Why this must be read: Padmé lives. I say that, and what do you think? Well, there'll be an angsty reunion with Vader for sure. She'll nobly throw herself at his feet, he'll forget he was evil, they'll live together in a penthouse on Naboo and the suit will magically disappear into the same thin air that logic did. Or, better still, she'll bitterly refuse to forgive him, take Luke and Leia away and start a passionate affair with Obi-Wan (who has no scruples about sleeping with his brother's wife, natch). Or, better even than that, Luke and Leia are conveniently all grown up when she resurfaces from whatever dark pit she's hid herself in for however many years, and welcome her into their lives with open arms. And somehow, somewhere, Vader gets involved. And then there is sex.
Well, I can tell you here and now that Far More Than Rubies is nothing like that. After the tragic deaths of Owen and Beru Lars, Obi-Wan Kenobi finds himself taking care of a young Luke. He decides that the best course of action is to call Luke's mysterious mother, a high-ranking Rebel operative, to be reunited with her son, despite the danger that comes with being in the Rebellion. The Rebel's name?
Oh, come on. Don't tell me you haven't worked that out by now.
Fans of the young Princess Leia will be sorely disappointed -- there's next to no mention of her at all, save a few passing references to her life on Alderaan. But for fans of believable, brilliant OCs -- including the excellently portrayed L'Hanna -- tense plot lines, intrigue, mystery, space battles, Firmus Piett, manipulative Imperials, new technology, spies and Darth Vader and Obi-Wan having a long-awaited showdown? Well, there's plenty of that. There's also believeable, friendly interaction between Padmé and Obi-Wan, humour, several interesting subplots, an original ending, and the possibility of a sequel. Liked ANH? Well. You'll like this.
