Summary: A credit to Star Wars!
Review: Heir to the Empire was a very good. However, I thought the writing was a little weak at times. I couldn't count how many times the characters "mentally crossed their fingers" and it was difficult to decide how much time had been taking place. Over all,though, there was an extremely good flow between the multiple plots going on.

Summary: This was a great book
Review: If you have always wondered what happened after the Return Of The Jedi,then you should read this book. After you get done with that book then you should read Dark Force Rising and The Last Command.

Summary: Masterpiece
Review: Even though this book was very long and at first I thought it was boring in the middle of the book I thought it was getting better and it was great.It leaves you in suspense so you should by the sequel.

Summary: characters are very real and the plot unfolds dramatically
Review: This is a wonderful addition to the legendary Star Wars trilogy. Mara Jade is without a doubt one of the best characters I've ever seen, and the whole thing with her, Luke, and the Emperor is great. I think one of the best things that could ever happen to them is for Luke and Mara to fall in love during a different trilogy. Karrde and Thrawn are completely alike, both calm and calculating, even during defeat. C'boath definately reminds me of Emperor Palpatine, and the fact that he's an insane clone just adds to the creepiness factor. If all the Star Wars books were written like this one, we wouldn't have paper and words anymore. We'd have a new religion. (P.S. - JEDI ROCK!!!!!

Summary: Zahn is a solid writer, but the story didn't seem to fit
Review: When I began reading Heir to the Empire, I thought it would be a good introduction to the critically acclaimed 'Zahn Trilogy' and it started off nice, with great character introductions, such as Grand Admiral Thrawn. But Paellon was a little sketchy, I thought. Zahn didn't do much with him, opting to concentrate on his short, pointless, and obvious reactions to Thrawn actions. I found my self thinking, ZAHN IS A SOLID WRITER, BUT THE STORY DIDN'T SEEM TO FIT. One excellent thing about the book was Thrawn. I thought he was a great villian because he wasn't stupid. He knew what he was doing and was always on the tail of Luke and his band of Rebels. I think I would read it again just because of great Thrawn written. I'm planning to get the next one within the week and check for a review. I gave it three stars because it didn't have a cliffhanger ending, something I both love and hate equally. But I love it enough to wish it had happened. Heir to the Empire is a good book with sold characters, and I suggest you read it. -Spence

Summary: A fine continuation of the Star Wars saga
Review: What enticed me to read Heir to the Empire were Usenet posters' comments that its antagonist, Grand Admiral Thrawn, is an example of a competent Evil Overlord. In this respect, Zahn delivers. Thrawn is at least as menacing as Vader, replacing Jedi powers with sheer cunning. As such, the largest problem I had with this novel is the amount of good fortune the good guys needed to escape Thrawn's clutches again and again.Mara Jade, another original character, also has much promise. I only hope Zahn develops Mara and Thrawn more in the second two books.

Summary: A book written with the Force!
Review: Not many books can be considered wothy of the title Star Wars. Timothy Zahn captures the essence of the great trilogy. Most novels written about the Star Wars theme loses the spirit of the characters. Zahn holds the personalities of the characters throughout the series. Keeping how we saw them for our first time. I can't praise enough of Zahn's work on this trilogy of his own! Star Wars has been picked about with absurd changes, and ridiculous resurrections. Zahn keeps it simple, leaving the spirits of the characters in our minds, while throwing them into conflicts that add to them, not destroy who they are to us. May the force be with Timothy Zahn.

Summary: A good book to start a series
Review: Ifound GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN to be very convining admiral of a imperial fleet, that's trying to take revenge on the NEW REPUBLIC. HIS tactic's are kept to himself as to his aproach to defeating his opponent, until it is necessary to explain himself to CAPTAIN PELLAEON. As for CAPTAIN PELLAEON i found his position to be intersting in trying to understand his admiral's tactic's in subverting the republic. Luke seems to be more mature and wiser in his dealing with other people in the story. Han and Leia have a good part in the story in that they have individual stories in the latter part in the book. I found TALON KARRDE to be a good indiction to the STAR WAR'S story and MARA JADE to be a little annoying about having lost her evil emperor and not having found luke all those year's. At times the story get's kind of slow in different areas of the book but overall it's a good start in a three book series.
