Star Wars: Heir to the Empire

Other than the GL done SW movies, this is the most important series of books in the Galaxy Far Far Away. If i were starting out as a reader of the Expanded Star Wars universe I would not start with Zahn first. I would start with the Han Solo trilogy first.Darkhorse has made some SW books in comics. They gereally do a good job, but not always. They often suffer from poor editing decision. This one is no exception. It is to bad that you can't put the audio (book on tape) casette or CD and play it along with the comic, but you can't. The comic takes to many deletions to fit their page limitations. Still I have to give this 5 stars to reward Darkhorse for the attempt. Wishing DH would do other SW novels... thank you for this one.

I really liked reading this book because it was one of the best star wars books I ever read. I liked how Luke Skywalker went back to the Dagobah System. I also liked the new villians Thrawn,Talon Karrde, and C'baoth. It was great when they went to Chewbacca's home planet Kashyyyk. The battle at the end was a good way to end the book.

This adaption of Tim Zahn's book helps the reader to envision what Zahn was thinking when he wrote Heir to the Empire. The character of Grand Admiral Thrawn is the best--no one can surpass his military genius. Make sure to read the other two volumes: Dark Force Rising and The Lsat Command.

I thought this book was very good because it is well written, and I am a big Star Wars fan. The story line with one of the characters doesn't really follow up with the last movie, but besides that I thought that this was a great book.

No mere words can explain how great this book was!
