Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting Jedi Twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights. But thousand of light-years away, the last of the emperor's warlords has taken command of the shattered Imperial Fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the new Republic. For this dark warrior has made two vital discoveries that could destroy everything the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance fought so hard to build. The explosive confrontation that results is a towering epic of action, invention, mystery, and spectacle on a galactic scale--in short, a story worthy of the name <i>Star Wars.</i> 1133995 1991 Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, #1) total:3898|5:1328|4:1496|3:858|2:187|1:29| 3898 15601 4578 227 3 9 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Sat May 10 17:20:55 -0700 2008 Sat May 10 17:50:51 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Nov 25 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 23 16:19:55 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 17:01:29 -0800 2008
