Publisher 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. 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 New Republic has one last hope: sending a small force, led by Luke Skywalker, into the 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 has already started: the destruction of Luke Skywalker.

"This was the first starwars book I ever read and I loved this book. I think out of all the starwars books that I have read, The Thrawn Trilogy, is perhaps some of the best books. I think each both actually gets better than the last and I highly recommend these books. "

    " The third and last book of the Thrawn trilogy - it just continues to get better and better! No one can tell me they hate Star Wars novels until they have read this series. I'm serious when I contend that it is actually good literature. "

    " The Thrawn trilogy is, in my opinion, the best Expanded Universe series out there. Though this final installment isn't quite as good as its predecessors, and Zahn seems to almot rush the ending, it's a strong conclusion to an amazing series. "

    " While I won't give away spoilers, I was a bit disappointed in how this trilogy ended. It seemed like it just stopped, and wasn't very interesting in the last 30 or so pages. Great series, regardless! "

    " Great series! Zahn is a great writer. His descriptions of things are a bit too detailed at times, but nonetheless, he can weave a great Star Wars tale. Very well done. "

    " Fun trilogy. Quick-paced and touched on a bit of everything - action, adventure, political intrigue, etc. Adds a ton to the movies, and Thrawn was a great villain. If you enjoyed the Star Wars movies these are a good ride. "

    " In many ways, it seems like the plot of this trilogy is so much deeper than any other trilogy plot in the EU (and then some). Zahn remains my favorite SW author. Mara Jade and Pelleon are some of the best SW characters out there. "

    " Good finish to the series. My only complaint is how fast the book finished. Zahn spent a lot of time setting everything up, and he just suddenly wraps it all up in the last few pages. It was kind of a let down. Overall, still a good book and good series. "

    " *sniff* it's sad to finish another series. I really didn't want it to end as it captures the Star Wars universe so perfectly. Going to have to pick up Zahn's other SW stuff!! "

    " This was better than book 2, but this series is much worse than I remember it being. Had about a billion reference comparisons to mynocks whick just became comical after a while. Cool ideas by Zahn but he's just not a great author. Great book and series for teens though. I loved it as a teenager. "

    " I read this while in college, so I'm unsure whether I liked this book because it continued the Star Wars saga (long before the prequels nearly killed my love for Star Wars), or if it is actually good. I will leave my rating as a 3 until I read it again (if ever). "
