The only 'Sanctioned Fan-Fic' worth reading. Characters: Yes, they are all there. That's why it is good. The Jade chick makes a good compliment for Luke so he isn't snogging his sister. The bad guy is actually bad enough to make up for Vader's absence. Plot: It's very solid. Star Wars wasn't really about the plot. Style: Yea, it feels like the movies. A romp through space with fighting and bad odds. It's jolly good. Not bad as far as Star Wars novels go but definitely for fans only. A nice wrap-up to the trilogy. Small things disappointed me about the ending, but not enough to damage my favourable opinion. This was a fun ride, and I might read other Zahn works in the expanded universe someday. I'd heard a lot about Mara Jade prior to reading this series, and I can see how this trilogy cemented her as a major EU character in the minds of fans. It was considerably more successful than the disappointing "Shadows of the Empire". Excellent series. These books are so well written that they should be a legal followup to the Star Wars Trilogy. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553564927, Paperback)The embattled Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has marshaled the remnants of the Imperial forces and driven the Rebels back with an abominable technology recovered from the Emperor's secret fortress: clone soldiers. As Thrawn mounts his final siege, Han and Chewbacca struggle to form a coalition of smugglers for a last-ditch attack against the empire, while Leia holds the Alliance together and prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins. Overwhelmed by the ships and clones at Thrawn's command, the Republic has one last hope--sending a small force, led by Luke Skywalker, into the very stronghold that houses Thrawn's terrible cloning machines. There a final danger awaits, as the Dark Jedi C'baoth directs the battle against the Rebels and builds his strength to finish what he had already started: the destruction of Luke Skywalker.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:22 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
