Dragon and Liberator: The Sixth Dragonback Adventure (Dragonback)

4 reviews
Timothy Zahn

Starscape, 2008

exhilarating young adult science fiction saga
Fourteen-year-old space pilot Jack Morgan and poet-warrior Draycos continue their symbiotic quest to bring the human closure following the murders of his family and a way to save the K'da dragon's race from genocide. They have survived much, but neither feels they have made any meaningful progress towards achieving either stretch goal and time is running out at least for the K'da Dragons. Still ...

Random House Audio, 1994

Excellent Collection
A great way to have all 6 audiotapes for the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn. Anthony Daniels and Denis Lawson do an excellent narration for the books, and provide some excellent personalization for the characters. Definately a recommended purchase for the Star Wars fan.

Star Wars - Vol. 1 - Heir to the Empire (Star Wars)

Timothy Zahn

Bantam Books, 1996

There's a reason this is the most popular Expanded Universe novel
Heir To The Empire (1991.) A Star Wars novel by Timothy Zahn. Book one in a three-part series. INTRODUCTION: The Star Wars film series is, without question, the greatest science fiction series of all time. George Lucas captured the minds of people young and old across the world. But as anyone knows, there are only a limited number of films, and for many people, this just wasn't enough. And ...

Star Song and Other Stories

Five Star Trade, 2002

Light Comedy With Music
Star Song and Other Stories is, insofar as I am aware, the fourth collection of Zahn's short works. It contains 6 stories, of which I had already read 3 in Analog. Point Man is a humorous, but exciting story in the David and Goliath tradition. Hitmen-See Murderers is also humorous, yet with a bit of wisdom. The Broccoli Factor, another humorous story, is technological slapstick, but even ...

Perfect Joy of St. Francis

Timothy Zahn

Galilee Trade, 1974

St. Francis Comes Alive
Probably one of the best 10 books I've ever read. You almost feel like you're walking and living with St. Francis, sharing his spiritual quest at every turn. Historical fiction and writing at its best.

The books that brought back the Force!
There was a time almost a decade ago when SW was dead, a thing from the past, then one day passing by a bookstore something called my attention "Heir to the Empire", What's this? I wondered, and as I was reading page after page of this novel I relived the thrill and excitement and dreams from my childhood. Undoubtely this trilogy (completed by "Dark Force Rising" & "The Last Command") are as ...

The Backlash Mission

Timothy Zahn

Time Warner Books UK, 1988

Great story, interesting characters
I, like the first reviewer, am hoping that T. Zahn will write a third novel in this series. The end of the Backlash mission leaves you wondering what will happen to the Blackcollars - will they ever free the Earth from alien domination? What really happened to the Blackcollars hidden under the mountain? Will the aliens find a way to counter the Backlash drug? Will Caine ever become a ...

Spinneret

Timothy Zahn

Legend, 1987

Unique, Creative, and a great read!
Spinneret is a great read. If you are bored with the similarities of many SciFi plots, find this book! (I say *find* because it is currently out of print, try Amazon Used book section, Zshops, or online auctions, or the library). Zahn takes a totally ridiculous idea and creates a masterpiece. The premise of the story is that man finally makes it out of the solar system in hopes of ...

Warhorse

baen, 1990

A exciting story from an underappreciated author
The very first science fiction book I ever read was "Heir to the Empire", and ever since then, I have read every Timothy Zahn book that I could find, which are few, unfortunately. Warhorse is one of my favorite of his works. The story is set, as with most of Zahn's books in the near future of the Human race. It is the story of human's encounter's and reconciliations with a new race of beings ...

Heir to the Empire

376 reviews
Timothy Zahn, 2008

Superb kickoff to a great trilogy set five years after Return of the Jedi
The cornerstone of the modern Star Wars Expanded Universe, Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire was published in 1991 in an environment where Star Wars was considered a dusty relic of the 70s and 80s, except to some die-hard enthusiasts. At least, that was the perception going around. The reality was there was enough latent interest in the franchise to send this book soaring up the New York Times ...

Magic in Ithkar 4

1 review

Tor Books, 1987

"Come buy, come buy."
I believe there were only four 'Magic in Ithkar' volumes, which is a shame because Norton and Adams did a great job of soliciting (and editing?) these commonly-themed fantasy shorts. Each of the four collections has the same prologue by Robert Adams, which explains how the fair originated in Ithkar (a religious anniversary turned pilgrimage), the set-up (temple, campgrounds for the merchants, ...

The Last Command

Timothy Zahn

Demco Media, 1994

Thrawn Meets his End
In many cases, a reader or viewer of Star Wars can anticipate what will happen in a story before it even starts. One expects the Rebellion/New Republic to be victorious in the end. This does not make the plot any less interesting. One has a vague idea of how the Thrawn Trilogy will end. Still, it is a quality read. As Thrawn's plan begins to unhatch in "The Last Command", his relationship ...

Dark Force Rising (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 2)

Spectra, 1993

Rising Action
While I must admit that I was not a great fan of the first book in the Thrawn Trilogy "Heir to the Empire", the second book really got my attention. I will venture to say that most people reading the Star Wars books are reading to see the characters they loved from the movies develop. In the second book, Han Solo, Luke, Lando Calrissian, and Leia Organa Solo take center stage as they chase an ...

Specter of the Past (Star Wars)

Timothy Zahn

Spectra, 1997

Zahn's triumph
I really, really enjoyed Tim Zahn's retur to the Star Wars universe, especially since this actually makes political sense. Though I enjoyed the Thrawn trilogy, Thrawn himself was rather annoying, as I am sure that he was to Luke, Leia et al, since he was so good at making their lives miserable. But he was just so omniscient that he was a tad over the top, a Fu Manchu from the Galaxy far, far ...

Dark Horse, 1999

A rare comic that's a must purchase
Mara Jade: By the Emperor's Hand is one of those rare comics that has great art, smooth storyline, commendable dialogue and genuine depth. Co-authored by Stackpole and Zahn, two of Star Wars' more popular novelists known for quality output. The result here is another of their hits you expect when collaborative craniums work well. The quality of art shines bright, considering the comic dates back ...

Epic space adventure at its best!
The first in the three part Conqueror's Trilogy, Conqueror's Pride introduces a rich new universe of characters, locations and technology for the reader to explore. This is definitely one of my all time favourite science fiction stories...It has everything you come to expect from Timothy Zahn, complex and intriguing characters, a fast paced, twisting plot and fantastic action and ...

Fantastic!
If you've read other Star Wars novels by Timothy Zahn, you know he's the best author of the novels. Do yourself a favor and read the Thrawn trilogy. I'm still hoping Lucas will come to his senses and make a movie from those books.

Baen, 1983

Excellent Short Story collection
Timothy Zahn is one of the most imaginative science fiction authors writing today. He has written a large number of novels, which range from fair to excellent, and is probably best known for his contributions to the "Star Wars" Universe, particularly the novels in which he bought to life the character of Grand Admiral Thrawn and his people, the Chiss. However, Zahn's four short story collections ...

Bantam, 1994

Best Science Fiction of our time
This is the best and most original science fiction I have read. Every science fiction fan must have a copy of this trilogy in their library. If you crave innovative ideas and leading edge technology melded in the fantasy world of aliens and space travel then this is your passport to a bold new world. Zahn is an incredible writer with a great gift for thinking outside our comfort zones.
