About this deal

The fact that the late Emperor had seen fit to make Thrawn one of his twelve Grand Admirals was evidence of his own confidence in the man—all the more so given Thrawn’s not-entirely-human heritage and the Emperor’s well-known prejudices in such matters. Baron has won two Eisners and an Inkpot for his work on Nexus, now being published in five languages including French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. The sourcebook gives biographical profiles of notable personalities from Zahn's novel, and brief profiles of planets and aliens mentioned in the novel.

Acknowledged, Chimaera,” General Covell said into his helmet comlink, careful to keep the quiet scorn in his gut from getting through to his voice. I loved learning about the history of the Noghri leading up to this book and felt the tragedy of it. This book is a thrilling continuation of the Star Wars saga that skillfully weaves together action, intrigue, and unforgettable characters.This second book is better than the first one, while I still considering quite relevant and important the first book, just lacking of a climax of my taste. My favorite plot line was actually Leia's and I thought it was extremely fun to learn about her and the Noghri people. Covell had directed literally hundreds of assault campaigns in his years of Imperial service, and he knew full well the awesome capabilities of the fighting machines under his command. Surrounding it and the ship itself were the stars, a spattering of blazing white pinpricks in the deep blackness of space.

A fight between him and her forced him to leave the Rebellion, and he, being too proud and Corellian to boot, is unwilling to rejoin. For my part, however, I'll definitely try to avoid Star Wars EU books which prominently feature characters from the films as their protagonists, as the discrepancy between screen and page portrayals was the biggest obstacle for me. THE CONClUSION: Dark Force Rising could have been a lot better, but I still found it to be a good book. Trying, sir,” the voice came back, tinny and distant through the strange dampening effects of Myrkr’s metal-rich flora. The dying Empire's most cunning and ruthless warlord, Grand Admiral Thrawn, has taken command of the remnants of the Imperial Fleet and launched a massive campaign aimed at the New Republic's destruction.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. El personaje de Thrawn me parece muy interesante, aunque me sigue pareciendo exagerado su nivel de acierto en todo lo que hace, incluso cuando falla acierta.

After the events of the first part, the New Republic (although the Imperials continue to refer to them as the Rebels) is awaiting the new plans that Grand Admiral Thrawn can devise against them. The middle story in the Thrawn Trilogy does what all good middle chapters do and moves the story on enough to keep things interesting but any kind of resolution to any of the introduced characters is left for the finale. As everyone re-gathers at Coruscant Karrde’s background makes the clearly corrupt council member Fey’lya hesitate to act on the information, which the smuggler says is costing them time because the Empire have captured his old superior who also knows the Katana Fleet’s location. Particularly when characters are conversing with one another, there seems to be only a few different types of responses (which often sound awkward and hard to envision) that characters are able to give one another, such as: "grunted", "retorted", "countered", and "conceded". Intricate Plot Weaving: Zahn masterfully weaves multiple plot threads together, creating a tapestry of interconnected storylines that build tension and anticipation.Si, el libro está bien escrito, los personajes nuevos molan, y dentro de lo que cabe intenta mostrar un poco más de grises entre los rebeldes y no poner a todos los Imperiales de malosos (Pellaeon un grande), pero se nota que es hija de su tiempo y que esto es solo el principio y que sigue demasiado la estela de las primeras pelis que eran mas aventuras todo el rato de Han, Leia y Luke. While they were stuck with the blandjob Talon Karrde in the first book, Garm Bel Iblis is much more interesting. Pero me crie con las precuelas, Clone Wars (la de 2-D, no la otra), los videojuegos de la época 2000/2010, los comics de Tiempos Oscuros y las Guerras Clon. Ten minutes ago, the ground forces surrounding the target had reported themselves ready; the Chimaera itself had been holding blockade position for nearly an hour. To his character repertoire, Zahn adds Garm Bel Iblis, a former Senator from Corellia--and rival to Mon Mothma.
