Shadows of the Empire illuminates the shadowy outlines of a criminal conspiracy that exists in the background of the events in the movies, ruled by a character new to us. Prince Xizor is a mastermind of evil who dares to oppose one of the best-known fictional villains of all time: Darth Vader. The story involves all the featured Star Wars movie characters, plus Emperor Palpatine and, of course, Lord Vader himself.
This is pretty much a must for any fan of Star Wars. It fits in nicely between Empire and Return. I loved Xizor and was pretty sad that I won't be seeing him in anymore books but he was an awesome character.
