Publisher's summary

The epic story that began with Heir to the Empire reaches its dramatic conclusion in this essential Star Wars Legends novel.

The embattled Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has marshaled the remnants of the Imperial forces and driven the Rebels back with an abominable technology recovered from the Emperor's secret fortress: clone soldiers. As Thrawn mounts his final siege, Han Solo and Chewbacca struggle to form a coalition of smugglers for a last-ditch attack, while Princess Leia holds the Alliance together and prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins.

The Republic has one last hope—sending a small force into the very stronghold that houses Thrawn’s terrible cloning machines. There a final danger awaits, as the Dark Jedi C’baoth directs the battle against the Rebels and builds his strength to finish what he already started: the destruction of Luke Skywalker.

Great finishing to an amazing trilogy.

Love this last book of the trilogy, the character development was intriguing. The only issue I had was in the performance when the clone of Luke was introduced and going forward. The words seemed to run together or unrecognizable at times when the narrator said either, "clone of Luke," or "Luke's clone". Otherwise would have received a full 5 star rating. Definitely a fan of both the author and narrator, and will continue to enjoy books by both.

The Conclusion to the Original Thrawn Trilogy

Timothy Zhan hit the ball out of the park with this trilogy, bringing the classic characters together along with new characters that expand the Star Wars universe!

Zahn’s creation of non-Force wielding villain to lead the Empire was a stroke of genius! He created on of the greatest characters in the lore that is Star Wars, successfully building a villain that uses cunning, pure strategy and his enormous wealth of experience to keep the fledgling New Republic on it’s heels!

Great series

This trilogy is what got me into the Star Wars expanded universe, now legends. I loved listening to these books for both the performance and the nostalgia attached to them.

Great performance by Marc Thompson

Timothy Zahn is the best Star Wars book writer hands down imo, and Marc Thompson does such a great job voicing all his characters!

Not Sure about this Thrawn

I have "read" the other 2 Thrawn series books that are Canon. Plus the Thrawn from Rebels. He was just as calculated, but listened to his officers more. he also didn't have that arrogance about his like the Legends Thrawn from this series. Ended was not climatic at all and no mention of his people.

An epic finish to an epic tale

This trilogy has easily been my favorite Star Wars story, second only to the original trilogy. Anyone who considers themselves a Star Wars fan should listen to this as it is genuinely a work of art. Thrawn is a brilliant example of passion and intellect and makes for probably the most interesting antagonist I have experienced in the Star Wars universe. Do NOT miss out on this tale.

Really a true gem. From the story to the narration I didn't want it to end.
