Dark Force Rising Star Wars The Thrawn Trilogy Vol 2 Timothy Zahn Books

I enjoyed this one, and not much to pick apart, except the overuse of Sardonic - I like the word, but seeing it in print too many times, it sticks out.

The thing that I enjoy the most I believe from this series so far is that Karrde is the rogue character that Han Solo was BEFORE *A New Hope* - Lando and Han become more of ex-rogues, which is not as much fun - legitimate thieves and all - Karrde is still a thief, and he plays both sides well to his advantage - and I enjoy that.

I wish that I did not know who Mara Jade was before reading this - that coming surprise is ruined, but the actions and dialog between her and Luke are still enjoyable, and this is a series that I can finally be happy to have started, and now I am on my way to finishing.

This would be a great arena for the new Star Wars films, but I know that everything in print now is non-canon; so we will have to wait and see what the future holds. But for now, I am enjoying the series.

Dark Force Rising Star Wars The Thrawn Trilogy Vol 2 Timothy Zahn Books Reviews

I am loving this series. The second book is excellent. The author has captured the essence of each character perfectly. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I recommend this series to all Star Wars fans.
In the first audio book, "Heir to the Empire", the story was read by Denis Lawson (Wedge Antilles), who did a credible job. With Anthony Daniels (C3PO) things have improved considerably. Daniels has a much better reading voice. He has great voice characterizations allowing the reader to easily keep the many characters straight. Once again the special effects are excellent (blaster fire, star ship engines, etc.). The audio is crisp and clear in a car environment. Timothy Zahn continues the story of the fledgling New Republic. Admiral Thrawn (of the Empire) is the last surviving Grand Admiral, and his plans to bring down the New Republic are slowly culminating. In addition to that threat the NR has also to deal with a new Dark Jedi. Zahn does a great job with the old "wheel within a wheel" type story. There are several (but not too many) threads running through the book that make it very entertaining and keep you longing for more. Well worth the purchase price (I can't add anything more to the publisher's review). Run time 180 minutes.
This book picks up after Heir to the Empire and follows the exploits of Luke, Leia, Chewie, and Han as they attempt to rebuild the Republic after the questionable defeat of the Empire at the battle of Endor. We follow the storylines of our main characters as they are harassed by political infighting and a brilliant tactician from the remenants of the Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn.

It's an awesome read that shows a lot of additional character development (especially for Leia and Han, something that was lacking in the Luke-centric movie trilogy) and answers many of the questions of what happens after the defeat of the Emperor.
Years after the original Star Wars Trilogy movies it was fun to revisit these three characters. Obviously, I could not help but to see the actors faces while reading this story. Timothy Zahn captured the screen essence of each of them so incredibly well and Thrawn may be the most brilliantly evil character ever introduced. I waited this long to read this trilogy simply because I did not want to be disappointed but the most disappointing thing was missing the opportunity to check in on them until so many years later. Whether the original films were seen in the theater (as I did) or seen on DVD or BluRay years later (as I have) this series continues the legacy and is well worth the investment. May the Force be with us all.
Reading this book genuinely captures the feeling of the Original movies. You feel like your watching a movie even though your reading a book. A page turner in every way!
The second of Timothy's Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy picks up almost immediately after the Empire's thwarted attack at the Sluis Van Shipyards but immediately launches the characters back into action. With the New Republic maintaining its tenuous position as the new major government in the galaxy, the Empire is still pushing to regain it's former position. Timothy Zahn brings an action-packed novel that has a mix of cannon and original characters that are so strongly written they feel like real people.
I have been a fan of Timothy Zahn since I read Thrawn Trilogy in the 90s. Ive decided to read it again. Like the first book, Zahn did a good job in writing the story. Each chapter has a climax and a goo plot to it. In each page, Zahn puts in a lot of detail in the story. And briefly describes each character, and has specific scenes for each character. It a work of art. It doesn't stop there.
I liked Heir to the Empire, but this one was even better. Timothy Zahn nailed it here with my favorite ending in the series.

I started reading these again after 20 years because I have been so disappointed in the Disney sequel trilogy. There is definitely stuff that doesn't jive with the prequel trilogy released a few years after these books were released, but it's pretty easy to correct "Dark Jedi" with "a secret Sith apprentice" in your mind as you read.

This was the Star Wars trilogy they should have made into film and I wish Zahn would revisit this series and correct some verbage to make it match the prequel terminology a bit. I'd totally buy these again if he did.
I enjoyed this one, and not much to pick apart, except the overuse of Sardonic - I like the word, but seeing it in print too many times, it sticks out.

The thing that I enjoy the most I believe from this series so far is that Karrde is the rogue character that Han Solo was BEFORE *A New Hope* - Lando and Han become more of ex-rogues, which is not as much fun - legitimate thieves and all - Karrde is still a thief, and he plays both sides well to his advantage - and I enjoy that.
