference. I would not consider these books to be Star Wars novels. The characters were Hamblys own, not the characters that we all know. The only things that remained were the names. ... Read More

Who will live? Who will die? Who will be separated from his long lost love and who will reunite with his? And what is the origination of the mysterious Death Seed plague? You will have to read STAR WARS, PLANET of TWILIGHT, by Barbara Hambly.

Rating:  - O.K.
Evil Hutts, super weapons, a mad imperial dictator, and a princess held captive? This may sound like the novelization of episode IV but it's not. This is the book Planet of Twilight by Barbara Hambly. It starts of with a plauge, and then goes onto an adventure with B-wings, droids, hyperspace, and mutated misquitos. this book shows us that even admidst our differences we can all help each other(Awwwwwwww).
Rating: - Realistic opinion.
