| At first glance, Coruscant and Kashyyyk couldn’t be more different: one is a metropolis-covered world of technology while the other is the verdant Wookiee homeworld enveloped by immense rain forests. But the two share a dangerous similarity: the further into the shadows one descends, the greater the danger. That’s what Lumpawarrump, Chewbacca’s son, discovers in A Forest Apart. The young Wookiee has grown up hearing tales of his father’s heroics, but he hasn’t heard them from Chewbacca. Chewie’s life debt to Han Solo keeps him constantly on the move and away from home. Without the steadying influence of his father, Lumpy is running wild. His mother, Mallotobuck, decides that a visit to Coruscant is in order. It’s the perfect opportunity for father and son to bond again — and for Lumpy to learn that, even for a great hero like Chewbacca, there is more to life than adventure. But when Lumpy interrupts a burglar in the Solos’ apartment, adventure is all he can think about. Eager to make his father proud, Lumpy disobeys his parents and pursues the escaping criminal into Coruscant’s dangerous underlevels . . . only to stumble upon a secret as shocking as it is deadly. | |||||||||||
