Star Wars: Shadow Games

SOME GAMES ARE PLAYED FOR LIFE OR DEATH.

Javul Charn is the most famous pop star in the galaxy–and the runaway bride of a violent lieutenant in Black Sun, the crime syndicate commanded by Prince Xizor. Or so Javul says. Soon after Dash Rendar, broke and desperate, agrees to be Javul’s bodyguard, he realizes that openness is not her strong suit–and that murder is stalking her tour. Between the discovery of dead bodies in a cargo hold and an attack by an unidentified warship, Dash and co-pilot Eaden Vrill desperately try to understand who is terrorizing Javul’s tour and why. When Han Solo suddenly joins Javul’s road show, the stakes are raised even higher. Now Dash, who has a history with Han and an even worse history with Prince Xizor, follows his instincts, his discoveries, and Javul herself–straight into a world that may be too dangerous to survive.

Editorial Reviews

In the latest Star Wars adventure, Dash Rendar is broke, stranded, and desperate. To solve his problems, he becomes a bodyguard for Javul Cham, a multi-talented human holostar who is being stalked by a twisted fan. What begins, however, as a somewhat typical celebrity quickly becomes something far more menacing. Set in the period immediately before the events of Stars Wars: A New Hope, this new adventure features a guest appearance by Han Solo. A mass market paperback and NOOK Book original with crossover appeal. (P.S. Star Wars: Shame Games features a bonus section that includes a primer on the series’ expanded universe and over half a dozen excerpts from popular Star Wars books of the past three decades.)
