The Splinter of the Mind's Eye takes place 2 years after the battle of Yavin (2ABY) and Episode 3.
During their atempt to escape the planet Luke and Leia meet a semi force sensetive called Hala. Hala claims to know the werabouts of a mysterious object that could greatly increase the power of any Force user. She carries a small splinter of the object with her and it convinces Luke and Leia to go search for the rest of it.
In their search for the object they have to deal with the Imperials, native species, and an encounter with Darth Vader.
Did you like it?
The story is very simple and it does not really go deep into anything.
At the time of writing the story the writer did not yet know that Luke and Leia are twins. Luke, unawere of their true relation, is clearly in love with Leia.
I found out that this story was originally written as a scrypt for a potential tv-movie. This explains the simplicity of the story.
So?
For the hardcore Star Wars fan this book is a must have, for the simple fact that it is the first Star Wars novel.

If you have never read Star Wars Novels you should read something else becouse it could scare you away from the rest of the novels. Start with some of Timothy Zahn's work.
Its is not the best story but it has sentimental value.
Rating: 5/10Links
Locations: Mimban
Hope you enjoy this book.
Greetings Lars
