Five Stars

+ Forget what you know before you read

This is one of my favorite Star Wars books its filled with action, excitement, and adventure. Its the one of the few Star Wars book to feature Luke, Leia and Darth Vader with none of them knowing their relation to each other (Vader may know about Luke but he doesn't know about Leia) they actually ...

+ Fun in spite of continuity conflicts with the films (that came after this book was written)
+ A VERY good start to an intriguing series

Some of the boys really like the smaller Star Wars novels. I have tried to get what they request for summer reading.

Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1)377 reviews
Timothy Zahn

Spectra, 1992

Almost the first Expanded Universe Novel!

+ Superb kickoff to a great trilogy set five years after Return of the Jedi
+ Good Surprise

That is if you don't count Splinter of the Mind's Eye, or the Han trilogy, or Lando trilogy. This is a great series and could easily be credited with keeping the Star Wars series in the general populace's eye during the late eighties and early nineties. With no new films to date Star Wars was ...

Jedi Trial (Star Wars: Clone Wars Novel)57 reviews
David Sherman, Dan Cragg

Del Rey, 2005

Yuck...it kept getting worse, and worse, and worse...

The Black Fleet Crisis was bad. The Cestus Deception was not outstanding. I found Triple Zero lacking (especially compared to the exceptional Hard Contact). The Jedi Quest series took almost the entire series to make the journey worthwhile. But all these books pale in comparison to what I would ...

Timothy Zahn

Del Rey, 2004

Best SW book since ages!

+ great star wars whodunnit
+ Don't believe the critics. . .

Survivor's quest takes place about 3 years after the Thrawn duology, which unfortunately was Zahn's worst work to date. Still, knowing the excellent Thrawn trilogy (which started ALL the flow of new Star Wars books), I decided to give this novel a chance. I'm no native English speaker, but I ...

+ What a great finale to the Jedi Academy Trilogy.

I love the Jedi Academy Series and I love this book. I really like this book out of the series. A great way to wrap up a fantastic series. Not much more to say, I just loved this book very much.

+ Bravo!
+ Better than Jedi Search

I thought that this was a very good book. Not really one of my favorites, but still a good one. I also want to say to all of those that try to sniff out all of the little details about the book... Shut Up! Nobody cares if Han Solo was right handed but Kevin J Anderson made him left handed. ...
