Title: Thrawn, A Worthy Heir
Review: The Star Wars universe succeeds or fails with it's villian. Vader made the films. Maul redeemed an easily criticized Episode I. Zahn delivers to the fans a cerebral, cultured, and unique Heir to the imperial remnant with Thrawn.As I rolled through this book, I longed for this to be the cinematic heir to Return of the Jedi (as I read this the first time in high school, long before Ep I). The characters are intriging, the settings are fresh, and our old favorites are once again brough to us as if we just left the celebration on Endor.This was the first book I read from the expanded Star Wars universe. I have read every hard cover since and many of the paperbacks. And that is 100% due to how good a book (and a trilogy) Zahn has written.I'm not a Star Wars Novel mark (although I am a huge fan) There have been awful novels. This one though is awesome.Read it. And be prepared to anticipate the next book as much as you anticipated the movie back in the late 70's and early 80's.
