Whoa! Awesome find! And by none less than Timothy Zahn I'm hoping this starts a lasting trend of continuing TS novels. For those who don't know, and for those who do remember, it was a Star Wars novel Trilogy - "Heir to the Empire" written by Timothy Zahn that literally kickstarted and revived the Star Wars universe in the form of new Expanded Universe novels. While the original movie trilogy was re-released theatrically, the novels gave the fans a new breath of fresh air and introduction to the star wars universe by expanding it considerably with new adventures of Luke, Han and Leia. The West End Games company was quick to follow, launching its d6 roleplaying game version of SW. (Heir to The Empire featured the expanded universe characters such as Mara Jade, Talon Karrde, and Grand Admiral Thrawn, a non-human humanoid blue skinned Chiss species) Ok, Star Wars aside, but following its example, I really hope this launches a TS novel series. After the T2 movie, a few books followed, some good, some not that great, but it just didn't seem to have staying power - perhaps on part of the author's taking a little too much creative liberty and freedom and an utter lack of project direction.
