Dark Force Rising
Dark Force Rising | Timothy Zahn
28 posts | 72 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
The dying Empire's most cunning and ruthless warlord -- Grand Admiral Thrawn -- has taken command of the remnants of the Imperial fleet and launched a massive campaign aimed at the New Republic's destruction. With the aid of unimaginable weapons long hidden away by the Emperor on a backwater planet, Thrawn plans to turn the tide of battle, overwhelm the New Republic, and impose his iron rule throughout the galaxy. Meanwhile, Han and Lando Calrissian race against time to find proof of treason inside the highest Republican Council -- only to discover instead a ghostly fleet of warships that could bring doom to their friends and victory to their enemies. Yet most dangerous of all is a new Dark Jedi, risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, consumed by bitterness... and scheming to corrupt Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side.

Even better than the first book in the series. Thrawn is an excellent villain, certainly a character that deserves a live action appearance. Of course, is also fantastic to see Luke, Leia, Han and yes, Lando, doing their thing. Zahn is a great storyteller and I look forward to finishing this trilogy and moving on to the next.

With the absolutely super cool awesome and amazing news that we are getting a live action Thrawn I have to spend at least part of the weekend continuing the original Thrawn trilogy. Loved the first book and the tagged book, it‘s sequel, does not disappoint so far.

Old school Star Wars at it's best.

The unabridged audiobook for this second novel in the Thrawn trilogy is held to the same standards as the first, all the while feeling as if the stakes and quality were elevated even more.

This novel manages to bring so much humanity to characters throughout and I cannot wait to see how this trilogy concludes!

I‘m loving Leia and Luke a ton, but I‘m also excited to see what happens with Mara Jade and Grand Admiral Thrawn!

Some #NCBDs are just bigger…and better…especially those when you go to pick up your comics and then come home with some new books too because one of the employees is as big a Star Wars fan, if not bigger, as you are and always holds new editions for you. Yeah, I really, really love my comic books shop.

Another exciting Star Wars adventure. It seemed scattered at first, everyone running off on different missions, but it came together wonderfully as the New Republic raced to reach the Katana fleet before the Empire. Nice ominous cliffhanger sets up the final book of the trilogy. 5 🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫.

Directly ahead, the star was a marble shaped yellow-orange ball, its intensity moderated by its distance and by the viewport's automatic sunscreens.

1. Working that day, so no plans. I might have a drink after work to celebrate.
2. I know this is the middle book of a trilogy, but I wish the pace would pick up a bit, fewer subplots and storyline tangents going off in different directions.

I have now finished the second of Timothy Zahn‘s Star Wars trilogy and I have to admit I‘m getting sad. The second book was much better than the first, and has me upset that I only have one left. The humor, relationships, and action so far have felt like a page-turning soap opera and I‘m not ready for it to end! (Don‘t read this page if you haven‘t read the book- it‘s the last page!!)

Momma_Jo Absolutely love Zahn. 5y
Madelpadel @Momma_Jo I wasn‘t sure how I felt about him at first. The first book is rather imperfect, but the second was incredible! Now I‘m sad that I‘m on the last of the trilogy because I don‘t want it to end 😢 5y
Momma_Jo This triology by Zahn was my introduction to the Star Wars extended universe. I was so excited when I found out about it. It's been years since I read it. Over a decade actually.... 5y

An amazing addition to the Star Wars epic! The second installment continues to reveal the machinations of perhaps the best antagonist of the Star Wars universe, Grand Admiral Thrawn. Anyone who loves the classic Star Wars canon (now called “Legends“) will enjoy this series immensely.

I had fun with this #AlphabetBookishQuiz, although I had more trouble coming up with my answers than I thought I would... it‘s not like my parents named me “Quentin” or “Xavier”?! 😂

These books are bizarre but fun. Book 2 was definitely better than book 1. I‘ve read so much of the current Star Wars Disney canon that I‘m excited to be only at the beginning of this part, even if it doesn‘t link with the movies. Leia as a beginner Jedi and force user is amazing, I love it. Listened on audio, by far the best way to experience Star Wars fiction ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finally picked up my kindle again after what feels like years of road-tripping. Nothing like a quick little classic Star Wars novel to relax with for the evening!

This is the sequel to Heir to the Empire. Zahn is so good at foreshadowing and creating puzzles for his characters to solve.

So much fun! Well written, action packed. Love Zahn‘s interpretation of these characters and this universe. It‘s been amazing to see Thrawn‘s roots. Can‘t wait to read the next book

Finally finished painting and antiquing the second of my now bright green goodwill chairs for my kitchen. I didn‘t get much reading done this weekend. There was quite a lot of Diablo III and some household chores.

Finally finished this book! I've had an eventful 6 months or so. Hardly any time to read, and very difficult to get in the right mental state to read, but I made it. This was the 2nd part of the Thrawn Trilogy. I'm reading other books between installments bc that's just how I do, but I do have part 3 already and am anxious to see how it all turns out for my beloved Star Wars characters

Bradleygirl Yay for the first sequels! Zahn's Luke is my jam 7y

Thoroughly impressive audio narration. Fun listening, and part of one of the best, if not *the* best, series in the Star Wars EU.

I've been in a bit of a book slump. The only time I seem to have for reading these days is in the morning as I chug my coffee before heading to work. I decided to pick something propelling and familiar, so Star Wars!

Today is my Saturday. I'm relaxing at a local cafe until I take my husband to the airport. He's going on vacation in Europe and I'm staying home with the pup and my books. Call me crazy, but i didn't even wanna go lol. I hate flying, and I'd miss my sweet pupper. Colorado has everything I need to see. I'll just read about the rest thank you.
