Star Wars: Heir to the Empire

Title: Star Wars: Heir to the Empire
Author: Timothy Zahn
Genre: Science Fiction
By: Andrew

This book is a continuation of the Star Wars movies. It takes place five years after Return of the Jedi.

Grand Admiral Thrawn is one of the evil Emperor’s warlords who survived the last battle with the Rebel Alliance. He has taken control of the Imperial fleet and is planning to attack the new Republic and steal warships from the Slusis Van shipyards. Grand Admiral Thrawn has discovered two secret weapons to help him carry out his plan. It’s up to Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and their allies to defend the Slusis Van shipyards against Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Imperial fleet. Will Grand Admiral Thrawn complete his assault or will the new Republic be able to repel him?

I would recommend this book to any Star Wars fan or anybody else because it tells you what happened after the end of the last movie. It also has tons of action, adventure, and surprises. I can’t wait to start reading book number two Dark Force Rising and book number three The Last Command!
