Timothy Zahn - Vision of the Future

Pros: Some major developments in the Star Wars galaxy.
Cons: Over long, short on action.

You really have to hand it to Timothy Zahn. He definitely goes for the sweeping and grandiose in his Star Wars novels, and in that respect, Vision of the Future is certainly no exception. Concluding the two-part Hand of Thrawn ...

Pros: Timothy Zahn's usual  reader-friendly style. Good characterizations. 
Cons: Ending is okay but not impressive

It is a time of peril for the New Republic.Although 19 years have passed since Luke Skywalker left Tatooine and destroyed the Empire's first Death Star at Yavin, and even though the Galactic Empire now holds only a handful of star systems, ...

Pros: Great duology finish, lots of references to other Star Wars books/storylines.
Cons: none

The release of the Caamas Document has pushed the New Republic to the brink of civil war as many races take sides on the punishment of the Bothans for their role in the destruction of Caamas. Armadas of starships lie in wait above the Bothan ...

Pros: Timothy Zahn, elaborate plot
Cons: Books weren't out on paperback for quite a while

"Vision of the Future" is the second book of the "Hand of Thrawn" series. The first book of this two part set is "Specter of the Past" which for some reason I can not find anywhere here at Epinions. The books wrap up...

Pros: As usual, the pieces fit together in the end
Cons: The little thing about the Bothawui Fire Dept.

Vision of the Future is the second part of a two book series that follows up Zahn's earlier trilogy ( Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command ). Most of the usual characters are there ( Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke, Lando Calrissian,...

Pros: written by Timothy Zahn, Star Wars
Cons: uh........nothing

In the second book of this excellent duology everybody is still fighting over the Caamas document (the buildup of warships orbiting Bothawui has increased). Han and Leia take a “vacation” on Pakrik Minor and find a cell of Imperial sleeper clones of ………...

Pros: It's probably one of the best Star Wars books ever
Cons: Only really for die-hard Star Wars fans

As far as Star Wars books go, this is ace. It's got all of the classic elements that made the original trilogy of films so great. There's dogfights, Jedis and, best of all, the Empire, possibly the coolest thing about Star Wars. However, if you are not a...

Pros: Fast paced/great story line.
Cons: Should've been a trilogy, not a duology.

Oh man! Where do you begin with this book ? First, it is the ultimate in the Star Wars expanded universe. Timothy Zahn has given closure to a great duology, starting with Specter of the Past. Even though it has been just under a year since I've read this...

Pros: Mara and Luke hooking up
Cons: Too long

Timothy Zahn is one of my favorite Star Wars author, next to Michael Stackpole. So when I heard he was writing a new series, I immediately rushed out to the store to buy them. Specter Of The Past was OK, but the ending left several questions that made me...

Pros: the return of familiar characters
Cons: some characters recieve little airtime

Timothy Zahn is probably the most respected author in the star wars universe. He introduced us to Mara Jade, Talon Karde, the Noghri, and gave us the unforgetable Grand Admirl Thrawn. Zahn is back with the follow up to "Specter of the Past"....

Pros: good plot, good detail, good ending
Cons: Callista dissed, Thrawn issued closed forever, gotto read the first book first

This is the second book in the Hand of Thrawn series written by Timothy Zahn. It follows very closely with his Thrawn Trilogy. Zahn is a very good writer. However, I found myself having to push myself to read the first book in the series just like...
