L'Héritier de l'Empire 2/2

The Empire is dying; but like a dog near death, the Empire is at its most dangerous, ready to lash out with nothing to lose. Grand Admiral Thrawn may have found just the firepower needed to take a bite out of the New Republic: some two hundred Dreadnaught heavy cruisers, lost to hyperspace in the days of the Old Republic. Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca may be up against more than they bargained for, but it's not the first time the odds have been stacked against them!

With Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda both dead, Luke Skywalker is in need of a new Jedi mentor -- and he finds one in C'Baoth. Risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, C'Baoth may prove to be just the teacher Luke needs to deliver the final blow to Grand Admiral Thrawn's ailing Empire. Or he may be the Empire's last hope for turning the tide ...

The Empire is dying, perhaps in its final throes. But like a dog near death, that's when it is most dangerous, when it will lash out with nothing to lose. The ruthless warlord Grand Admiral Thrawn may have found just the firepower needed to take a bite out of the New Republic: Some two hundred Dreadnaught heavy cruisers, lost to hyperspace in the days of the Old Republic. Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca may be up against more than they bargained for, but it's not the first time the odds have been stacked against them!.

Risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, the Jedi Master C'Baoth teaches Luke Skywalker new ways to use the Force, ways which allow him to control others. Ways commonly used on the dark side of the Force.

Luke's new mentor, Jedi Master C'Baoth, is teaching him new ways to use the Force, ways that seem . . . inappropriate. But ways that may become necessary in light of the fact that Grand Admiral Thrawn has taken command of the remnants of the Imperial fleet.

The Katana fleet, almost two hundred Dreadnaught heavy cruisers, were lost to hyperspace in the days of the Old Republic. Now the Empire wants the cruisers so they can regain power. The New Republic wants the ships to crush the Empire for good. And Talon Karrde is the only man who knows where to find the lost fleet, which could either be an invitation to fortune . . . or a bargaining chip at his execution.

It all comes down to this, a showdown over the Katana fleet. The Rebels and Imperials have both located the abandoned Dreadnaughts, and each is looking to outgun the other, take the fleet, and direct the galaxy to their way of thinking. Odds this round are on Grand Admiral Thrawn. He has a trick up his sleeve, one not seen since the end of the Clone Wars. One that could spark a second round of the Clone Wars!

The tyranny has ended. But what will take its place? It is now five years after Return of the Jedi. Leia and Han are married and have shouldered heavy burdens in the government of the New Republic. And Luke Skywalker is the first in a hoped-for new line of Jedi Knights. But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor's warlords, Grand Admiral Thrawn, has taken command of the remains of the Imperial fleet. Thrawn has made two vital discoveries that could destroy the Rebel Alliance's New Republic. The tale that emerges is a towering epic of action, invention, mystery, and a spectacle of galactic scale -- in short, a story that is worthy of the name Star Wars.

Five years after the Empire's defeat in Return of the Jedi, the forces of the Empire have rallied. Even as Luke Skywalker searches for Jedi to join him in the inevitable battle, Grand Admiral Thrawn, the last of the Emperor's warlords, schemes with Joruus C'Baoth to end the battle before it can begin. Out-manned, out-numbered, and sorely out-gunned, Luke fears there is no hope. It's up to him to challenge Thrawn, the heir to the Empire.

When an Imperial assassin puts Leia in his cross-hairs, Chewbacca crosses the galaxy to take Leia to a place of safety. But there are things in the galaxy that are worse than being assassinated, and "safety" is only relative.

Luke Skywalker's Jedi senses have been struck blind! To make matters worse, Grand Admiral Thrawn has just arranged to receive a shipment of creatures capable of pushing back the power of the Force. Thrawns's purpose: to ambush Luke and turn him over to the dark Jedi Master, Joruus C'baoth!

Mara Jade has survived for most of her life among the worst riffraff in the galaxy. Years ago, she posed as a dancer in the decadent court of the late Jabba the Hutt. It was there that she first witnessed Luke's awesome powers of Jedi mind-control. Now, in the steaming jungles of Myrkr, Luke and Artoo are Jade's helpless captives. Jade is determined to finish off her Jedi prisoner -- once she's finished stripping him of his Jedi secrets!

Luke Skywalker has been bereft of the Force for some time now, and has had to rely on his wits and cunning to stay out of the hands of the Imperials. Now, disguised as a bounty hunter with the beautiful and lethal Mara Jade as his prisoner, he has to find Captain Talon Karrde, rescue Han from the Empire's clutches, and reunite with the other architects of the Rebellion. But even if Luke and Han prevail, the Rebellion may be on the verge of destruction, unraveling itself in a bloody civil war!
