    About this audiobook

    No sooner has Darth Vader's funeral pyre burned to ashes on Endor than the Alliance intercepts a call for help from a far-flung Imperial outpost. Bakura is on the edge of known space and the first to meet the Ssi-ruuk, cold-blooded reptilian invaders who, once allied with the now dead Emperor, are approaching Imperial space with only one goal; total domination. Princess Leia sees the mission as an opportunity to achieve a diplomatic victory for the Alliance. But it assumes even greater importance when a vision of Obi-Wan Kenobi appears to Luke Skywalker with the message that he must go to Bakura-or risk losing everything the Rebels have fought so desperately to achieve.

      The only part of this book that stuck with me is the part where Luke is thinking about how his aunt and uncle died back on Tatooine, and it completely contradicts what happened in the movie.
    • 3/5
      This novel, which takes place pretty much right after the events of Episode VI, finds our heroes rushing to the aid of the planet Bakura, which has been under Imperial control and now finds itself under the threat of the Ssi-ruuk, an alien species who want to harness human souls to power small fighter droids. Luke and Leia are dealing with the death of their father (in very different ways), Han is trying to romance Leia amidst political intrigue and fighting, and Luke is learning to fully master his use of the Force. While the events of this book are interesting, I did not connect fully with the story - probably because I kept having to stop reading for long periods of time due to being busy with work and other things. I hope that as I continue to move through the Star Wars novels they become more interesting and engaging.

      Read this one several years ago.Story takes place right after Return of The Jedi. The Alliance has become aware of a distress signal from a far outpost bordering the Unknown Regions and send assistance as part of the first diplomatic missions for the new to be New Republic.Our heroes find a previously unknown alien race, the Ssi-ruuk, who drain the life-energy of sentient beings to power their ships, a technique called entechment.Bakura is an Imperial outpost but because of the Ssi-ruuk threat they agree to join forces with the Rebels and stop an invasion of a species that had not been seen before.Luke meet Gaeriel Captison, a young Bakura senator, to whom he feels an attraction (one of the first love interests for Luke in the Expanded Universe) and Gariel also feels something back but has to fight her religious beliefs that objects the Jedi.Leia also starts dealing with the fact that she is the daughter of Darth Vader who appears in spirit form a few times to ask for her forgiveness.This book opened the possibility of new threats from the Unknown Regions, something that was explored in future books, and also the growth of Luke as a character finding potential romantic interests and become a Jedi Knight/Master. Some readers might not find it one of the best books but it would be a good starting point.

      This was a great introduction to the Star Wars Novels. I wanted to start reading them because I wanted to know what happened next in the story of Luke, Leia, and Han Solo. I loved The Truce at Bakura because it basically picked right up after Return of the Jedi ends.It was high adventure all of the way. It took me awhile to get used to understanding the Star Wars lingo, but once I got the flow of it, all was well.The Rebel group intercepts a message to Emperor Palpatine from a planet quite far away-Bakura. Bakura is under attack by unknown alien forces who are taking hostages. No one knows why they are there . . . but the Imperials on Bakura have no idea that Emperor Palpatine has been killed.In an adventure that twists and turns--Imperial and Rebel forces must unite in order to save themselves from unknown horrors.I enjoyed the book. Its a quick, easy, enjoyable read.

      Not the best Star Wars book ever written, but I'm a completist so I read it. The story isn't great and the "romance" between Han and Leia is awkward.

      The Truce at Bakura (1994) ("Star Wars" novel)Kathy TyersTruce at Bakura was one of the first of Bantam's run of original Star Wars novels which started with Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire in 1991. Bakura picks up the story immediately after Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Before Luke, Leia, Han, and company can gather their breaths following the defeat of the Emperor, a distress call is received from an Imperial world out on the rim called Bakura, one under attack from a mysterious new alien race called the Ssi-ruuk. Luke leads a small rebel strike force to the planet in hopes of driving back the aliens while Leia, Han, and Chewie are sent to try to convince the native people of Bakura to reject their Imperial rulers and join the Rebel Alliance. When they arrive, however, they find a bit more than they had counted on. The Ssi-ruuk have unique technology with which they "entech" prisoners, tranferring their very life energies in order to power attack droids and other Ssi-ruuk technology. Dangers lies both from the Ssi-ruuk and from the Imperial Governor Nereus, who is eager to betray the fragile truce between Imperials and rebels as soon as the Ssi-ruuk can be turned away. (Finished reading 3/26/07. Also read earlier when it first came out in late 1993 or 1994.)

      A continuation of the Star Wars saga after the destruction of the second Death Star. Luke, Leia, Han and the gang travel to a far off Imperial controlled planet that has sent a distress call. Bakura is being invaded by a mysterious alien force and the meager Imperial presence there is unable to defend the planet without reinforcements. The Alliance decides that this is a prime opportunity to win a planet over to it's cause.I enjoyed this novel quite a bit. I haven't read any of the Star Wars books besides the original trilogy and Phantom Menace. The story remains true to the feel of the original Star Wars trilogy and the action continues along nicely. There is also quite a bit of political intrigue and maneuvering that keeps things interesting during the slow points in the action and an attempt to throw a love interest Luke's way as well as continuing the budding love affair between Han and Leia. The author has created new characters and alien races that feel like a natural part of the Star Wars universe. It's a fun read and I would recommend it for any Star Wars fan.

      Good read. Wish it was longer. There's a slight feel of, "... Legends of Luke Skywalker", to it. Will definitely read again.

      The Emperor is dead, but the Empire lives on. Luke, Leia, and Han go to a planet that I assume is named Bakura, where they try to convince the Imperial governers to surrender. Luke falls in love and tries to save a boy who is talented in the Force but controlled by evil. But what I really remember is that Luke is infected by parasites that everyone *knows* will kill him, but he fights them off with the Force and then, in a dramamtic moment that I remember to this day, appears to confront his former enemies. One of them shoots at him, he ducks, and then (barely holding himself together after all his adventures and fighting off the infection) he slowly presses upward and stands again, like a "lithe grey shadow." At least ten years later I remember specific lines from this scene. For some reason it made a huge impression upon me. For the Luke scenes alone, I recommend reading this book in addition to the rightfully ubiquitously recommended Zahn trilogy.

      This book continues exactly after the last of the original Star Wars movies ends. It is well done and a fun read.

      An imperial communications device had been found by rebel forces shortly after the Battle of Endor. Within it contained a message of distress from the planet Bakura to the recently deceased Emperor. A fleet of Rebel ships had then departed on its way to the system, although will the imperials cooperate in such a presence? A truce may as well be all that can stop this alien force terrorizing the planet and its resources. Kathy Tyers continues the story beginning shortly after the moment Return of the Jedi ends in Bantam Spectra’s Star Wars: The Truce at Bakura. A book that demonstrates not all appears to be what it truly is.
