  “Our heros run around not really getting anywhere. Zahn's tepid characterizations began to wear on me. ”

  “Timothy Zahn's original Heir to the Empire trilogy really helped kick off the Star Wars Expanded Universe into more popular circulation and yet ironically his involvement in the rest of the series has been somewhat limited outside of pretty much a few short stories here and there.
  
  This book, first of a duology, is not as dynamic and action-packed in a literal sense when compared to Heir to the Empire but then the level of political complication and intrigue is a lot higher and more complex, and credit goes there.
  
  I feel like this Hand of Thrawn duology was really meant to be just one long book but of course for more practical purposes it had to be broken into two. Still, it's a pretty good read.”

  “I was very excited to see Timothy Zahn write another Star Wars book. I love how he continues to expand the character of Mara Jade, who I believe he created. I was a little disappointed that he used the Thrawn character again since he was killed in 'The Last Command' but that shouldn't lessen anyone's desire to read this very worthy member of the Star Wars Universe.”
