Reader Review: Heir to the Empire is what started it all. When Tim Zahn gave birth to the Thrawn Trilogies he couldn't have known the universe he'd just created. So many characters are introduced in this book. Thrawn, Admiral Pelleon, Winter, Talon Karde, Mara Jade. And Jaina and Jacen Solo make their first appearance in The Thrawn Trilogy. If you haven't read any Star Wars before, this is where you start. I'll tell you straight out that while this book and this series is magnificent, it is a little dry. Zahn's style, although a little more serious and a little more tactically complicated than the movies still feels fun. It still feels like Star Wars.


It's five years after Return of the Jedi: the Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven out the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy. Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting Jedi Twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights. But thousand of light-years away, the last of the emperor's warlords has taken command of the shattered Imperial Fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the new Republic. For this dark warrior has made two vital discoveries that could destroy everything the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance fought so hard to build. The explosive confrontation that results is a towering epic of action, invention, mystery, and spectacle on a galactic scale--in short, a story worthy of the name Star Wars.

Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!
