About this audiobook
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.

The story is very well crafted and the new characters fit well with it. The best of the new ones is Mara Jade. Don't get me wrong Thrawn is a terrific villain but Mara is more interesting. But what makes it so enjoyable to listen to is Marc Thompson's narration, he has a true gift.

Very entertaining. There are some concepts introduced that I don't like about the lore or the stat wars universe, but otherwise it was a good story with great characters.

Possibly the greatest star wars book written... And Timothy has written no shortage of good ones.
