Loved all of it.

Great book. This is the first chronical appearance of Thrawn.

A literary masterpiece. It evokes excitement, suspense, and in the end, creates a great emotional bond the the characters.

Having not read the Thrawn books I think I was missing alot, but this was a pretty good book anyway. I loved how Palpatine used his mechanations to keep Anakin safe for his future plans by getting him off the Outbound Flight. The story overall was very intersting and different than alot of Star Wars books. I loved Thrawn and look forward to getting around to the other novels he is in. Maube then this story will mean more to me.

At the end of the book there is a small short story called Mist Encounter. Maybe this can be made into a full book? Please? I am a big fan of Timothy Zhan's work.
