What's new on the shelf?
The Force is strong with this new addition to the IRC.
Star Wars Allegiance - Timothy Zahn
"The destruction of the Death Star by the Rebel Alliance was a decisive blow against the Empire, but Palpatine and his monstrous enforcer, Darth Zader, are no less of a threat. Among those standing against them are Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa. The three have been sent to mediate a dispute between Rebel Alliance factions in the Shelsha Sector.
At the same time, Mara Jade - all of eighteen and years away from her fateful meeting with Luke - is serving her evil master Palpatine, tracking suspected treachery in the Empire, while a once loyal Imperial Stormtrooper Daric LaRone, his faith in the Empire shaken by the wanton destruction of Alderaan, commits a sudden and violent act of defiance. Each of these fateful actions, whether sanctioned, secret, or scandalous, will expose brutality and corruption, spur upheavals destined to shake the Empire to its core, and shape momentous events yet to come."
Star Wars Allegiance is an epic tale of battle, treachery and intrigue that is guaranteed to be a hit with all Star Wars fans and with anyone who loves the science fiction genre. Written by veteran Star Wars novelist Timothy Zahn, Allegiance takes you back to a time when the Rebellion was struggling to survive and the Empire reigned supreme throughout the galaxy. Filled with interesting plot twists, exciting light sabre battles and blaster flights, featuring the famous and well-loved characters from the films as well as exciting new additions to the franchise, this is a novel that you won't want to put down.
With the new film hitting theatres later this year, Star Wars Allegiance is the perfect way to jump back into this wonderful and exciting universe!
