I don't recall precisely, but I think it's actually in the midst of a dream relatively early on while he's traveling through the jungle with Nick Rostu to meet Vastor and Depa.

I'd find it for you, but my copy is in Oklahoma, and I'm in Colorado at the moment, so it's a trifle difficult to do.

In any case, that's really retrospective foreshadowing in real world terms, given it was written by Stover after he wrote the Yuuzhan Vong doing that to Coruscant. So it's not technically foreshadowing if you read them in publishing order, though it works if it's read in chronological order - and the reference works well either way.

The Thrawn Trilogy foreshadowed Hand of Thrawn when Borsk was nervously wondering what was found in Mt. Tantiss.



I actually read the HoT books before I read the original trilogy. Needless to say I was amused by that line.

I was re-reading the NJO and while in Onslaught i notice and intresting bit of foreshadowing that i never noticed the first two times through.

Pg. 53 posted:
Ganner angrily scratched at his clothes and slaped at garnants. "They're everywhere." A shiver ran down Corran's spine as he caught a mental image of the Yuuzhan Vong swarming over Ganner the way the insects were.


Obviously I am thinking of his last stand in the Well of the World Brain. But it came to me that every now and then we her someone bring up a similar case off forshadowing, but we havnt had a thread dedicated to the topic. So i felt we needed one. So bring any of you foreshadows that you have found over the years. I look forward to hopfully reading some of them.



I asked MWS about this last year, and he said it was just a coincidence.

Heres one I found while re reading The Joiner King (pg 251):

Jacen deflected the bolts with his palms, then reached out with the Force and jerked the blaster rifles from their hands.


Shades of Grandpa in ESB, anyone?

This is probably a stretch, but still...

The reflection of the Sith's gold-orange eyes disappeared-and then the Sith himself vanished, ghost-like.

But there was a sound from beyond where he had stood, a slight scrape, and another figure moved forward into view. This one walked, as the Sith had, in a fashion appropriate for a standard-gravity environment, and stepped out to stand where the Sith had stood.

He was not tall, but he was well muscled and agile. He wore black pants, tunic, boots, and gloves, and held an unlit lightsaber.

His features were those of Luke Skywalker, but rakishly bearded and twisted into a grin that was all malice and scorn.

"Not nice," Jacen said.
Looks like Cade to me.

I just read that passage last night. If it hadn't been for the names I'd have thought it was a Clone Wars book with Anakin bleeting on.
