Where Do I Start

I am new to the EU, I want to get a book or a trilogy of books. Which one should i get? Any recomendations? I am thinking of SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE?

 

Start with the Timothy Zahn Trilogy also called the Heir To The Empire series(title of first book out of 3)

Welcome to the EU.You have taking your first step to a much larger world.

PM me if you need more help.

 

Is it a trilogy then

1, Shadows Of The Empire
2, Heir To The Empire

What is the third?

And i forgot to say, thank you for the warm welcome!!

 

Well if you want to start Chronologically read Splinter of the Minds Eye. But If you want to get right into the action, The before mention Thrawn Triology is a great place to start.

 

Vector Prime. Skip the empire. Meet the Vong

Axl.

 

SkywalkerDude: The third book is called The Last Command .

And I heartily recommend the X-wing books, but that's just because I like them. If you don't like stories that don't focus around the movie characters, don't bother with them.

 

Shadows of the Empire.

Empire first. Vong later.

 

Thawn Trilogy?

What are the three books called in order?

I need to buy them at a book store owned by an old woman, if i ask for the thawn trilogy she wont have a clue what im on about

 

So it is:

1, Heir To The Empire
2, Shadows Of The Empire
3, The Last Command

Is this correct?

 

Heir to the empire
Dark force rising
The last command

Axl.

 

Sorry, it's:

1. Heir to the Empire
2. Dark Force Rising
3. The Last Command

These are set 5 years post-ROTJ.

Shadows of the Empire is a book that comes between ESB and ROTJ.

EDIT: Axl beat me to it!

 

Shadows is a single book.

The second is called Dark Force Rising.

 

Isn't that what i just said?

Axl.

 

No one Cares What you just said Axl Any way, Try the X-wing books if you start with the Empire.

 

If you like a good laugh, read the X-Wing: Wraith Squadron series by Aaron Allston. Many laughs will follow.

 

X-Wing, Stackpole's books.

 

Then ive amde 5000 posts for nothing?

Axl.

 

Go for the X-wing series. I've been a EU for awhile and i just finished reading them. They are the best.

 

In a sense no. You've made 5000 posts to just now be recognized by a fellow JCer. Maybe in another 5000 posts you'll be recognized again,
