Summary: Much better than I expected
Review: this book surprised me-it was very good! There was plenty of action and intrigue, in an interesting and believable SF environment. The only thing I didn't like about it was the lack of maps and a glossary

Summary: The Conquerors are here...
Review: This is an excellent beginning to one of the best trilogies that I have ever read. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down !! I think the best thing with this book (and its sequels) is that the whole universe is so believable. It really makes you think that it could happen. I really like that in a science fiction book. Well worth reading, the only downside is that you then have to buy the rest of the trilogy.. *grin*

Summary: pretty good
Review: This was a pretty good book, but I didn't enjoy it as much as Zahn's Star Wars books because everything was unfamiliar and the writing style was a little different.

Summary: Deep Space Adventure/Mystery with a First Contact Twist
Review: Timothy Zahn endeavors to create a galazy popoulated by humans and non-humans in an uneasy alliance, jointly threatened by a malevolent(?) race , "the conquerors." Book 1 of 3 sets the stage and starts the search for hidden truths. Zahn shows some excellent imagination in this escape from the "Star Wars" universe.

Summary: This book was an exciting, edge-of-your seat, great read.
Review: Timothy Zahn has once again proven himself and written YET another great science-fiction novel. I loved this book so much that I just couldn't put it down, and I hope to get a chance to read the other books in this series. Anyone who has the chance to read this, for heaven's sake, READ it! You won't regret it.

Summary: One of the Most Riveting Space Dramas I've Ever Read.
Review: Timothy Zahn is an excellent writer. There's no other way to put it. Zahn has a way of weaving characters and events together in his storyweb that places the writer, not just in the action, but in the characters themselves. You empathize and sympathize with the key players in his drama, and understand the strange and alien cultures of the Zirrh, in a way that few writers can accomplish. This entire series is an excellent choice for science fiction readers, but would also captivate lovers of other genres as well. This author has shown himself to be among the best, and the Conqueror's series is among the best of his works. Look out Asimov, watch out Clarke - there's a new kid in town.

Summary: Timothy Zahn is a great author by himself.
Review: Timothy Zahn is best when using his own ideas, settings, characters and plots. He can make them say and do anything he wants without worrying about limites placed on the work by others. For example, when making Star Wars books, I doubt he would be allowed to make Luke do just anything. But, like most authors, when doing his 'own thing' he is brilliant. Best use of the dead, ever!

Summary: Very Entertaining
Review: With the first book of the Conqueror's trilogy, Zahn sets the mood for a gripping and exciting saga. When a fleet of human ships encounters a previously unknown species, they transmit a standard 'first contact' communication package. The aliens instantly open fire and destroy the entire task force in six minutes. As the human government moves towards war the saga focuses on the Cavanaugh family and thier involvement in the war. Zahn's development of specific technologies was facinating and unique. It is rare to find anyone in the SF field who can truely come up with anything new. If you are a SF fan I highly recommend that you read this book.
