Product Description
Product Description
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.
From the Back Cover
Read by Anthony Daniels, this is the third and final volume in a trilogy also including 'Heir to the Empire' and 'Dark Force Rising'.
'Heir to the Empire' and 'Dark Force Rising', reacquainted listeners everywhere with characters Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and others from the most popular trilogy in movie history.
'The Last Command' begins five years after the events of the 'Star Wars' film 'Return of the Jedi'. Hopes are dim in the fragile New Republic as Grand Admiral Thrawn and his clone soldiers mount a final siege, threatening the Republic's ruin.
While Princess Leia prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins, Han Solo and Chewbacca struggle to form a wary alliance of smugglers in a last-ditch attack against the Empire. But the Republic's only real hope is a small force led by Luke Skywalker. They must penetrate Throne's stronghold to face the ultimate danger – the Dark Jedi C'baoth, who is building his strength to finish what he had already started: Luke's destruction, in a final battle of Good and Evil.
Anthony Daniels played the golden robot C3PO, in the three 'Star Wars' films. Mr Daniels also has an extensive stage background.

Format:Audio Cassette
I originally bought the first book, of this three part series, at a jumble sale. I was sceptical of the many additional storylines that have been spawned form the films.
Timothy Zahn in my opinion has written a trilogy, that would surpass the films. It was intriguing, and had me totally engrossed. I thoroughly recommend the series of books (as they all have to be read in order to fully understand the whole storyline) for not just Star Wars fans, but any one who enjoys, a well documented Saga!

I've got all three versions of this, (paperback/graphic/audio) and aside from listening to Anthony Daniels doing all the other voices on the tape versions, (Absolutely hilarious by the way...) this is one of the best star wars books I've seen so far. I did notice one important mistake though, which was 'how did C'Boath brainwash the clone if he couldn't use the Force?' but even this can't take away from the rest of the book, which truly shows how much effort and attention to detail Zahn put into this. All in all an amazing end to a top notch trilogy which gets better with each book.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have just finished reading the empire trilogy. In brief, I can only say that I was transported into the midst of the action with a big tub of popcorn on my knee. TZs writing is second to none - all our favourite characters were there - he captures the ambiance that is Star Wars. Thrawn was so well described you could see him constantly coming out of the shadows with some deadly counter action if you dared to even put the book down for a second (which was practically impossible). As a trilogy, I had to keep all three books together for fear of loosing the continuity. But dont just listen to me rambling on about it, go and buy the books "YOU WILL BUY THE BOOKS!"

I loved this book except for one thing: the big finale between Luke and the bad Jedi. I guess a fight is a fight is a fight, and even a good writer can't do much new with one. Read more
