Movie Target is one of three short young-reader novels published in 2015 before the release of the movie The Force Awakens, that centers on the main characters from the original trilogy. This, of course, is the Leia-centric novel. The prologue and epilogue are set sometime before the events of The Force Awakens and have tie-ins to that movie (we find out Leia is a general in the Resistance, fighting the First Order). The book starts with Leia dictating her memoirs and then flashes back to a mission she took part in, set between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. She is torn between wanting to help Han and being patient while Luke gets intel on what Jabba has done with Han and continuing to help the Rebels. Luke makes what amounts to a cameo appearance in the story and we get some insight into how his and Leia's relationship was changing after the events of Empire.
The hardcover version of the book is just over 200 pages long. I will not give away the main story of the novel, but it basically is set around the intel the Rebels received about the second Death Star being built around Endor and Leia's participation in the plan to keep the Empire occupied while the Rebels planned the assault on the station. Even though it falls into the young reader's category of novels, it is good enough that adults can easily enjoy it. I definitely recommend it.
