About this audiobook
Han Solo and Leia Organa take center stage, and stunning revelations from the past play a critical role in shaping the future, as the New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Star by Star now turns to a crucial chapter in the classic Star Wars saga.
The deaths of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, and victory at the Battle of Endor by no means spelled the end of the Empire. In the aftermath, the New Republic has faced a constant struggle to survive and grow. And now a new threat looms: a masterpiece of Alderaanian art-lost in transit after the planet's destruction-has resurfaced on the black market. Offered at auction, it will command a handsome price . . . but its greatest value lies in the vital secret it conceals-the key to a code used to communicate with New Republic agents deep undercover within the Empire. Discovery of the key by Imperial forces would spell certain disaster. The only option is recovery-and Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO have been dispatched to Tatooine to infiltrate the auction.
But trouble is waiting when they arrive: an Imperial Star Destroyer is orbiting Tatooine on the lookout for Rebels; a mysterious stranger at the auction seems to recognize Leia; and an Imperial officer's aggressive bidding for the Alderaanian painting could foil the Solos' mission. When a dispute erupts into violence, and the painting vanishes in the chaos, Han and Leia are thrust into a desperate race to reclaim it-before Imperial troops or a band of unsavory treasure-peddlers get there first.
Dangerous as the chase is, for Leia it leads into especially dark territory. Already haunted by the specter of her infamous father, and fearful that his evil may infect future generations, she has suffered a disturbing Force-vision of Luke turning to the dark side. As she battles beside Han against marauding TIE fighters, encroaching stormtroopers, and Tatooine's savage Tusken Raiders, Leia's struggle with the warring emotions inside her culminates in the discovery of an extraordinary link to the past. And as long-buried secrets and truths at last emerge, she faces a moment of reckoning that will forever alter her destiny . . . and that of the New Republic.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Shortly after Han and Leia’s marriage, a very valuable art piece of the New Republic resurfaces after being thought to have been destroyed along with Alderaan. The newlyweds themselves were chosen to recover this vital item found to be the key to a top secret New Republic communication code. It is Han and Leia’s goal to retrieve this artifact before the Empire can, although as an Imperial Star Destroyer appears seemingly on its way to Tatooine, things seem to get tricky. Troy Denning’s Del Rey masterpiece, Star Wars: Tatooine Ghost is an iconic must have novel for any Han and Leia fan with its mysteries and adventures.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It is becoming clear to me that I am not part of the intended audience of the Star Wars Extended Universe. This episode is set immediately after Leia's wedding to Han Solo but there is no convincing emotional bond between the newlyweds. It may appeal to someone who cares about Leia's grandmother, Shmi, the progentitor of the Skywalker line whose story is expanded here.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed the character development in this book. There is a requisite adventure where everyone almost dies. However, there is an interesting exploration of the importance of viewpoint. Leia is confronted by a whole different side of Anakin - which makes her have to see him as something more than just Darth Vader. Also fun is the relationship between Han & Leia as newlyweds.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Set after The Return of the Jedi, Han and Leia return to Tatooine to buy a surviving treasure from Alderaan. Lots of danger and adventure ensues. Which all takes a back seat to their growing relationship. There's a realistic issue with how they feel about having children and how things between them are still a little rough despite the smoochies.
