Summary: Great start to the post-ROTJ novels...
Review: Zahn's treatment of the main characters doesn't agree 100% with the movies, except that when extrapolated from the time of the Battle of Endor, the characterizations make sense. Luke seems more cerebral, as a last-of-his-kind Jedi would likely be. Han and Leia are similarly extrapolated, although I'm not as fond of Han. The story is kind of slow at times and Thrawn's ability to determine strategies based on race seems far-fetched. However, looking past that, this is a very good start to the afterlife for the SW universe.

Summary: Required reading for true Star Wars fans
Review: Zahn is a master at how he weaves wonderful new experiences into the lives of the characters that we know and love. The trilogy that this book is part of is a sci-fi masterpiece and serves as a great example of how Star Wars novels should be written! Bravo! Grand Admiral Thrawn is a great nemesis who breathes new life into an empire that is nearly dead. A great story!

Summary: Zahn's a good author, but this is Sacrilege
Review: Let's get something straight: George Lucas authored Star Wars. All of it. He's the man who controls the Universe, and in my mind the man who will always control the Universe. Please don't take this the wrong way, Zahn is a good author, possibly a great author. If you want a good sci-fi book, read his Conqueror's series, not this or any other star wars book. As for why this book is not star wars... well in a word Thrawn. Come on, a brilliant general who can deduce a race's defense system by looking at one of their paintings? And he's got blue skin? This is not some cheezy Star Trek novel, it's Star Wars, damnit, and it should be treated as such.

Summary: A very unrealistic book
Review: While the Zahn trilogy opened the way for all the star wars craze , I was shocked as to how highly people praised this book. My cheif complaint is one that has been noted , quite effectively , on this site. Zahn is a very illogical person. The fact that he treats a whole planet as a small town is ridicoulous. Han immediatly spotting one of Fey'lia's aids on the first planet he visits is unrealistic to say the least. Another complaint is that the best military commanders of all time always draw on facts , data , and analyze a situation using that material , but Zahn , unfortunately has Thrawn making wild guesses and states he is a genius , but a better term would be lucky. this is understandable , since Zahn is only a writer , not a general or strategist , but he should still be critisized. In my opinion one of the worst Star Wars series of books. Dave Wolverton , and his more realistic aproach in storytelling in The Courtship of Princess Liea , is much more suited to that galaxy far , far away...

Review: Mr. Timothy Zahn is got to be the best writer of Star Wars followed secondly by Mr. Michael Stakpole. This was the first of five of the best books I have ever had the pleasure or reading in my life. Mara Jade and luke and Thrawn are the best...! Keep it coming...

Review: Timothy Zahn is a great Star Wars author, Grand Admeral Thrawn is THE best villain ever, Mara is a great character and Luke very well written. I am 13 and have read all the SW books I can get my hands on, if you are going to read one series this year make it the Empire Trilogy by Timothy Zahn!!

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST EVER!!!
Review: Having already read the hand of thrawn, this explained a lot of those two books to me. This book contains the greatest warlord ever, GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN. He's my favorite character from the books nest to Rogue 9, Corran Horn. This book is perfect for anyone, even if you didn't particularly enjoy the movies. This book and the rest of the SW books Zahn has written will make you want to keep on reading.
