5.0 out of 5 stars Heir to the Empire..., April 13, 2011
Whether you are a Star Wars fanatic or just a fan of the movies most fans would agree that Heir to the Empire sets forth a blueprint of how Star Wars books should be written. Its ability to introduce new and exciting characters, vehicles, technology and storylines is without doubt epic in nature. Timothy Zahn weaves intricate tales like no other and does so with amazing ability to suck the reader into the universe in which he writes. Over the years many fans have become furious with many of the new series being sold to fans and if you carefully read the reasons for their angst you will quickly come to the conclusion that the books they are reading are lacking in the same creativity that Zahn is able to compel.

In this book we are introduced to some of the most thrilling characters to ever be created. Grand Admiral Thrawn, a brilliant and compelling character that takes a sledge hammer to the foundation of the evil villain and rebuilds it with compassion, compromise and intelligence. Also introduced is Mara Jade, a character that is so three dimensional she almost leaps from the page. Her beauty is undeniable but her character is where her attraction lies. Her back story makes her a strong tie between the old Empire and the Remnant. The list of new and amazing creations within the book would make for a long and drawn out review that would be nearly as long as the book itself.

Rarely in the new age of outspoken opinion will you find such numbers of agreement like you do amongst Star Wars fans about this book. It is simply because the book offers the reader the same as the movies, an ability to learn a new culture, a new civilization and a new species. There are nearly 300 reviews from all over the spectrum of opinion, read them and absorb them. I believe you will be compelled to purchase this book and also I believe you will love it as much as the vast majority of reviewers.

ALL FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED. THANKS AND GOOD READING.
