Star Wars: Dark Force Rising

Rating:
Summary: Dark Force Rising. The Star Wars saga continues
Review: When started to read I hoped that it would be as the films. I didn't get disaponted! It could be like one in the trilogy, and it would be a very good movie. I really recomend you to buy it, if you like Star Wars, you'll like it.

Summary: the worst star wars book
Review: forget what everyone says , Zahn's trilogy sucks. and this is the worst one. NOTHING important happens in this book. An like Hier , Thrawn is everywhere at the right time. He wastes so much time bullying the Noghris and smugglers , despite the fact that he is the leader of the Empire (which apparently consist's of Thrawns five star destroyers) Mara Jade is obnoxious and sarcastic all the time , totally unlike Liea's "tough" exterior seen in the movies. Karrde is an ******* who wants to take like thrawn. How many times does Zahn say "cock an eyebrow" "eyes twitch" , "agreed" "point" and all that stuff that doesnt sound att all like the movie charecters. I wanted to see huge Imperial fleets winning back sectors instead of planets , stuff like that , as it is , it's an empty , boring , unrealistic book written by an author how got so much credit simply for writing the first official star wars "sequel".sad.

Summary: A masterpiece, the only thing Zahn lacks is a Newberry
Review: This book is a wonderful continuation of the Star Wars we've all grown to love. This book continues Zahn's three book cycle, and in no way is it one of those stories that discredits the talent Star Wars has for bringing a smile to your face, and a tear to your eye. A great puzzle of emotions, characters, and challenges that in the end comes together in a picture that even George Lucas himself would be honored to add to the mural that he has so finely painted.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: This trilogy is the only thing that kept me sane after Children of the Jedi. I must admit, the only thing in all SW better is the X-Wings. Mara, Thrawn and C'baoth are all really cool. The end battle is really something.

Rating:
Summary: Okay.
Review: Although good, and one of the first ever to be written, Dark Force Rising lacks realism. Timothy Zahn, I have found tends to make all of the main characters look wussie. A real imperial commander (not wimpo Thrawn) wouldn't have put up with C'Baoth at all, but shot him at the first disobeying of his orders. Like I said, lacks realism.

Rating:
Summary: This is an excellent example of Zahns genius writing ability
Review: This series written by Zahn is by far the best Star wars series to date.It should be immortalized !!!!!!!!!!!

Rating:
Summary: Lots of plots, action, very interesting
Review: Dark Force Rising, is an interesting novel with many plots.In one scence the rebellion finds out that Karde(smuggler) knows the location of the Dark force, 200 Dreadnaughts, (old but heavily armored, and verpowerful weapons-wise).However one of Kardes associates was with Karde when he didcovered the Dark Force has fled to sell the information on where the Dark Force is. Now it becomes a race between the Empire and the Rebellion to recover the 200 Draednaughts. In another scene C'baoth the dark Jedi Master (he's a clone) attempts to turn Loke Skywalker to the dark side. He plans to make a small army of Dark Jedi's tat consist of Mara-Jade, Luke,Leia, and her twins.Luke is almost turned to the Dark Side by Mater Jorus C'baoth (he uses a mind control trick).However C'baoth fails to do so after Mara-Jade interveins.This and more is some of the thigs thet happens inthis great book. Iwould of give this book 5 Stars but the Last Command is the best of the trilogy, Because is has a great ending for Admiral Thrawn and turn of eventts btween Master C'baoth and his victems. Grand Admiral Thrawn is one of the most ingenious enemies in the Star Wars universe. If you thought the Rebellion had an easy path or a mopping up job after defaeting the emperor you thought wrong.

Rating:
Summary: A great action book that continues the Star Wars tales!
Review: This is the second of the three book series. It is a great book that continues to tell about Grand Admiral Thrawn and his campaign to stop the New Rebublic. It has an interesting group of characters from the Noghri to Thrawn himself. The best Star Wars author has done it again!
