Book Reviews of The Last Command (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 3)
Book Review: A fitting end to a superb series!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Last Command wraps up all of the loose ends that were established in the other two novels in the series. Mara Jade's character is redeemed and from her memorable introduction, to her fight alongside Luke in Myyrkr forest, to her battle with him against C'boath, her character comes full circle and her ties to the Dark Side are finally severed.
Having certain plot points established early on helped when the book took some surprising turns! I was not expecting them and it made this book the most exciting of the three. I have read many of the Expanded Universe Novels and aside from Shadows of the Empire, none of the others come close to this series.
The Star Wars novel franchise is an interesting one, but it holds little interest for me much beyond this time-line in the Star Wars saga. 5 Years after Return of the Jedi is plenty of time to tell a new story about our beloved heroes. But the Expanded Universe has stretched out into 50 or so years after. Honestly these poor characters can't live in peace, because the publishers need to sell more novels. I likely won't be reviewing the other novels as they don't really compare with the ones I've already noted.
I apologize for the derailment, but I just needed to share that with those that may have been following my book reviews on Star Wars. Thanks! This is a wonderful read and all the character's story arcs are resolved in a exciting and logical fashion.
Summary of The Last Command (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 3)
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.Fantasy Books
