The story takes place before the Rebel Alliance is formed so there aren't any epic battle or familiar rebel characters. The story, however, does a great job showing the Empire in it's earlier days and the life of people within the Empire.
Zahn wrote Thrawn as a stunning character who never ceased to surprise, outwit and display an incredible intellect and strategic mind throughout the story.
The closest thing I can liken the character Thrawn to is the modern adaptations of Sherlock Holmes.
The book also foreshadows new stories and threats from the unknown region that I hope play a larger role in the future of the Star Wars franchise!
A Great Origin Story

The book definitely starts inauspiciously: the express goal of this project is to develop a character (and literally NOTHING ELSE). The "events" in the novel are largely inconsequential (and perhaps overly involved), far too many characters are introduced, and political maneuvering and intrigue (generally pretty dry subject matter) is integral to the storyline. Realistically, I should have lost interest as this doomed-to-be-boring novel progressed.. but I didn’t.
Zahn drives a nice pace and somehow keeps a necessarily weak (characterization-driven) plot immersive. The descriptions are vivid, the dialogue is believable, and characters are complex. In fact, the author masterfully manages the drawbacks inherent in the book's explanatory mandate.
Marc Thompson is a genuinely effective reader. Individual character voices are easily recognizable - despite a Huge number of them. Other than for female characters (he sucks at those), Thompson uses accents and tone effectively (without overdoing it). He furthermore exhibits exemplary timbre and has a brilliant sense of pacing.
Another potential killer: This recording makes *generous* use of sound effects and music [there is quiet setting-based background noise, for example (machinery hum on Star Destroyers; insect buzzing on planet surfaces; crowd noises at functions; etc.)]. But it turns out to be a nice touch without being intrusive. This recording (full of blaster/explosion simulations and burdened with DOZENS of characters) risks being overproduced.. but Random House Audio and Mr Thompson hold back admirably.
Altogether, this book is surprisingly good. The topic should be boring, the narration should be overloaded with characters, and the sound engineers should be overenthusiastic. Instead, we are treated to a deftly executed treat. You don’t even need to be a diehard to enjoy it (I have never watched 'Star Wars: Rebels', for example). I give this engrossing SciFi effort 9.5 stars out of 10. I look forward to the second installment in the Trilogy (featuring now 'Grand Admiral' Thrawn).
Entertaining Addition to the Star Wars Mythos
