Reffering to the fact that they hadn't had any amry in over 1000 years and the snow capped mountains things. That's Lucas' fault, he worked very closely with Zahn through out the entire series. It's stupid that he didn't follow what he told Zahn when it came to the PT. You shouldn't be mad at Zahn you should be mad a Lucas for blowing off the EU.

As for mountains, I think of them as a series of pyramidal shaped buildings with snow on the rooftops. Looks similar, and for Coruscant with "valleys" and "canyons" it works.

*Spoilers Below*
A terrific start to the TTT. It makes want to read more and find out the solution tho our Heros. And with Han's genius idea of starting up the mole miner ships at the end! Pure genius. And the cliffhanger at the end! Ackbar has been, Gasp, arrested for treason! Great book!
But Zahn maybe should of checked back to other storylines towards the end. C'boath toatlly disappeared to that one planet and he just sat there. Leia was abandoned for a while because of the Mykr stuff. And they should really consider changing the paper back cover because C'boath isn't that central to the story then say Lando. But it was a cool cover. Overall i loved every minute of it.

This is by far the best Star Wars book ever printed
I gave this one a 10
Zahn gives incredible details about the characters such as Thrawn and made me just love star wars books in general.

10, of course. He really captured the atmpsphere and feeling of the movies, as far as I'm concerned.
"his use of detail and description is almost laughably repetitive sometimes,"
Well, I always liked his desciptions and didn't find them repetitive. But then I don't mind things being descibed. What I like is that he does NOT describe all feelings and motivations all the time. The ultimate need to explain such things on the spot (as if we couldn't figure it out by ourselves more often than not) is what really got on my nerves by KJA. I love Zahn for letting me have my own ieads about it (and even for having me groping ain the dark for reasons, he'll surely clear things up later)

Hello, Everyone.
I'm nearly halfway through this book (the furthest I've ever been into it). Bought it waaay back when it was originally released, tried about 3 times to get into it but put it down each time. I even donated all the hardcover copies to a library I lived near. The one I have now is a paperback but it suits me just fine.
Perhaps I'm getting way ahead of myself but can anyone point me toward what will be the next "Star Wars revival" book after the Thrawn series? I like "Heir to the Empire" much better than I thought I would (after those initial attempts to read it years ago). Am curious to know what should be next.
I'm sad that Mr. Lucas says there will be no Episode VII, VIII & IX movies. I heard the rumors about them sometime before The Empire Strikes Back originally hit the theatres. Getting into the books is my attempt at making up for the "no more movies" sadness.
I wish we could see Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Billy Dee Williams & all our other original trilogy favorites reprise their roles in movies set 22 years or so after Return of the Jedi. The building of the New Republic. The rebirth of the Jedi Order. Luke as the new "Master Yoda" (figuratively, of course). Perhaps the war (and victory) against the Yuzhan Vong.
But I digress. Again, my question is: What is next for Star Wars fans after "The Last Command"? Thanx in advance to anyone who can offer help toward this question.
May the Force be with you.
Jay Tee

A great trilogy...second only to the Bounty Hunter Wars by KW Jeter. Just finished TTT this morning, and it was awesome! Highly Recommended!!!

They said there were stupid people on the internet, I think I have found them.
People value their own opinions more than facts.
People don't like the truth, it screws with their personal reality.

This book was the first I read of the SW universe - I think I was 12 when I read it, and I LOVED it. It's the only reason I got into Star Wars, and it made me like the movies more. Zahn's writing is a nice mix of technical juxtaposed with a lot of action and heroism, just enough to keep the good guys from being Mary/Gary Su/Stus. Plus, he brought us Fey'la, Karrde, and the Solo twins.
My favorite book by far.
