Book Reviews of Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1)
Book Review: The first original opening to my collection of the Star Wars Novels
Summary: 5 Stars
I still remember the day I saw this books release, I actually had finished seeing the first star wars(Episode 4) and was at the mall when I looked inside the book store and saw a poster of Luke Skywalker and the star wars cast as the bookstore was advertising the release of this new book called "Heir To The Empire". At first I thought it would be a stale try at storytelling of this sci-fi universe and amusingly bought the book, and I have forever thanked karma for making me get that book. This was the introduction of most of the characters we've grown to love, hate, respect, and cherish throughout these years, and I think most would agree that the most known character created from the star wars books is Mara Jade(R.I.P.). I've reread some of these older novel sagas especially after the recent two sagas which killed off many of our favorite characters which I find somewhat unforgivable. So if your just starting your sci-fi book collection or a new star wars fan I'd say start the book collection with this great trilogy and if you don't mind I'd like to give you a little list on some othe great star wars trilogy books and singular novels that would be a great buy for any sci-fi/star wars fan to get.
SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE
HEIR TO THE EMPIRE
DARK FORCE RISING
THE LAST COMMAND
CHILDREN OF THE JEDI
DARKSABER
PLANET OF TWILIGHT
THE CRYSTAL STAR
THE NEW REBELLION
AMBUSH AT CORELLIA
ASSAULT AT SELONIA
SHOWDOWN AT CENTERPOINT
SPECTER OF THE PAST
VISION OF THE FUTURE
These are some of the earlier books but I feel are probably the best in the star wars universe, after these books we had the star of the Yuuzhan Vong saga which was probably the longest so far in the star wars universe and which also sadly saw the death of a few of our longtime characters we grew to love deeply. So if you're a great fan of Star Wars or just a sci-fi geek like me I say again star the collection today with this great trilogy as a star than try out the rest, you might be surprised at how many hidden diamonds you find with these books...
Summary of Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1)
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.General Books
