Shesh waved Cuf back to the chair. “Politics is a practical profession,” she said. “If someone has what you need, then you do business with him or you go without. And personally, I’ve always been more interested in business than I have in politics.”

The unforgettable Star Wars saga continues with The New Jedi Order adventures . . .
They had been living on the very edge of disaster for so very long, fighting battles, literally, for decades, running from bounty hunters and assassins. Even the first time Han and Leia had met, on the Death Star, of all places, and in the gallows of the place, to boot! So many times, it seemed, one or more of them should have died.
And yet, in a strange way, that close flirting with death had only made Han think them all the more invulnerable. They could dodge any blaster, or piggy-back on the side of an asteroid, or climb out a garbage chute, or . . .
But not anymore. Not now. The bubble of security was gone.
To Han Solo, the galaxy suddenly seemed a more dangerous place by far . . .
