The action continues to be high, with his characters spread in five different dimensions. You would think it would be overwhelming, but Zahn handles it nicely, reminding the reader where Leia is, what Han is doing, what happened to Luke and so on so you don't ever go, "Wait a minute, it's been forever since we heard from Mara...where is she?" I've read other authors who drop viewpoints randomly and make me wonder that exact thing. Second part of the New Republic trilogy (commonly known as the Thrawn trilogy for obvious reasons), which begins right at the end of the previous novel Heir to the Empire, and follows the events from there. This review will be free of spoilers of this particular book except in a separate tab, but it will have something from the first part. Ha de comprender que los medios son tan importantes como los fines. Un Jedi utiliza la Fuerza para saber y defenderse, no para atacar. a b Myers, Lindsay Rae (20 February 2014).

SBI believes this tyrannical genetics master to be not only Count Dooku's akk dog responsible for the recent stone mite outbreaks, but the homicidal maniac behind the carbonite metastasis crypts of Anaxes and the Katana fleet's descent into wholesale insanity." ―Mace Windu, about Zeta Magnus' possible involvement [4]
THE STORY: The battle against between the fledgling New Republic and a resurgent empire lead by Grand Admiral Thrawn continues as a political shakeup on coruscant occurs and our classic heroes of Luke, Han, and Leia search for answers, all while progressing in their own personal adventures and quests. Thrawn gets a few cool moments of deduction here that I really liked, but he also knows when to admit that he has been defeated in a given battle.Meanwhile, the New Republic believes there is a spy among them that is leaking information on the New Republic's actions and plans to the Imperials. It is only known as Delta Source. Yet most dangerous of all is a new Dark Jedi, risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, consumed by bitterness, and scheming to corrupt Luke Skywalker to the dark side. Read more Look Inside Details Thrawn’s return was very exciting. Lucasfilm called me to show me concept designs for Rebels. At the same time, we were discussing future novels about the character. It was then eight months before the announcement of the Grand Admiral’s return, at Star Wars Celebration London in 2016. There’s not much difference between the original Thrawn and the Thrawn of this new timeline. It’s the same character, in different geopolitical conditions, surrounded by different characters, but he hasn’t changed. Lucasfilm wanted these new books to be connected to Rebels, so I tried to make as many connections as possible. They gave me the scripts for the episodes in advance, so that I was aware of the plot… The goal is for everything to fit together. The second book takes place between season 2 and season 3. And the third takes place during a period of the series where he is off camera in season 4.” Book two in the thrilling Thrawn Trilogy! (Who woulda thought that a C'baoth clone would get the title of this review!!)
Our protagonists are separated for almost the entire work: Luke in search of Master C'baoth and spending time with him, Leia travels to Honogrh, homeworld of the Noghri, and Han and Lando trying to recruit smugglers for their cause. Overally, this was such an intriguing, enjoyable book (and, since I listened to the audiobook, Marc Thompson’s narration remained simply excellent). I’m looking forward to finishing this series! I haven’t been disappointed.The idea for a post-film trilogy was conceived by Lou Aronica, an editor at Bantam Books who proposed a series as "ambitious as the films were". [12] Lucas was initially skeptical of the proposal, but acquiesced; Bantam Spectra then brought Timothy Zahn on board to write the trilogy. [12] Five years after the Death Star was destroyed and Darth Vader and the Emperor were defeated, the galaxy is struggling to heal the wounds of war, Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins, and Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of new Jedi Knights. In the continuing search for Delta Source, the New Republic source believed to be spying for Thrawn, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian try to find evidence at the planet New Cov, with Luke helping before he left for Jomark. At New Cov, it is believed that one of Senator Borsk Fey'lya's advisers is a traitor to the New Republic for Thrawn, and is thus a primary suspect for Delta Source. But before Han, Lando, and Luke can find any real evidence concerning Fey'lya's adviser, they find out that Thrawn's forces have arrived on the planet. They manage to escape, and Han and Lando are saved by a third party, which takes them to an unknown location where they meet the legendary General Garm Bel Iblis, one of the initial members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Bel Iblis declines to help the New Republic defeat Thrawn because of personal problems with Chief of State Mon Mothma.
