I have always loved the Star Wars universe and especially the novels that were written about it. Timothy Zahn definitely writes my favorite books about it. His stories fit quite well within the framework of the existing Star Wars world while adding something new and extra to it. I like his writing style and characterizations a great deal. (

I love everything about this set of novels. Political intrigue, moral dilemmas, romance...excellent work again, Zahn! Plus, the audiobook once again is FABULOUS. (

This is the second of a two book series by Zahn with the first one being STAR WARS: SPECTER OF THE PAST. And Zahn continues to demonstrate superior character growth, more complex plots, and a vision that is more in line with the Star Wars universe than most of the other Star Wars authors. This picks up from the previous novel and continues with Thrawn's reappearence and his subsequent attempts to rule the Empire. My only real regret, and I seem to do this all the time, is that I didn't read the two books back-to-back. I know that I lose a lot of details about what has happened in the first book and the first 100 pages or so are me picking it all back up again. (

With the Caamas issue still raging on a civil war, the New Republic has no choice but to find a copy of the Caamas Document no matter the risk. The New Republic sends officials to bastion, pilots to Bothawui, a slicer to an Imperial station, and smugglers to another smuggler all in attempt of retrieving this one document. Bantam Spectra’s Vision of the Future is book two of the Hand of Thrawn duology by award winning Timothy Zahn, author of the historic Thrawn Trilogy. The book masterly plays out the plots and schemes from book one, skilfully reveals plot twists, and answers all unanswered questions from book one of the duology, Spectre of the Past, which definitely did not displease. Vision of the Future is also known to be the novel with the most pages currently out of any other star wars novel. (
