Well, there were three in this series is what I meant, but thanks for letting me know! I have a whole bunch more to hunt down now :-)

Actually, Zahn has six Star Wars books. This trilogy, the Hand of Thrawn duology, and the forthcoming Survivor's Quest.

He did three of them in fact.

If this series is indicative of his other writings, I will have to check them out :-)

Thanks for the comment!

a Star Wars fan per se (I'll see the original movies any time, any place, but don't seem to have much interest in the spin-offs or sequels), but I am a big fan of Timothy Zahn, who is really one of the better SF writers these days. Hadn't realized he'd done a Star Wars book -- I may have to check it out.

I'm so glad! Yes, I think this book picks the story up in a very well-written and believable way.

Thanks for the comment!

I think later in the series the books got much darker. But these first few were really good.

Thanks for the comment!

you know, I have always been a fan of Star Wars, and this book seems to tie everything together. I know both of my sons will love this book.

this books sounds like it would hold my attention! I am a big fan of the original Star Wars trilogy, but just couldn't seem to get into the new ones, despite my son's love of them. Maybe I should pick up the book!
