Vonda N. McIntyre

    28 augustus 1948 – 1 april 2019

    Vonda N. McIntyre was een vooraanstaand Amerikaans sciencefictionauteur wiens werken diepgaande menselijke vragen verkennen binnen futuristische en dystopische settings. Haar innovatieve benadering van het genre, vaak met sterke vrouwelijke protagonisten en complexe maatschappelijke verkenningen, onderscheidde haar in het literaire landschap. McIntyre was een pionier in het onderzoeken van de impact van technologie op de menselijke samenleving en de ethische dilemma's die daaruit voortvloeien. Haar vermogen om boeiende verhalen te creëren met een rijke karakterdiepte verzekerde haar een blijvende plaats tussen vooraanstaande sciencefictionauteurs.

      Prinses Leia, Chewbacca en R2-D2 doen op hun tocht langs enkele werelden van de Nieuwe Republiek de planeet Munto Codru aan. Tot Leia’s ontzetting worden haar kinderen – Jacen, Jaina en Anakin – van de planeet ontvoerd. De machthebbers op Munto Codru doen hier aanvankelijk nogal luchtig over. Het zou gaan om een zogenaamde coup-ontvoering, een traditionele manier om aandacht te vragen voor problemen. Leia besluit de zaken echter niet af te wachten en gaat samen met R2-D2 en Chewbacca op zoek naar haar kinderen. Han Solo, niet op de hoogte van de kidnapping, is ondertussen samen met Luke Skywalker en C-3PO naar het afgelegen ruimtestation Crseih afgereisd, daartoe aangezet door een mysterieus bericht dat verband houdt met een verdwenen Jedi. Intussen is de machtige Sith Lord Hethrir bezig met het trainen van een legertje jonge kinderen met Jedi-gaven. Zijn doel is niets minder dan het laten herrijzen van het Rijk...

She is soon assigned for training to Jan Hiraku, who quickly realises that Mischa has immense abilities.
