Star Wars - The Rise And Fall Of The Galactic Empire by Dr Chris Kempshall:
A Scouse husband from Liverpool now living life in the Devon Countryside with my family. Writing, caring for my wife, home educating and generally being a legend. Scribbling about music, art, life and geeky stuff. Often to be found drinking tea, quizzing on the local radio and having light sabre fights with the family.
