Bookroo's summary

The Rebel Alliance's victory is short-lived as they hide on Hoth, a frozen wasteland. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia face relentless pursuit by Darth Vader's forces. As they scatter to survive, can they outwit the Empire's dark reach, or will their hopes be crushed under the weight of the galaxy's most feared villain?

From the publisher

Based on the story by George Lucas and the screenplay by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan The adventures of Luke Skywalker did not end with the destruction of the Death Star. Though the Rebel Alliance won a significant battle, the war against the Empire has only just begun. Several months have passed, and the Rebels have established a hidden outpost on the frozen wasteland of Hoth. But even on that icy backwater planet, they cannot escape the evil Darth Vader’s notice for long. Soon Luke, Han, Princess Leia, and their faithful companions will be forced to flee, scattering in all directions–with the Dark Lord’s minions in fevered pursuit.
