Les ombres de l'Empire
by Steve Perry
Ce volet de la mythique saga de la Guerre des Etoiles s'insère entre l'Empire contre-attaque et Le Retour du Jedi... Dark Vador est toujours vivant. Et le Seigneur Noir de Sith va devoir affronter un adversaire aussi puissant et aussi maléfique que lui : Xizor, le seigneur incontesté du Soleil Noir, une organisation criminelle dont les ramifications s'étendent jusqu'au fin fond de la galaxie. Son ambition ? Prouver que Dark Vador, bras droit de l'Empereur Palpatine, n'est plus digne de confiance. Pour ce faire, il concocte un plan machiavélique qui vise à discréditer Vador aux yeux de l'Empereur. Mais, dans le même temps, le criminel doit participer aux côtes du Seigneur Noir à une quête maléfique dont l'enjeu n'est autre que Luke Skywalker, le jeune héros de la rébellion. Alors que Vador et Xizor tendent les rets qui leur permettront de piéger Luke, la princesse Leia met sur pied une expédition afin de libérer l'homme qu'elle aime : Yan Solo est en effet toujours prisonnier de sa gangue de carbontite... Auteur de plusieurs dizaines de livres fantastiques et de romans de science-fiction, Steve Perry a parfaitement capté l'esprit de la saga galactique et a réussi à développer une intrigue sans faille où éléments connus et éléments nouveaux fusionnent à merveille.
