The specter of the meancing Grand Admiral Thrawn looms over Luke
Skywalker and Mara Jade as they embark on a journey to recover an
important piece of Jedi history. Sometimes it seems a Jedi's work
is never done and Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker know this only too
well. Despite the bond they share in the Force, after three years
of marriage the Jedi Master and his wife are still learning the
ropes of being a couple-and struggling to find time together
between the constant demands of duty.But all that will change when
they're united on an unexpected mission: They must pool their
exceptional skills to combat an insidious enemy and salvage a part
of Jedi history. Whatever may await, the Skywalkers will not face
it alone. Joining them on the strange and solemn journey are an
officer of the post-Palpatine Empire, escorted by a detachment of
Imperial stormtroopers, a party of diplomats from a gentle alien
species that reveres the fallen Jedi for saving them from
bloodthirsty conquerors, and a New Republic ambassador who harbors
his own mysterious agenda.Soon enough, suspicion, secrecy, and an
unknown saboteur run rampant aboard the isolated ship. But it is
within the derelict walls of Outbound Flight itself, buried for
half a century on a desolate planetoid, where the gravest danger
lies. As the marooned hulk yields up stunning revelations and
unexpected terrors to its visitors, Luke and Mara find all they
stand for-and their very existence-brutally challenged.And the
ultimate test will be surviving the deathtrap carefully laid by
foes who are legendary for their ruthlessness . . .and determined
to complete the job Thrawn began: exterminating the Jedi.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
