Summary: Very good plot
Review: This is the first Star Wars book that I read. I chose it because it's the first written after the SW movies (I guess) and I think everyone who's looking for a SW book to read should begin by this one. The plot is very concise, nothing happens without an explanation. English is not my native language, so I didn't care too much about the words or expressions the author used. Some readers complained about that, but for me the more important is that it was a very good story that kept me insterested from the first to the last sentence.

Summary: This was a wonderful book!
Review: I stumbled over this book in a bookstore after I was looking for another Star Wars book, and I decided to buy it. I read it, and I immediately went out and bought the other two books. I couldn't wait to find out about what would happen, and all of the other Star Wars books I have read just don't compare. Zahn is truely the master of the Star Wars Universe.

Summary: I couldn't put the book down
Review: It was exciting. It was fun to read. There's no boring parts, and its a great read for ages 11 and up, with a good vocabulary. If you didn't know there was going to be books after it, it was hard to tell how the book would turn out. Over all it was a great book!

Summary: It was awsome!
Review: This was the first Star Wars book I read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have read several others and have found that this one and the two to follow are still my favorites.

Summary: Actually...
Review: 1) the language is'nt sophisticated , it's just unrealistic.(i.e bad charectarization)2)Zahn DID imply that most of the Empire's officers died at Endor , espically aboard the Executor. That must be an awfully small "Empire". 3)Thrawn attacked about five planets , and a few shipyards. Remember that the New Republic is a GALACTIC republic. 4)Zhan was implying that the Grand Admirals were "dealt with". It would,ve been kinda nice if as in when and how. 5)everybody knows what cocking and eybrow means , that just doesnt give you an excuse to use five times in every page( other Zhan-isque language , "agreed" , and "point" , point.. point.. point. I felt like I was reading bout a soccer game!) 6)no , im afraid that zhan was'nt the best star wars author. he was only the first (after Dailey and Smith). and when his books came out we haad little to compare it with

Review: 1) Zahn implied that most of the Empire's competent officers died at endor , which is unrealistc. 2)the language is,nt sophisticated , it's unrealistic. (i.e charecterization is bad) 3)winning a few planets and blockading a few others should'nt really hurt a GALACTIC republic *that* much. 4) the Imperial fleet , as portrayed by Zahn , is pathetic. all I've seen was Thrawn's five Imperial Star Destroyer. 5)by accounting , zahn means that the republic elimanated the other Grand Admirals. It would be nic if there was some clarification as to HOW. 6)yes , everyone knows what cocking an eybrow means , but does that mean you can repeat it five times a page? 7)no , Im afraid that Zahn isnt the best star wars author. as proof read (at your own precaution) Specter to the past.

Summary: Zahn Rules!!
Review: This book was TERRIFIC! It was the first Star Wars book I read and I immediately loved it. After reading some of the other Star Wars books out there, that opinion increased even more. To "a reader from USA"'s comment about sofisticated language: These are imperial commanders and people extrodinaraly high up in whatever command structure they are concerned with. What did you expect someone like Grand Admiral Thrawn to say? Dude, I'm like totally with you and yeah, definately?! Anyway, this was a wonderful book and anyone that hasn't read it yet really REALLY should.
Rating:
Summary: GREAT!
Review: Clearly one of the best and well thought out "Star Wars" books ever. Zahn introduced Mara, which gave everyone a change of pace. If you read "Star Wars" books after this, aren't they imitating Zahn just a bit?

Summary: I have read all the novels and this was by far the best!
Review: Grand Admiral Thrawn, a millitary genius and the only non-human Admiral in the Empire, emerges to be the greatest threat to The New Republic Ever. When he enlists the help of a Dark Jedi, he sends missions to capture Leia and her unborn twins as payment. I give this 10 of 5 Stars and four thumbs up.

Summary: A great read!
Review: To disspell some myths about this book: 1) If the sophisticated language is to much for you, well then that says something about you... 2) Every Imperial officer did not die at Endor, Thrawn and Pellaeon to name a few. 3) Thrawn did almost beat the Rebellion, thats why he was a Grand Admiral 4) They can "account" for the other 12 Grand Admirals by simply checking the Coruscant central computer 5) Cocking an eyebrow is giving someone a dirty look, or looking like you are in intense thought. 6) Zahn is the best author of any of the Star Wars novels.
