Summary: This book KICKED!
Review: Okay, okay. So maybe it's just a little fake for Thrawn to know all see all just through art forms, but HEIR rocked the house! C'Boath was this crazy loony guy. He was a little off-beat, buuuut, usually in Star Wars books there are some tendencies to float off into the oblivion. Mara Jade is now my hero just because she has spite!

Summary: The Best Star Wars Book
Review: This book is the best Star Wars book around. It has a detailed plot, great new characters(Mara Jade is espesially interesting), and it kept the flavor of the movies, which is something most of the other Star Wars books have failed to do. For a Star Wars fan this is a MUST READ!!!!!!

Summary: it'll do until Episode 1
Review: It's okay. Not the best book I've ever read, but probably the best Star Wars book there is, which, unfortunately, isn't really saying all that much. If there was one thing that really drove me insane about the book, though, it was the sloppy editing and reuse of phrases. If I ever hear the words "in a heartbeat" or any variation thereof again, someone's getting hurt.

Summary: The perfect start for a perfect trilogy.
Review: Timothy Zahn has proven that he can write like (George) Lucas by unleashing HEIR TO THE EMPIRE to the world. An ultimately excellent book, HEIR has captivated me by the opening scene, and by the time I finished, I was waiting for more. Letting loose Grand Admiral Thrawn, Talon Karrde, Mara Jade and all the others have been a really bright idea, and the emotional conflict between Luke and Mara has set me to read some more (even after finishing at least 10 chapters in a read). The idea of the Myrkr forest was fantastic, and Luke's irritating experience has set new heights here. The empire has really done its homework, having the best leader around, Thrawn, but the wimpy Pellaeon looks as if he were just a hyper-accelerated trainee who was just in nursery school. There is ONE problem, though, and that is C'Baoth. This maniac is an insane rip-off of Darth Vader, and his dialogues are amateuristic. All in all, it makes the best book in Bantam Spectra history, and, with the flavor and fit of the films, this is a must-read for all fans and readers alike.

Summary: Felt like the genuine article
Review: I liked it. Sure it was not Lucas. But I definitely could see future movies made out of the material. The old characters seemed the same although grown and the new characters were interesting. Zahn did an excellent job using obscure references (such as the clone wars) and expanding upon them as major plot lines. The space battle scenes were described in such a way that I had no problem imagining them and understanding the way spacecraft work in the Star Wars universe

Summary: Heir to a Legacy
Review: Timothy Zahn has been for many years a respected author in the science fiction genre. The Star Wars films have long been regarded as breakthroughs not only in science fiction, but in moviemaking itself. The combination of the two has made an entire trilogy of books, the incredible sequels to the original Star Wars Trilogy. The first book, Heir to the Empire, introduces the cunning Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has united the remnants of the Empire in order to destroy the fledgeling New Republic and re-instate the Empire as the ultimate rulers of the universe. With him, the dark Jedi Master Joruus C'baoth, dangerously mad and plotting to steal the unborn Jedi children of Han Solo and Princess Leia. Could this be a new reign of tyranny? Will the pitiful New Republic survive

Summary: I loved It!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Timothy Zahn is a great author. His extension of the Star Wars Universe is just what Lucas had envisioned when he first wrote it. His descriptions of characters we all knew and loved added new meaning to their overall definition of being

Summary: Great Trilogy!!!
Review: I started reading Star Wars books after I read this great trilogy. Now, I have read no book that can match these classics. These books should be the final 3 Star Wars movies

Summary: Wonderful trilogy to expand the Star Wars Universe.
Review: The trilogy written by Timothy Zahn gives new life to the Star Wars Universe. It keeps you wondering about the movements of the characters. The continuing lingering question of what is "Delta Source" is imaginitve. The only problem with the book is the abrupt ending the put to the series, I thought it should have gone on a little longer

Summary: Incredible!
Review: Heir to the Empire - this book started it all. Frankly, I was not
a Star Wars fan until I've read it. I watched movies now and
then, but nothing more than that. I've heard rumors that there is
a sequel, something about Jedi twins, but dismissed it as gossip.
Then, one day I saw it in the bookstore - so, it wasn't a rumor
after all. I bought it, went home and for a fews days the world
around me dimmed. I was in SW Universe, the one I've never see
before.
Timothy Zahn performed an incredible deed. He managed to create
even more bright characters and worthy opponents than original
movies did. One fan gave them short descriptions:
"Thrawn - he is totaly cool
Pellaeon - pride of the Military,
C'baoth - he kicks f**ing a**!
Talon Kardde - he's a man's man,
Mara - my love in another life,
Noghri - I like 'em"
