Synopsis:
Tash, Zak, and Uncle Hoole stop on the planet Ithor for
supplies, including a mineral the Shroud needs for its
engines. The mineral isn't available on Ithor, but one
of the Ithorians knows where they can find it--on a
mining colony in the middle of a space slug-filled
asteroid belt. The journey to the colony is filled with
many dangers. But nothing prepares Hoole, Tash, and Zak
for what they meet when they reach their destination. An
ancient life-form has been released from its tomb. It
has lurked there, waiting, for many years. It cannot be
seen. It is made from pure evil. And its name is Spore.

"The Arrandas and Hoole stop off on Ithor in order to repair and replenish their ship and discover a hidden secret.
Ithor is a great setting for this book and the links made in Spore's back story are imaginative and well-thought-out. We also get to see Whitman use another villain from the established EU (the previous book using
Thrawn) when Jerec turns up in an attempt to obtain Spore's allegiance. Similar EU links are made in the back story of Fandomar, the Ithorian guide, which just gives the story a nice, firm rooting in Star Wars; some of the books in this series have felt a little too generic at times.
The biggest problem I found with Spore was the pacing of the story. The first section, dealing with the discovery of Spore, took up a huge proportion of the book, whereas actually dealing with Spore itself was a relatively short section.
In spite of its sluggish pace, this story is quite entertaining."
