Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (20th Anniversary Edition): The Thrawn Trilogy, Book 1 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" When I was a kid, this was a great book. Twenty years later, understanding what good writing is, well, I liked it a lot less. "

" Not bad for a spin off. A nice way to tide yourself over for episode vii. "

" It was fun to follow the main cast of characters as they continue their adventures after the Star Wars movies. Eventually, there got to be enough Star Wars books that it was too overwhelming to read them all, and I gave up, but this trilogy was the first I read and was definitely my favorite. "

" It was an ok read, forgot most of it the second I finished it though "

" All 5 Thrawn books of Zahn set in the Star Wars universe after Episode 6, easily rise above the movies in almost every aspect. Characters we love come to love adding many equally interesting new ones in a thrilling storyline. "

" A decent read. Sometimes boring, sometimes great fun. "

" I enjoy Zahn's writing style. "

" I've been wanting to read this trilogy for years, despite the fact that doing so would cement my nerd status. I enjoyed the first book quite a bit, Star Wars can still be immensely entertaining if George Lucas isn't directly involved. What a shock. "

" This is the only Star Wars book series that I've read, but I've always heard that it is one of the best. I found it to be excellent. "

" This book was incredible. The Star Wars universe is filled with junk, this is definitely a diamond in the rough. Witty, action packed, and a very in depth plot. "

" This is by far the best Star Wars series I have every read. "

" Really enjoyed this! Follows on quite nicely from "Return of the Jedi." "

" This novel jump-started the whole expanded universe of Star Wars. Its a a pretty good read, with interesting characters, namely the Imperial Admiral Thrawn, who is ruthless yet civilized, and odd combination for most Star Wars books "

" Repackaged dialogue from the movies does not a good book make. "

" A very solid and enjoyable Star Wars novel. "

" It was good. I was drawn to the Mara Jade character and the Grand Admiral Thrawn/Paellon interaction. "

" Ha ha, I never read this you nerd! "

" The best Star Wars non-movie trilogy. These books could TOTALLY be made into movies and keep that awesome Star Wars feel (unlike Episodes I-III, echhh). "

" I read the trilogy in the seventh grade (I think), and I loved it! I can definitely say that it was the best of the Star Wars novels. "

" This book lived up to all the hype and more. If you even kind of like Star Wars this is a must read. I think Zahn had an easy job writing this considering all the characters are already formed but still such an awesome book. "

" This book was an amazing start to a fantastic series not to mention introducing one of the best "villains" I have ever read, Thrawn. "

" This is the series that started it all for me. Every Star Wars book gets compared to this series and most are found wanting. This book (and this trilogy) are the closest feel to the original trilogy closely followed by the Jedi Academy trilogy. "

" THE book that really launched the development of the Expanded Universe. Also, I think that if you read this book you'll encounter the most charming and interesting villain, notwithstanding Vador of course, you'll meet in all the Star Wars EU books. "

" This trilogy by Timothy Zahn are the only Star Wars books I've read (except Steven Perry's Shadows of the Empire) and they are worth the read. "

" One of the better Star Wars books I've read. "

" Very authentically continues where the movies left off - good read. "

" The frst of the post Original Trilogy Star Wars books, and still to this day one of the best. The introduction of new characters and new worlds felt perfectly in the vein of the first three Star Wars movies, but still carved out its own path. In short, I loved this story! "

" Read this book 20 years ago and loved it. Just gave it another spin, this time an audiobook from Audible.com. Easily the best audiobook I've listened too (I've listened to many). Hopefully they will produce the other two books in the series! "

" All of the books in the Thrawn Trilogy are excellent. I can't believe I haven't added this before. "

" A fun continuation of the Star Wars saga. "

" Okay I liked the book but I was also glued to wookieepedia the entire time looking up aliens, planets, and creatures. I really want to cotinue in the EU books, but for anyone looking to start them PLEASE USE A WIKI! Otherwise its pure confusion, but if your a star wars fan you wont regret it. "

" Actually damn good for a Star Wars book. It's been a while but my preteen self enjoyed thoroughly. "

" Zahn is the master of Star Wars and was great to go back and see the beginnings of the New Republic. "

" is a good sci-fi book, is very much like the original films, introduces new characters in a self-explanetory way. "
