Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (Dark Horse Collection.)

Rating:
Summary: The BEST Star Wars book!
Review: As the whopping 150th reviewer of Timothy Zahn's first installment in this trilogy, I suppose my word doesn't count for much. Regardless, I believe this trilogy, which essentially rekindled the Star Wars interest in 1991 which we all know has grown into a monolith juggernaut, is the ONLY good Star Wars literature of the revival period (1991-now). The characters are the best to come along: Admiral Thrawn, Mara Jade, Joruus C'Baoth, Talon Kaard. After this trilogy, the SW novels spiraled downward as every loser who walks by the camera in every SW movie has been the star of three volumes of mediochre literature. If you are looking for new SW adventures, "Heir to the Empire" and the two sequels are the best way to go. Already vintage Star Wars!

Summary: Best of the Best
Review: Heir to the Empire is a masterpiece. Never have I picked up a book which kept me so riveted. A quality of this book which makes it so good is that I'm never quite sure who will prevail. When the New Republic face Ysanne Isard, Admiral Daala, the reborn Emperor, or Warlord Zsinj, I never have any doubts that the Empire is going to lose. Then I read about Grand Admiral Thrawn. The guy is amazing. He has everyone figured out and the Rebels are running around in circles. C'baoth is a perfect balance to Thrawn's style. One is so refined and so calm, the other is a raging lunatic with a very strange way of seeing things. Talon Karrde and Mara Jade are great, too. Talk about smugglers with depth. The battle of Sluis Van gives the Rebels a victory, but for how long. Thrawn will return!

Summary: True to the Star Wars name!
Review: This adaption of Tim Zahn's book helps the reader to envision what Zahn was thinking when he wrote Heir to the Empire. The character of Grand Admiral Thrawn is the best--no one can surpass his military genius. Make sure to read the other two volumes: Dark Force Rising and The Lsat Command.

Summary: PRETTY GOOD
Review: When I read this book I felt, that I need more (thanx god that there is a sequel :)). This book is just fantastic. It has great story and two new characters. Grand admiral Thrawn and Dark Jedi C'Baoth. Both are put very good in the story. I have never asked myself why are they here, how did they get here, ... without expecting an answer. And I got it. There's only one thing that I don't like too much: Grand admiral Thrawn is darn smart. I have no clue, how he guesses all these things. But probably that's just one of his secret things. Maybe this will be explained in the sequel I'm just reading. Otherwise there is no other thing that i would find wrong. Or maybe just a little too much pushing with Leia fighting (damn, she is pregnant). If you haven't read this book ... read it ... and enjoy it.

Summary: WORTHY OF THE TITLE OF STAR WARS
Review: This was thy book that can get you hooked into the star wars universe. I could not put the book down. It kept me on the edge of my seat and has a excellent plot. The new characters and the great battle sequence makes this book a classic. I also loved to hate the evil grand admiral thrawn.

Rating:
Summary: Timothy Zahn makes reading worth while.
Review: Timothy expands upon the original Star Wars universe in a way that no one else could copy. He tells not only of one alliance, but of the others, too, even the smugglers. He writes the book as if you are a silent viewer and makes you feel like your actually there. I reccomend this book to anyone who has a fascination with reading.
