By:  Barbara Hambly Published by Bantam Books May 1995 Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca set out on a mission vital to the survival of the fragile New Republic.  They are searching for the long-lost children of the Jedi on the frozen world of Belsavis, from whose dark crypts no one has returned alive.  Halfway across the galaxy, Luke Skywalker is on an equally dangerous mission.  Taken aboard the enemy Dreadnaught Eye of Palpatine, Luke must find a way to destroy the automated ship before it completes the mission encoded into its supersophisticated artificial intelligence:  the total annihilation of Belsavis.  To succeed, Luke will need the help of the spirit of the Jedi Knight Callista, who gave her life to stop the ship once before.

    The Gamorrean hurled a table at him, which Luke bisected, then struck at him with an ax at the same moment a ricocheting blaster bolt caught Luke glancingly on the shoulder.  Either the blaster was turned fairly low or its power cell was exhausted, but the jolt of it knocked him, gasping and confused, to the floor.  He rolled, his vision blurring, blacking.  Cut at the Gamorrean, who'd been joined by a friend, also wielding an ax--double vision?  Luke wondered cloudily, but he took off one assailant's arm and tried to get to his feet and out the door.  He couldn't--his head was swimming too badly for him to figure out why--and he could only slash upward at his remaining assailant, cleaving in half the table that slammed down on him before it could crush his bones.
    The cold sick weakness of shock and the sensation of something being wrong with the gravity . . . .
    Then the Klaggs were gone, leaving a shambles of blood and broken furniture.  Luke stayed conscious just long enough to switch off his lightsaber.
