Rating: Summary: If you haven't read this trilogy, you're a fool. Review: Timothy Zahn has proven himself to be the best Star Wars novelist since Lucas himself with this series. He is a masterful author, or he is with this group, at least. His writing is of the style that feeds your imagination just what it needs to produce a complete image of what's going on at all times, but not so much as to take the fun out of imagining. The storyline in this trilogy fits perfectly into the Star Wars universe. If you're a Star Wars fan and you haven't read these (or any novels) then you're just not a fan. If you've read novels but skipped this, then you're a fool!
Rating: Summary: A good read, as well as a "antique" of the Expanded Universe Review: An exellent read, despite a clone heavy plot. Zahn's solution to Mara's problem is quite clever indeed, and the Noghri are an interesting species indeed. (One misused in my opinion by Salvatore) The good guys succede, Leia has her children. Bravo, and what an Encore that has followed:).
Rating: Summary: Thrawn trilogy Review: Outstanding, I am a new fan of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars saga and I am now hooked. The story line was easy to listen to and its characters very consistent with that of George Lucas editions. The plot was innovative and left you in suspense. I encourage any new fan to hear this and follow this trilogy with the audio book edition of The Hand of thrawn (2 Volumes). These include Spectre of the Past and Vision of the Future. The audio edition is very descriptive and takes your imagination through the force and within the battle itself, with sounds of special effects and alien life forms.Once you start to hear the story unravel you are hooked and yearning for more, it is an addictive story and a must read for star wars fan old and new. Good luck and may the force be with you,,,,,,,,,,,,
Rating: Summary: Thrawn Trilogy Review: As I read the thrawn trilogy I found myself unable to put the book down. The story line followed a very good plot and the characters were very well depicted. The reader will find themselves yearning for more and satisfied with its end. Timothy Zahn was able to show a very good continuation after the fall of the empire with credible vilians that survive the rebellion of the New Republic. I recommend this highly...
Rating: Summary: From a tiny outpost on the rim... Review: This was the best "Star Wars" book, which capped off the best "Star Wars" trilogy ever written. Timothy Zahn is the best "Star Wars" author. I can't wait to see the movies based on the "Heir to the Empire" trilogy! If you like Star Wars... this is a must read!
Rating: Summary: POWERFUL! Review: I knew Zahn's trilogy would be good when I started reading it. I enjoyed the first two books, but found them not to be all that I'd hoped. If you felt the same, fear not. This final chapter ties all of that detail from the first to novels and explodes it into a giant climax and many great events. The ending to this trilogy is incredible. Zahn is truly a master at writing.
Rating: Summary: Great ending to a Great Trilogy Review: The Last Command is by far the best of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars trilogy, and the best of all Star Wars books. As I read this, I could so easily picture this book as if it were another Episode in the Star Wars movies, and could almost hear the unforgettable music from Star Wars. Unlike other Star Wars books, the plot is nice and simple; good vs. evil, exactly like the movies. What drew me to the Star Wars movies was the mythological aspect, and The Last Command conveys this almost better than the movies.
Rating: Summary: Finally, You Care About Zhan's Characters. A Good Finish! Review: The Last Command was a good read. After going through all the highs and lows of this trilogy, the ending was written in classic Star Wars fashion. Grande Admiral Thrawn who I didn't think too fondly of in this last novel (I found he was using his hunches too much and found it getting silly, as opposed to earlier novels where he had a reason to be so calculating, like artwork examination or personality traits) had a great scene in the end of the novel. I loved it and it made the novel for me. Overall after reading this concluding chapter in Zhan's trilogy I've found I really love the new characters. Previously I couldn't have cared less about Mara Jade, et al. but Zhan finally does it in this one. The characters are great. I now feel sad about reaching the end and will have to find out what other novels are out there that use these new characters.
Rating: Summary: Zahn: Greatest Star Wars Author Review: This book is quite possibly the best book ever written. It concludes the trilogy in true Star Wars fashion. I couldn't put the book down, it is fast-paced and non-stop. A great book. If you feel that some questions are left unanswered (Luke and Mara, what Fey'la is so concerned with the New Republic finding) then read Zahn's "Spector of the Past" and "Vision of the Future" They will answer any questions you have. All in all, Zahn is the greatest Star Wars author ever.
Rating: Summary: Greatest book! Review: I have read over 30 STAR WARS books, and Zahn is the best! This is my favorite book except for Visions of the Future!
