Summary: GRAPHIC NOVEL ADAPTATION OF TIMOTHY ZAHN'S BESTSELLER!
Review: Five years after Return of the Jedi, Leia and Han are married and have shouldered heavy burdens in the government of the New Republic. Luke Skywalker is the first in a hoped-for new line of Jedi Knights. But the last of the Emperor's warlords, Grand Admiral Thrawn, has made two vital discoveries that could destroy the New Republic - two discoveries whose names both end in Solo! This graphic novel adapts Timothy Zahn's best-selling novel, Star Wars: Heir to the Empire, to comic-book format.

Summary: Good try, I guess
Review: The idea was there, but the plot was slow moving, and a little boring. The new characters, especially Pellaeon and Mara Jade are pretty cool, but the Bothan and Thrawn are kind of annoying.

Summary: The BEST Star Wars book ever!!!
Review: This was the first long Star Wars book I have ever read and I couldn't put it down. I read this book in two days. The Noghri were cool! Heir to the Empire had a fast paced plot that was exciting to read. Timothy Zahn is the Master of Star Wars books!!

Summary: A "How Not To Write Sci-Fi" manual. "E" for "Effort"
Review: I have never in my life read a more convuluted piece of work. As much as it pains me to (simply because I truly cannot keep them out of mind when referencing this book) I will dispense with the colorful metaphors and get to the professional critique.Why Geo. Lucas ever let this man finish the Star Wars story is beyond my capacity for understanding. Any good Sci-Fi writer knows fundamentally that in the genre of Sci-Fi, one must be careful to hold the reader in the state of "Willing Disbelief." Mr. Zahn seems to have forgotten this vein and taken advantage of the fact that he has a writing award or two and the audience's attention--by following up on the best series of Sci-Fi movies in recent memory--and taken quite a bit of "literary" license with this story. A great deal of the content of this book is very thin in that there are many developments that are far too difficult to simply believe, even if they are in the context of the Star Wars universe. Although it lacks the eloquence that it may deserve (okay, then again, maybe not), my brief description of this book is "trite, unsophisticated and unpalpable;" in a word, "tripe." My question to Mr. Zahn is: "Do you really expect me to swallow this plot and it's not too subtle twists just because it's Star Wars?" I think that Mr. Zahn wrote this book for Glory and Green, and for himself, not for the readers.

Summary: I don't see the big deal about Tomothy Zahn!!!!
Review: Zahn is VERY unrealistic! The Grand Admiral is supposed to be so smart that he can figure anything out, even when there is not enough info to come to his conclusions! Many of the Grand Admirals conclusions are IMPOSSIBLE. They are more like guesses, but Zahn just writes it off to the Admiral being a genius. Zahn should take a few classes in Logic and Philosophy.

Summary: Great Book! Zahn really got me with this one
Review: Timothy Zahn really outdid himself with this book. It's great to read, and I couldn't put it down. There are a few points though - I would have like to have known WHAT happened to the Grand Admiral, who were apparently just 'dealt with'. And sometimes it kept you in suspense for too long. I recommend reading it though, and I have to go and read part 2!

Summary: Wonderful
Review: A great book for Star Wars fans. I couldn't put it down. Zhan, along with Stackpole and Crispin, should be writing all the SW books. Deep characters, interesting plot twists, and well-conceived worlds (Unlike those of, say, Kevin J. Anderson). An all-around superb effort.

Summary: This trilogy is awesome whether you love Star Wars or not.
Review: This trilogy was phenomanal. They are the first trilogy of books written after the movie. The antagonist is Grand Admiral Thrawn, a tactical genious and Joruus C'boath a clone of a jedi master with the master's powers. The new protagonist is Mara Jade who originally wants to kill Luke in the end they become friends. After reading these books I got really hooked on Star Wars and now I read all of them. You kind of have to have seen the movies to understand these books.

Summary: A Master Storyteller
Review: Zahn expands on the Star Wars universe in a marvelous way. Heir to the Empire contains new worlds and a multitude of new characters worthy of the original trilogy. This book has more information than could possibly be put in a two hour movie. A master storyteller, Timothy Zahn uses so much detail you can almost see and hear the story.
