Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Scott on August 12, 2015

I was dismayed, but not that shocked, to see the overwhelming number of negative reviews of Barbara Hambly’s novel “Children of the Jedi” on Goodreads. A quick perusal of fan reviews gives one the clear notion that Hambly is NOT well-liked by Star Wars Expanded Universe (SWEU) fans. Indeed, she seem......more

Goodreads review by Caleb Likes Books on April 07, 2023

Well, this was… not quite underwhelming, because I sort of expected it, but still disappointing. Having really enjoyed Darksaber, the last book in this sequence, I hoped this one would be on a similar level. Unfortunately, like Hambly’s last book Children of the Jedi, this was a dud for me. There ar......more

Goodreads review by Meggie on September 08, 2020

For 2020, I decided to reread (in publication order) all the Bantam-era Star Wars books that were released between 1991 and 1999; that shakes out to 38 adult novels and 5 anthologies of short stories & novellas. This week’s focus: the last book in the informal Callista trilogy, Planet of Twilight by......more

Goodreads review by Joshua on January 24, 2024

Similar to the first in this series, this felt like getting dropped into episode 2 of 3 of a tv show with......more

Goodreads review by Adam on August 17, 2024

In some ways, I feel like giving 2 stars is being too generous. This book has so many flaws its hard to count them all It's so hard to follow Hamblys writing. There were so many places I'd have to re read several times and still end up confused. The book was constant word salad, tons of convoluted sen......more
