From the Inside Flap

Enter the Star Wars universe....Zak and Tash Arranda, and their guardian, Uncle Hoole, have landed on the planet D'vouran. Nothing seems out of the ordinary at first. D'vouran is a beautiful planet, rich in natural resources and inhabited by friendly, hospitable creatures. And meeting the famous Rebels Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Luke Skywalker in the local cantina is very cool. But something about the planet is not quite right. People seem to be disappearing into thin air. Can Tash find the courage to trust her gut instincts...before it's too late? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for young readers, February 6, 2000

This review is from: Eaten Alive (Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear, Book 1) (Paperback)

This series, Galaxy of Fear, used to be my favorite series. It is great for new Star Wars readers around 10 years old. It is nice because it does not confuse you with complicated Star Wars terms and yet has a very good plots. It is not all that long only about 100 and some pages, another reason it is good for young readers. I would finsh them in 3 to 5 days. I would never be able to put these books down. It is one of the few Star Wars books that does not use the main characters Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, ETC. It also does not require you to read the seris in order (though I recommend it). The author does a great job explaining the history you need to know. I would not recommend this book for vetran Star Wars novel readers. If you are a new reader to the Star Wars galaxy I would begin with this series.

This review is from: Eaten Alive (Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear, Book 1) (Paperback)

This book is great, it's full of suspense and is the most coolest mystery i've read! First you sorta wanna ignore Bebo and then he becomes a vital source of the seceret of D'Vouran, and then you think Samada Must of kid napped everyone, then i thought it was the Enzeen but the true predator was totally astonishing! And then when that part Uncle Hoole came in, my heart lurched with amazement to see him because i thought he went down with everyone else!!

This is a book that every Star Wars fan MUST get!!!!!!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Eaten Alive (Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear, Book 1) (Library Binding)

Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear "Eaten Alive" is a great mystery of trust and honesty. In the book, it shows that even though siblings can be so annoyed of each other, they can just as easily help each other out in life. These brother and sister find out how useful it is to have trust in somebody by finding out that the the people of the planet they are on not only have a secret of their own but the planet does too. I recomend this book to any reader or person who likes something that has to do with great characters, Star Wars, suspense, or great mysteries.
