Beautifully written, Zahn has taken the seeds of what George Lucas created in A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi and turned it into a masterpiece of science fiction. Cracking read!
RRP: £6.99
Zahn has recreated the Star Wars universe in his own image

Timothy Zahn has created one of the greatest characters in the entire legend in Grand Admiral Thrawn. His manipulation of events and people throughout the book really brings home just how totally fluky the New Republic (nee Rebel Alliance) is.

Greatest SW novel ever

All I can say is wow. I am a writer (ametuer) and his style is amazing. A cold and calculating villian, Thrawn, is the best leader for the empire. He doesn't like to waste his men the way Vader could, he is better than any villian I've ever seen.
It was really true to the original trilogy.

It was way cool ! The way Thrawn was potrayed was really interesting. He also had a certain likeness to Darth Maul. Pallenon was classic, and Luke was really interesting. C'Baoth was really twisted but he turned out okay. And the Noghri were really interesting along with Mara Jade and Talon Karrade. I was really fascinated by Thrawn's intuition, and stabibility. Timithoy Zahns Trilogy fits perfectly with the Star Wars Galaxy.
Excellent, a must reader!

This is probably the best sci-fi book I've ever read. And beleive me, I'm not a Star Wars fanatic. I often felt like I was actually there during the story! That shows how excellent of an author Timothy Zahn is. I think this is a definent must reader! Hope you enjoy it!
DISAPPOINTING! DOES NOT LIVE TO THE TRILOGY!

I appreciated the book because of the familiar characters, but that was not enough to cover up for all the other shortcomings. The characters seemed to have lost their aura. Even Han Solo seemed to be uptight & not as funny as he used to be. The author tried to cover so many territories that a lot of loopholes were left open. For instace, he either forgot or deliberately did not include what happened to C'Baoth after being brought to Jomark. He dwelt about the cloned Jedi master but dwindled afterwards. What about the Noghris? Will they side finally with Leia? What about Mara? Has the narrow escape made her change her mind against her plot against Luke? I think, he should have covered all this & saw it to the end, isntead of making the story long but hanging.
