Summary: Am I the only one who thought this book was awful?
Review: After reading everybody's glowing reviews, I tried this book. It was possibly one of the worst reading experiences of my life. Zahn is now on my list of authors who need their knuckles broken so that they won't write again! His prose is so overwritten, the man doesn't know what "said" is used for, and can't leave any noun or verb unmodified. It's TEDIOUS! Also, does every character need sixteen different names all to be used in the same scene? It felt like he was playing a game of, "Look how grown-up I can sound! Look how many words I know!" In one scene, Luke and Artoo are the only characters in it for five pages. In the middle of the scene, Zahn writes, "It's okay, Artoo," the Jedi Knight reassured the droid. Well, DUH, Tim, do you think we're stupid enough to not know who is talking and that Luke is a Jedi Knight and that Artoo is a droid? Give us a little credit for intelligence why don't you?

Summary: Timothy Zahn is as close to S.W. as you get without Lucas.
Review: I feel that if you have seen the movies and can't wait for the next Trilogy then you have to revert to reading some books. Well these are about as close as you are going to get to the original characters and action without actually watching the movies. Good story, clever settings. The only complaint would have to be the ending, but it's still ok.

Summary: One of the best sci-fi book I have ever read.
Review: This book is about the Empires return to challenge the Rebellion with the threat of a Grand Admiral hand picked by the Emporer. The Grand Admiral brings the rebellion to its knees. A briliantly written book that keeps you on the edge of your seat at every turn. One of the most exciting Star Wars books ever written. In short it is a story to be counted among the best.

Summary: Great!
Review: This (and the rest of the trilogy) is one of my favorite books! It's not perfect. I don't think anyone is out of character. Luke has matured in the years since the movies. In fact, sometimes I like Zahn's version of Luke better than the original!

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK
Review: This os really a great book especially for all true STAR WARS fans, such as myself. This book gives you information on some of the movie charachters that you'd only know by reading this book. This book got me hooked. I loved this book so much it it was the first in a collection of over 40 STAR WARS books that I have now. My favorite charachters in this book are Grand Admiral Thrawn, for his incredible military genius and his devistating attacks on the New Republic. I also like the Noghri death commandos for there deadly fighting style making these 1.3 meter tall aliens one of the most deadly races in the galaxy. I highly recommend this book and the ones that follow. Also I urge any one who has any intrest what so ever in STAR WARS to get your hands on any and every book pretaning to the subject.

Summary: "Heir to the Empire" is a worthy heir to Star Wars!
Review: "Heir to the Empire" is my favorite Star Wars novel. If you loved the movies, you have to read this book. It's very well written. I liked the way that Zahn took minor characters from the films and focused on them more. Now Admiral Ackbar is one of my favorite Rebels! The new characters of Mara Jade and Grand Admiral Thrawn are great, and soon you'll be able to buy them as action figures from Kenner!

Summary: It was an awesome book! They should make a movie of it.
Review: It was a nice book. I think that they should make a movie of it. I didn't think it would be that good at first but then I started to read it and it was exciting. I have a friend that thinks they should make it a movie too. He finished it before I did so he told me what happened. It would have been even more exciting if I wouldn't have known the turn-out. If you haven't read it yet, READ IT NOW!
