Star Wars Memories 9: Heir To The Empire

Though this novel now carries the Legends  banner, in 1992 this book fed the flame of fandom with thousands of fans.

Zahn was given the job of taking our Star Warriors some place we hadn't been before: The Future.  This novel is set five years after the events of  Return of The Jedi. 

  Zahn gave us a thrilling adventure in this trilogy and two very important characters to the Legends universe: Mara Jade and Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Zahn is a fantastic world builder. his narrative language is stellar and very action packed. This is one of my favorite Star Wars novels and I still have the first edition hardcover set.
