Title: Star Bores
Product review: Dave Wolverton is an okay author. I read some of his other stuff (this includes other SW short stories he did for the Tales Of series,) and liked them. But it is so obvious that he is in over his head in this one. Take the plot: When Leia goes to marry another man, Han kidnaps her and drags her off to a planet he had won in a card game (!?!,) which turns out to be inhabitted by a race of force-sensitive witches(!?!) who keep Rancors as pets (!?!) and battle more another tribe of witches. Now, is it just me, or is this a little silly? This ultra-politically correct book tries not to insult any minorities, but manages to offend it's majority: the Star Wars fan. Admittly, Wolverton had a hard job, making a novel out of the premise of how Han and Leia wed in the Thrawn trilogy, but Steve Perry had an even harder job with Shadows Of The Empire and he managed to pull it off. Say, I wonder what it would have been like if he had written this...
