The Last Command

*No spoilers*

I finished the Thrawn Trilogy last night with the completion of the third book The Last Command. In a word - unbelievable! Absolutely the best anything to carry the name Star Wars I've ever read. Zahn has surpassed Daley as my go-to for personal canon. This trilogy really captures the magic I felt back in 1977. Command was particularly hard to put down. The character depth of Luke, Mara, and Leia was fantastic. The character arc of Mara made the novel for me. Zahn is definitely Star Wars for adults. No doubt the Thrawn Trilogy will be a yearly read for me.

Next up is Spectre Of The Past, which I started literally about 60 seconds after I finished Last Command, around 3:00 AM last night. My EU and personal canon continue to grow. Reviews as the rest are completed.

Side note; Last Command also carries a second distinction in my world. It was my first foray into e-books. My thoughts so far are that nothing can replace an actual book, but I was much more comfortable with it than I thought I'd be.

I have the Thrawn trilogy in paperback, but decided to give Kindle reading a try with Command so I could read later into the night without keeping anyone awake with my book light. It went well enough after a day, so I went ahead and downloaded Spectre and Vision. I'll get used paperbacks for travel, but electronic is going to be fine also.

Glad you enjoyed it Anchor. Out of all three The Last Command remains my favourite (aside from the contrived Luuke Clone).
