The continuing story of our heroes of the Rebel Alliance against the evil Galatic Empire. Set five years after Return of the Jedi, Zahn shows us the Empire is still alive and kicking and Thrawn takes over where Vader and the Emperor left off. Part one of a three part story, it'll leave you wanting more!
The review of this Book prepared by Melissa Cole




This is the first of the Grand Admiral Thrawn trilogy. The Grand Admiral gathers cloaking technology to use in a raid to steal New Republic warships. In the meantime, he recruits the services of a crazy cloned Jedi, who, in return for his services, demands that Thrawn hands over Luke and Leia to him. Thrawn sends the Nogri, his death commandoes, in repeated attempts to capture them, but all he gets are dead Nogri.
