Star Wars Trilogy by George Lucas

Luke Skywalker, proud Princess Leia, and headstrong Han Solo . . . merciless Darth Vader, wise Obi-Wan Kenobi, loyal droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, and the inscrutable Yoda . . . Chewbacca the Wookiee, shifty Lando Calrissian, and the vile Jabba the Hutt . . . all the vivid characters from the Star Wars universe spring to life in these thrilling pages.

James Kahn is an ER physician who received his education at the University of Chicago and UCLA. He's also written a number of science fiction novels and novelizations, including Return of the Jedi, which was a New York Times #1 bestseller. He also worked as a television writer and producer on shows including Melrose Place, Star Trek: Voyager, and others. In recent years, he's been concentrating on creating and producing Americana music CDs, including folk, blues, and country. His writing has recently taken a new direction.
He spent years researching a little-known aspect of the American Civil War, Matamoros, the Mexican town on the Rio Grande recently across the border from Brownsville, Texas, and has just finished writing a historical novel on it. Since Napoleon III had just invaded Mexico, bent on installing Archduke Maximilian of Austria as its Emperor, Matamoros was a sanctuary for Yankee and Rebel spies, gunrunners, cotton smugglers, Texas Rangers - and French Foreign Legionnaires. Under the shadow of two wars, Clay, an expatriate Southern gentleman, and Allie, his ex-con artist partner, are entangled in a star-crossed affair. In addition to the novel, Kahn has released a CD of songs, each track focusing on one of the characters in the book, explaining backstories and futures and providing a deeper knowledge of the characters' inner lives in the American folksong style.
James Kahn is married to artist Jill Littlewood and resides in California. Additional information is available at www.ThatJamesKahn.com.
