(More customer reviews)Back in the early 1990's, Tim Zahn wrote a series that opened up the floodgates for the expanded Star Wars universe. He introduced perhaps the most complex and interesting character ever created for science fiction: Grand Admiral Thrawn. Over the last 15 years, readers have been treated with small glimpses of the destruction of Outbound Flight and the personality of Thrawn but with the exception of a short story, the Grand Admiral has not shown up again. Now he does with a vengeance. The history of Outbound Flight, the totalitarianistic ideals of Jorus C'Boath, the Chiss, Obi-wan and Anakin, Palpatine and most importantly Thrawn all appear in this book set approximately 5 years after Episode I. The characters come to life with startling clarity and at the head is Thrawn himself and his genius for combat. What Zahn does not do is give too much about Thrawn away. Even though the reader learns much about this fantastic character, Zahn still keeps him shrouded in mystery. He never commits the cardinal sin of letting us inside Thrawn's head in the way that so many other bad guys have been ruined (Boba Fett & Darth Maul to name a couple). Overall this is a great read, a fantastic addition to the Star Wars universe and a fine book.
