5.0 out of 5 stars Zahn has recreated the Star Wars universe in his own image, 7 Jan 2000
By A Customer
Timothy Zahn has created one of the greatest characters in the entire legend in Grand Admiral Thrawn. His manipulation of events and people throughout the book really brings home just how totally fluky the New Republic (nee Rebel Alliance) is.

Beautifully written, Zahn has taken the seeds of what George Lucas created in A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi and turned it into a masterpiece of science fiction. Cracking read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest SW novel ever, 5 Sep 1999
By A Customer
All I can say is wow. I am a writer (ametuer) and his style is amazing. A cold and calculating villian, Thrawn, is the best leader for the empire. He doesn't like to waste his men the way Vader could, he is better than any villian I've ever seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars It was really true to the original trilogy., 4 Sep 1999
By A Customer
It was way cool ! The way Thrawn was potrayed was really interesting. He also had a certain likeness to Darth Maul. Pallenon was classic, and Luke was really interesting. C'Baoth was really twisted but he turned out okay. And the Noghri were really interesting along with Mara Jade and Talon Karrade. I was really fascinated by Thrawn's intuition, and stabibility. Timithoy Zahns Trilogy fits perfectly with the Star Wars Galaxy.
