Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Extensively Overwhelming Conclusion is a Hit
Review: This book is simply a masterpiece, although, if you read it directly after HEIR, you might notice that HEIR is more likeable in a way that it is more like the movie trilogy. Zahn has marvelously captured the flavor of STAR WARS, although a slot weaker than HEIR in some aspects. ZAHN'S TRILOGY RULES!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The author of this book knew what he was doing.
Review: So many times you'll find a book about a certain series and it just doesn't fit with what everyone else wrote.Not this one. It fits perfectly with everything that had been writen before it.He explains everything very well and puts it all together with great style. He spends enough time with each of the characters so you know what's going on but not to much so you know exactly what's going to happen.The climax at the end of it was truly worth the Star Wars name. Well done Mr. Zahn!! My favorite part of the book was the last chapter although I think he should have gone a little farther

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A true masterpiece, a tragedy worthy of Shakespeare.
Review: Timothy Zahn brings the readers almost to tears as the great Grand Admiral quotes: "But, it was so artistically done." Those loyal Imperials out there are truly saddened, as if it actually happened, as if Star Wars was real. That's what Zahn does: he brings the mythos to life. I salute Zahn, and I salute the greatest character ever created in Star Wars, save the Emperor, Thrawn: May you rest in peace, sir

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A "Forceful" book!
Review: You can picture everything that happens in this book.It has all of your favorite characters plus more. This is a great addition to the Star Wars adventures

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AMAZING AND GRIPPING!!!
Review: There is No better SW book than this! I have never ever felt so inspired by a book that can actually create a much more interesting and inventive atmosphere using the known characters, machinery, fighters and aliens than I ever believed!!! THIS SHOULD BE A PRIME EXAMPLE TO ANYONE WISHING TO WRITE A SEQUEL TO ANY BOOK!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Beginning
Review: Timothy Zahn has, with this series, inspired a flood of Star Wars books that we enjoy today. Never before have I been so entranced by a Star Wars novel, and I hape to read more about Our dear friend Admiral Thrawn. After all, there's allways the Hand

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book I have ever read!!!
Review: If you only read one book in your life, this should be it. Zahn's characterization of Luke, Han, Leia, etc. is great. The book is action packed from cover to cover, and concludes his Star Wars book trilogy in epic fashion. Zahn provides the New Republic (formerly the Rebellion) with a stern challenge in the form of Grand Admiral Thrawn, a military genius, and Joruus C'baoth, an insane Jedi Master. There are several interesting sub-plots in this book and in Zahn's trilogy, these contribute greatly to the overall plot of the story. I didn't think a book, could match the magic of the Star Wars movies, I was wrong

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Last Clash Between Grand Admiral Thrawn And The New Republic
Review: After reading the other novles in this trilogy, I was pleased to find many exciting plot twists and daring new adventures in this, the final book in Timothy Zahns Block- buster saga. If you have read the other books you will not be disipointed. Zahns smooth discriptions and great ability to mimic the personalities of the famed Star Wars caracters make this book one of the all time great Science Fiction showdowns. The action is so intense, the drama so tight, that you will swear that you can hear the John Williams score in the background. This book, and the other two in the trilogy, are a great way to sastisfy yours, [ or someone elses ] craving to experiance new adventures in the Star Wars Univers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the series that revived the Star Wars empire [no spoilers]
Review: "The Last Command" is the third and final novel in The Thrawn Trilogy approximately five years following "Return of the Jedi". The originality and creativity in the series is deep, filled with strange creatures and compelling heroes and villains.

Grand Admiral Thrawn is an ingenious, calculating and efficient villain, someone the New Republic should fear. The creative ways he uses items at his disposal are amazing. Although he is with the Empire, his charisma and composure has me cheering to succeed whenever engaged in combat. Conversely, the spontaneous ravings of insane Jedi Master Joruus C'baoth form a scary image compared with the serene Emperor. Smuggler Talon Karrde reminds me of a pre-Rebellion Han Solo but with a Jabba the Hutt sphere of influence. While Star Wars hasn't been overly political, politics play a minor part in the developments and brings more depth to an otherwise action oriented plot.

Action fills the concluding novel, with surprises and well-timed heroics. I highly recommend this series above all others to any fan of the Star Wars universe.

Thank you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Zahn is brilliant, but I just didn't like that much.
Review: Timothy Zahn is one of my favorite writers, and this is the only Star Wars related material I've ever read. I really liked how he used the characters and made them seem like they were carrying on right after the old movies.

But the ending seemed kind of well, boring. If you haven't read it I'm not necessarily going to give it away but It was just anti-climatic. Also, why is Mara Jade learns and grows just as much in the force as Luke does in 4 days in the jungle as Luke does throughout his whole life. The clone thing at the end was kind of dumb, but overall it was a good book and a good triology. The only Star Wars material I'm ever going to read.
