I have always loved the Star Wars universe and especially the novels that were written about it. Timothy Zahn definitely writes my favorite books about it. His stories fit quite well within the framework of the existing Star Wars world while adding something new and extra to it. I like his writing style and characterizations a great deal. ( )

Zahn brings some much needed polished writing to the Star Wars universe. I actually put the book down when I got tired so that I would be able to understand what he was writing.[and yes, that is a good thing]

I had fun reading this, a bit more than I had reading [b:Star Wars Allegiance|2487682|Star Wars Allegiance|Timothy Zahn|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320503711s/2487682.jpg|2934013], not sure why though. Seemed to have more action than I remember in Allegiance.

Glad I bought this one... ( )

It is definitely starting to feel like Zahn has reacted to the overly-complicated Star Wars EU plotlines by retreating into his shell and writing books *only* about his pet creations Thrawn, Jade and the Karrde organization. I have fond memories of Heir to the Empire, but doing more and more books about the same characters is only serving to make them all less mysterious and more hounded by absurd continuity contortions, like the rest of the Star Wars EU.

Lucasbooks : We would like you to write another book for our expanded universe, the readers enjoy your books more than any of the others.
