Star Wars: The Hand of Thrawn Duology, Timothy Zahn (3.0)
Like most ‘Star Wars’ fans, I generally find Timothy Zahn’s
books to be the truest voices of the characters. Given that, I was disappointed
in this two-book follow-up to his Thrawn trilogy. While the main characters are
true to what you expect, and there were some interesting action scenes, the
plot felt contrived. The idea that all the important characters would put
themselves in grave danger in order to get a data-card with questionable information
that might, just might, stop various New Republic aliens from fighting each
other, seemed implausible. While I found the cloning aspects of the plot very
clever, the overall Hand of Thrawn, once unveiled, was a disappointment.
Overall, I liked the R. A. Salvatore books (Vector Prime) much better with
their new and original antagonists.
