Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

This is a story that I've wanted to read since the media event originally happened in 1996, but never had the opportunity to read until recently. I'm not sure I would have appreciated it as much back then as I do now. I particularly enjoy seeing how authors manage to work a piece of fiction in between canon events and to tie it together so well. Steve Perry did the job well here and struck a decent balance between new material and classic callbacks between the movies.
