There wasn't really any reading fatigue with this one. I burned through 80 pages one day, which is not something I normally do. Reading this book felt exactly like watching a Star Wars movie to me. It took zero effort for the story to begin unfolding because it was written in a known universe full of famous characters. I struggled for a while deciding whether I "liked it" or "really liked it." If 3.5/5 was an option, I'd choose that. Yet, perhaps most dangerous of all, are those who lurk in the shadows, orchestrating a dark plan that will turn the New Republic and the Empire into their playthings.
Meanwhile, Luke teams up with Mara Jade, using the Force to track down a mysterious pirate ship with a crew of clones. Facing incredible odds, Han and Leia begin a desperate race against time to prevent the New Republic from unraveling in the face of two inexplicable threats-one from within and one from without. Then comes the shocking news that Grand Admiral Thrawn-the most cunning and ruthless warlord in history-has apparently returned from the dead to lead the Empire to a long-prophesied victory. First a plot is hatched that could destroy the New Republic in a bloodbath of genocide and civil war. But they have saved their most heinous plan for last. The Empire stands at the brink of total collapse. Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn makes his triumphant return to the Star Wars(r) universe in this first of an epic new two-volume series in which the New Republic must face its most dangerous enemy yet-a dead Imperial warlord.
