By the same guy who wrote the Rogue Squadron X-wing novels, Michael A. Stackpole. It's a first person novel about Corran Horn. It is a surprisingly addictive read. About his journey, finding out about his father, learning his powers in the force and rescuing his wife, Mirax. It's sci-fi, adventure, and love story. I don't know about anybody else but I got the impression that Mirax's father wasn't oh so impressed on finding out he had a son in-law. Nor was he that impressed to find his son in law had lost his daughter... already!!!

Other female characters in this include the heda of the invid who seems a very strong and quite a dark character, also seen as
