The Zhirrzh have won a temporary respite in their war with the barbarians. But the Human captive Pheylan Cavanagh has escaped, and for that Thrr-gilag, the young Searcher, finds himself disgraced. His bond-engagement to a female of a rival clan is imperiled. Soon he becomes a target of hidden and powerful forces seeking to remake Zhirrzh society in their own image. His only hope is to prove that the Overclan authorities are wrong and that it was not the Humans who started the war. But time is running short. The forces of the Zhirrzh are overextended and face retaliation. The Zhirrzh have learned to conquer death but even taht awesome power will be no match for the devastating might of the Human-Conqueror armadas. Thrr-gilag soon comes to realize that his people face a two fold threat - destruction by Human technology and destruction from within their own ranks.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Zhurzh are awesome!,
This review is from: Conquerors' Heritage (The Conquerors Saga, Book Two) (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the first book, and I really enjoyed it, and I just wanted to get the seconed one. When I realized that it was from the point of view of the Zhurzh, I started to have doubts, but it turned out to be just as good as the first. Vivid, and emotional, you find yourself feeling the way the characters do, hoping that things will turn out for them. This book compelled me to read the third.

A refreshing change,
This review is from: Conquerors' Heritage (The Conquerors Saga, Book Two) (Mass Market Paperback)
I first got into Timothy Zahn's work through his Star Wars Titles, which were good. However his work with the Conqueror's Trillogy is exceptional. His non Star Wars stuff is far superior. His approach to the concept of "First Contact" is refreshing and well worked. If you want to read a good story with very interesting twists, these are the books for you.

This review is from: Conquerors' Heritage (The Conquerors Saga, Book Two) (Mass Market Paperback)
Timothy Zahn has a knack for keeping you on your toes. Although this book is the second in a trillogy, it is distinctly different from the first in so many ways, and yet, it fits in with the story impeccably. I was very impressed. A must-read for all sci-fi fans.
