A "Star Wars" novel set between the events of "Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi", it features a younger Han, Leia, and Luke, as well as Mara Jade.

Luke, Han, and Chewbacca are sent on a mission to help some rebel supporters. Leia is busy being a diplomat, trying to drum up support for the Rebel Alliance. And a band of 5 stormtroopers, on the run after refusing a direct order, finds itself in the strange position of doing good deeds...and perhaps even aiding the Rebellion.
