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 for any Star Wars Fan

The whole Thrawn Trilogy is amazing. Thrawn is one of the greatest characters ever created. The narration and story makes you imagine what’s going on in the book so clear in your head. Hear the entire Thrawn Trilogy from start to finish. You won’t be disappointed. Oh and let’s not forget about Mara Jade.

Just great!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. the production was great. It was interesting to have a notion of what you think people sound like in the book and have it be totally different in the audiobook, Talon Karrde for example, but it gave me a new perspective. I really enjoyed it.

Thompson is the ultimate Star Wars narrator

Marc Thompson nails every single character! I'd listen to him read anything probably. Story gets a bit tired by the end, but the whole trilogy is still fantastic

My favorite Star Wars book series

The Heir to the Empire book trilogy is very well written and the performance on the audiobook is well produced. This series introduces one of my favorite expanded universe characters in Grand Admiral Thrawn. The follow on books that feature Thrawn are equally well written. Timothy Zahn really gets it right the the Thrawn saga.

Favorite EU books ever.

I've read this trilogy a half a dozen times and listened to it at least 3. Never gets old. Also, Marc Thompson dies a great job in this, and all, SW EU books.
