Heir to the Empire Star Wars The Thrawn Trilogy Vol 1 Timothy Zahn Books

I read the Thrawn trilogy for the first time last year. Since then I've had trouble deciding how I feel about it.

I think that it's far too long, for beginners. It lacks the punch of the films, the epic sweep, the feeling of a galaxy teeming with life. On a second reading, the places that Zahn constructs are small, difficult to picture in your mind, and fail to capture a living, breathing world. In this sense, Zahn's writing is lackluster.

I hate his new characters, especially Talon Karrde, who in my opinion is an extremely one-dimensional character and too similar to Han Solo.

I like Thrawn and have no problem with his character. In fact, Zahn's most recent book "Thrawn" is a a way better book than the Thrawn trilogy and succeeds in its worldbuilding, despite having problems with pacing.

I suspect that many of the five star reviews and Zahn worship stem from the fact that in comparison to other works, particularly of the Bantam era, Zahn's books are the most plausible and best written. But that's not saying very much. I am struggling to want to get through these books a second time while doing a slower, more careful reading, and I'm probably going to give up on the effort.

I think that these books are extremely overrated. I think that the Aftermath trilogy, despite having annoying modern USA political messages, is far better written, particularly with regard to its worldbuilding, and presents a superior version of the post-ROTJ events than the Thrawn trilogy.

Heir to the Empire Star Wars The Thrawn Trilogy Vol 1 Timothy Zahn Books Reviews

The story that restarted the Star Wars universe, Heir To The Empire was the first expanded universe novel for the Star Wars universe. Picking up a few years after the events of the Return Of The Jedi film, Timothy Zahn not only played with the existing locations, characters, and stories as created by George Lucas, but fleshed it all out with characters and creatures of his own. Introducing the reader to characters like Talon Karrde, Mara Jade, and Grand Admiral Thrawn, Zahn peers into many elements of the universe that Lucas didn't get around to. If you have an interest in Star Wars, this is the starting point for your expanded universe. all the character breath and act realistically, whether established in the movies, or brand new to the settings, and all the locations are well thought out and introduced in interesting ways.
I have been a fan of the Star Wars saga since the first move came out back in the 1970s. I did not begin reading the Star Wars books until about six months ago. I recently purchased this 404 page (Star Wars Heir to the empire volume 1 by Timothy Zahn) on for a bargain price and found it to be an exciting and fun read.

In this book it is five years after the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star and defeated Darth Vader. Princess Leia and Hans Solo are married and are expecting Jedi twins. Luke has become first in a long line of Jedi Knights.

Even though the Death Star was destroyed the dark side is actively organizing itself to again dominate the galaxy. I never like to give away too much information when reviewing a novel because it may spoil it for the reader; however, if you are a Star Wars fan this is a must read book.

Rating 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author Practicing Combatives Alone on kindle).
In a whirlwind of disappointing new Star Wars movies a small ray of hope peeks out from the thick cluster of cannon vs non-cannon in the form of the Thrawn series. Heir to the Empire is a true sequel to the original trilogy and has all of the feel of the Star Wars universe while giving the audience a new story with new characters and interesting political intrigue. Thrawn is the most effective villain I'd the pleasure of reading about for an incredibly long time. He has taste, a sense of tactics and strategy, and an understanding of the importance of knowing the enemy.
I've already started the next book and am currently kicking myself for not having read this series earlier.
Heir to the Empire was Timothy Zahn first Star Wars novel (though not his first work), and started the Expanded Universe off with a rollicking ride of a real Star Wars story. A story that, if it could have been filmed in the 90s, might have sent the Star Wars universe in a very different direction. The Thrawn trilogy in particular were masterworks, fitting in to the universe perfectly with both familiar faces and new ones to add to the story including several that became fan favorites over the next twenty years. And this was literally the book that started it all.

If you haven't read it before, or if you're coming back to an old favorite like I did - enjoy it. This is some of the best writing in Star Wars. In any format, by anyone.
I've been reading this novel for the last week and am almost done with it. I actually didn't know when I bought it that it is an older novel and written in 1991 originally. The novel is a great read though and takes place shortly after the Battle of Yavin (Return of the Jedi). Luke continues to discover his force powers and Leia is attempting to begin her own training in the force while pregnant with Han Solo's kids. Grand Admiral Thrawn is the main Antagonist in the book and having never really read anything about him previously, without spoiling it, I can definitely tell why author Timothy Zahn has stated that he is a challenging character to write, but also his favorite. Its a great book! I highly recommend it.
