Chicago Force Book Club Meeting

On Saturday, April 26, at 1:00 P.M., Chicago Force’s Errant Venture book club will discuss Tatooine Ghost by Troy Denning. Six months after their marriage, Han and Leia, along with Chewbacca and C-3PO, are sent to Mos Espa to recover an Alderaanian painting containing secret Rebel codes. While tracking the artwork, they uncover secrets of the Skywalker family. Join us as we talk about this book which bridges the gap between the prequel and original trilogies, taking place between The Courtship of Princess Leia and Heir to the Empire.

The meeting will be held at Borders at 150 N. State Street in Chicago. A 20% discount on the book is available for those participating in the group. Please note that this discount is only available at the Borders on State Street. After the meeting, at approximately 3:00 P.M., we’ll have some lunch at Bennigan’s at 225 N. Michigan Avenue. If you have any questions, send an e-mail to city moderator Phil Salomon (Mos_Eisleian_Radio).
