It's as if no time at all has passed since I novelized the first film and then wrote Splinter of the Mind's Eye. I'm doing my darndest to maintain that feeling throughout the book.

Darth Vader may have been redeemed and the Emperor vanquished, but peace can be fleeting, and evil does not easily relent. Set years after Return of the Jedi, this stunning new action-packed adventure rockets us back into the world of Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Luke Skywalker, while introducing a host of exciting new characters.

Foster also wrote the first Star Wars novel to not be based on a movie in 1978, Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, a prequel-era novel called The Approaching Storm and the novelization for The Force Awakens. Alan Dean Foster was a ghost writer on the original novelization of Star Wars, which was initially credited solely to George Lucas.
