Super - [01 Aug 2009]
This book is a wonderful extention to the original trilogy. I just cant wait to read the rest of this trilogy. Timothy Zahn is just as brilliant as George Lucas.

Superb kickoff to a great trilogy set five years after Return of the Jedi - [28 Jul 2008]
The cornerstone of the modern Star Wars Expanded Universe, Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire was published in 1991 in an environment where Star Wars was considered a dusty relic of the 70s and 80s, except to some die-hard enthusiasts. At least, that was...

Good Surprise - [13 Jun 2008]
I did not expect that the star wars series could continue so interesting after The Return of the Jedi. The new characters that I saw for the first time in this movie are just as interesting as Han Solo and the others I was already familiar with. If you...

Almost the first Expanded Universe Novel! - [17 May 2008]
That is if you don't count Splinter of the Mind's Eye, or the Han trilogy, or Lando trilogy. This is a great series and could easily be credited with keeping the Star Wars series in the general populace's eye during the late eighties and early nineties...

Excellent - [06 Feb 2008]
Excellent book continuing the star wars story. The first few chapters are spent getting you back up to speed with previous and new characters, but once through them, it's hard to put the book down. If you enjoyed the battle with Sidious and Vader, Thrawn...

Doesn't deserve to be called a Star Wars story - [06 Feb 2008]
The good: some characters are well developed and treated that they come alive such as Han Solo and Lando.
The bad: The story seems to go nowhere, first chapters are really boring. I think Zahn fails to set the apropriated tension since the beginning...

The New Empire - [11 Jan 2008]
In the first book of the "Thrawn Trilogy", Grand Admiral Thrawn takes the reigns of the Empire. One of the most compelling aspects of the plots of the Star Wars series is the villains. Without Emperor Palpatine or Darth Vader, the movie plots may not ...

Heir To A Good Read - [06 Jan 2008]
I started reading this book about three years ago and within a month released I was just not in to it so I put it down and returned it to the library, disenchanted. I picked it up again recently and decided to give it another go. I don't know if it is...

Has its moments - [13 Nov 2007]
I normally do not read derivative fiction, but I like the Star Wars universe, and Zahn's books have been recommended to me for years. The biggest problem I have with his writing is he seriously overuses certain phrases and words, and this persists throughout...
