Book Description
It's five years after Return of the Jedi: the Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven out the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy. 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 Star Wars.

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03
Some years after the events in the Star Wars movie, the New Republic is
beginning to encounter political problems, and having to deal with
governing and routing out rebels.
Along comes something nastier. A grand admiral of the Empire, with
a very potent battle fleet at his command, and a very impressive
ability to utilise it.
The beginning of the publishing of 100 billion books of what I suppose you could call '21st century pulp'.
This series is pretty decent, however.
awful.......2007-08-23
i can't believe people like this book.it's realy awful.and i bought this book when there was no new star wars books out and i was starving for something new from star wars.i would keep reading the old brian dalye or alan dean foster books.but i guess being spoiled by those writers reading zahn's book coulnd only be a dissapointment.and i really wanted to like this book.he just copies too much from the other writers instead of making something new.i mean an old jedi master.hey people use your brain trying to make another obi-wan character,sheesh!.
best of the Star Wars stories.......2007-06-24
Heir To The Empire is part one of The Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn. This trilogy is set 5 years after Return of the Jedi. Han Solo and Princess Leia are married and are expecting Jedi twins. The Empire, lead by Grand Admiral Thrawn (best villian since Vader), plan to capture Leia and turn her and her twins to the Dark Side of the Force. Very highly recommended.
The Thrawn Trilogy consists of:
The Heir To The Empire
Dark Force Rising
The Last Command
Readable but annoyingly written continuation of original trilogy.......2007-06-13
My curiosity finally got the better of me, so I decided I would read the official continuation of the Star Wars story post Return of the Jedi. It starts out familiarizing the reader with a glossing over of the post Death Star V2 Emperor defeat happenings and jumps right into the activities of the new self appointed head of the Imperial forces, Admiral Thrawn who has been successfully raiding New Republic bases and supply lines. He has a plan to reinsert the Empire into their previous spot as bully overlord of the galaxy and Heir to the Empire is the jumping off point for this story, which takes three books to wrap up.
First off, it's an easy read. The story flows at a pretty good pace and seems to match the films in this respect. There are plenty of new characters that are realized relatively well and only seem out of place sometimes by name more than anything else. Some of the names of the characters just don't seem appropriate for Star Wars and it can be a little distracting, but not terribly so. What is more distracting however, and what makes these books less successful for me, is the lazy writing of the author. He can only describe moods with lip characterizations and most of the time, it's of the "so and so's lip twisted" variety, like...
Han is mad: His lip twists
Luke is worried: His lip twists
Leia is frightened: Her lip twists
Luke is determined: His lip twists
C3PO is acting dandy: His... Just kidding (Zahn probably had to hold himself back none the less)
He also comes up with new ideas of how to describe things and just starts using them all of a sudden but doesn't go back to insert them into earlier parts of the book. It's just weird when a character starts using a phrase all of a sudden, frequently, and they never used it for the first half of the book. How hard would it be to go back and place it in earlier parts of the book to make the character's use of language consistent?
And don't get me started on the Mynocks! "The thingy took off like a Mynock with a scorched tail." "It fell to the ground like a clipped Mynock." "He chortled like a bemused Mynock." "She ate like an anorexic Mynock."... and on and on.
Additionally,these characters, and maybe this was unavoidable but I don't think so, live completely in the past that is the 3 prequels. They are not given much of a life before them, in memory, so all of their recall harks back to the films (like we need to be reminded what happened) and that gets old real quick. Everything is "this is just like it happened on the Death Star" or "don't you remember what he did at Mos Eisley?" or "Luke thought back to the cave on Daigobah." Where's that extra mystery of the stuff we didn't see? It's like sitting around a bunch of people who only reminisce about a small period in their lives... Enough!
Well, I guess I'm trying to say that Heir to the Empire is not very well written, but the story is relatively interesting, easy to read, and, well, it tells us what happens to Luke and all of the rest after Return of the Jedi. I imagine a lot of people don't expect to find something literate in a book like this, but, maybe just once, I would like to be surprised.
Best of a shot-in-the-dark lot.......2007-05-27
Star Wars novels are often hit or miss, with many of them being completely unappealing to non-star wars nerds. Speaking as one of those nerds, I've read quite a few of the Star Wars novels, and the entire Hand of Thrawn trilogy is one of the few that stands on it's own not just as a good Star Wars series, but as an excellent general science fiction story as well. Timothy Zahn has an eye for detail that escapes most authors of any genre, and has carefully crafted a fantastic story that has something for every reader to enjoy.
The trilogy focuses both on the difficulties of setting up a new government to replace the old Empire, the number of things still mysterious and unknown even in a well-known universe, and the artful style with which a true strategist could use the resources of the Star Wars universe.
If I could rate it higher than five stars, I would.
Book Description

Perfect tool for GM.......2007-08-13
This book is one of the best products by Warhammer I have ever seen.
As a GM I use it as often as "Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: A Grim World of Perilous Adventure" or PH (Player's Handbook). ))
You have lots of useful information on history, politics, society etc of the Empire.
Very Informative.......2007-08-03
This book helps with the background, history, beliefs, people breakdowns, and other useful informationon the Empire. the map could be a little more expansiveas some things in descriptions are not shown onthe map, but otherwise it is quite interesting and one of the first books a Gamemaster should get if running in the Empire.
A Great Sourcebook.......2007-05-14
Too many roleplaying games release expansions that are little more than addenda to the rules comprising of pages upon pages of extra classes, feats and the like with setting information getting a few paragraphs here and there. Sigmar's Heirs reverses this trend - mechanics and rules take a backseat to the exploration of the Empire. All of the Imperial provinces are covered in detail, including local sites of interest, personalities and the like. The Empire itself is also covered including religion, politics and history. The core rulebook isn't required to derive use from this book, it's great for pleasure reading or as an idea mine for your game.
A great resource.......2006-04-21
This is a great resource for those people who aren't as familiar with the setting. It also brings those familiar to the setting form older books up to date with the current time line. While I'd have like to see a little more for the price it's invaluable for the GM. As well as a fun read for the player with a bit of extra cash who wants to understand the setting better.
Great Information Book for WFRP.......2006-03-14
I was very please with SH and the background material it provided. Not having many supplements from WFB or from v1, SH provided excellent history on the provinces of the empire. Additionally it talked about the current state of the provinces after the Storm of Chaos.
The one thing I was hoping to have in the book it a bit more maps, paticular of each province.
For new players, this book will be a very good addition to the core rules. Longtime players of v1 and WFB will like the updates for the SoC stuff and consolodated information, but it is not a must buy.

An enjoyable read........2007-09-01
The author shows creativity and the ability to produce a multi-volume tale worth enjoying. Read it from the beginning and anticipate the sequels.
= Off Armageddon Reef.......2007-02-22
Have you read Off Armageddon Reef (OAR)? This book is the start of a new series and came out in January 2007. Weber has chosen to take the trilogy of Mutineer's Moon, Armageddon Inheritance and Heirs of Empire (HE), and rewrite them into OAR and future efforts. Cynically, one might wonder if he is taking the easy route and recycling old laundry. The trilogy came out in the early 90s and seemed moderately successful. If I recall, they were paperbacks. But OAR is in hardcover and has appeared as a large print run. In the major bookstores, OAR has a strong presence at the entrances. It may be that in the intervening years since the trilogy, Weber has gotten more popular, especially with his Honor Harrington tomes. So now he has decided to reroll the dice. The original trilogy is still mostly in print. Rereleasing it in more copies might only have a moderate boost to sales. Perhaps then the rewrite into OAR.
Anyhow, the bulk of OAR maps strikingly into HE. Both concern a planet where humans have fallen to a medieval level of technology, forgetting that man ever existed elsewhere. There is a corrupt, bloodthirsty theocracy, wielding vast secular power.
A common backdrop is that out there in space is a terrible enemy, seeking to exterminate humans. OAR uses one android as the protagonist, while HE has 4 humans and a friendly alien. Both books have the hero/heroes introduce innovations, especially in weaponry, to friendly indigenous forces. The battle scenes in HE are on land, while in OAR, they are mostly at sea. If you have read the General series by Stirling and Drake, or Janissaries by Pournelle, then you'll like the narrative conflicts of HE. In depth, they do not quite match the battle descriptions of those other books. But still well done.
OAR does seem slightly better done than HE, in the detailed care that Weber takes to build out the plot. There is much more description of the OAR world and the multifarious characters, especially in the different countries. HE could also have done with a map of the planet. OAR is careful to furnish this to aid the reader, as well as a list of personas. HE doesn't really need the latter, since less space is devoted to building out these secondary characters.
Terrific finale - I WANT MORE!.......2007-02-01
In the finale to the "Dahak" series by David Weber, Colin's first children grow up and enter the Fleet themselves. When their ship is sabotaged on their middy flight, they must make their way to an unknown planet, find a way home and - while they are at it - settle a religious conflict that they accidentally started. Meanwhile back home, Colin and Jiltanith - devastated by what they believe is the loss of their children - discover a plot to destroy their new home planet and overthrow them. Can they stop the destruction of their planet and discover who is plotting against them? Can their children let them know they are alive and find a way home?
This book definitely left me wanting more in this series. Weber is a master, there is no doubt.
almost as good as the 1st two but.......2007-01-04
this book is still great in it's own right but unlike the 1st two, it doesn't merit 5 stars it felt a bit rushed and that kept it from being great
Fun if you can suspend enough disbelief.......2006-06-19
First, if you haven't read the previous two books in the trilogy, you probably need to or a lot of this one won't make much sense - you will wonder why there are apparently two people called Tamman, one of whom is dead (he's the father of the other one), for example.
Second, you need to be prepared to suspend a lot of disbelief. The villain is so good at recruiting cat's-paws that he doesn't need to re-use them but routinely kills them off when they have accomplished one mission for him - this happens over and over again. Yet, with all this recruiting, he never has his organization penetrated by a spy (there's only one successful attempt to do so, and he uses his inside knowledge to foil that one).
Third, if you have read much Weber you may get the impression that (unlike the villain) he is recycling. Brave young woman with an eye patch (Honor Harrington). Imperial heir(s) on planet at lower technological level use superior technological knowledge and military history to fight their way across many kilometres and take over the technological base, slaughtering thousands of natives while deeply respecting their native allies (the Prince Roger trilogy). Enormous spaceships explode killing thousands of crew in an instant (pretty much every Weber book).
And yet, it was fun and I enjoyed it, in a chewing-gum kind of way. Don't start reading Weber with this one, but if you are a fan, you will probably like it a lot.

hmmm, well i didn't buy this book.......2002-10-22
I didn't buy this book but I've read it before
It's a cover of luke holding a light saber , wasn't sure whether it's a combo of all volumes from the trilogy, or just this volume...
Well yeah it's about the heir of the emperor looking for the glove of darth vadar and yada yada...go buy the book if u want to know.
i would say it's mediocre...no large scale battles or military conflicts, basically just stories between the characters...
i still think that George Lucas' Starwars Trilogy are the best...
Zahn's trilogy is too archetypical, nothing really special about it...it's fun to read since it's been authorized as the official continuation of the starwars trilogy by george lucas

Book Description
Premodern Arabic biography has served as a major source for the history of Islamic civilization. In the first book-length study to explore the origins and development of classical Arabic biography, Michael Cooperson demonstrates how Muslim scholars used the notions of heirship and transmission to document the activities of political, scholarly and religious communities. The author also explains how medieval Arab scholars used biography to reconstruct the life stories of important historical figures. He then examines the careers of four of these figures, analyzing their relationships and their place in later biography.

Book Description
Every action, says don Miguel Ruiz, is based on agreements people make - with other people, with God, with life. But the most important agreements are those people make with themselves. In these agreements they tell themselves who they are, how to behave, what is possible, what is impossible. One single agreement is not such a problem, but so many agreements come from fear, deplete energy, and diminish self-worth. In The Four Agreements, don Miguel reveals the source of self-limiting agreements that take away joy and create needless suffering. For those ready to change these agreements, there are four deceptively simple, yet powerful agreements that can be adopted as guiding principles: be impeccable with your word; don't take anything personally; don't make assumptions; and always do your best. These tenets can rapidly transform anyone's life to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.
Customer Reviews:
Love for humankind. .......2007-06-08
Every human being should read this book. It not only takes us on a journey to understand how we feel but also helps you in understanding, accepting and appreciating others. Written in a simple language that makes it very easy to comprehend and absorb. Don Miguel Ruiz has a way with words that captivate you. Once you start reading, you cannot stop. This book was recommended to me by a friend, and the timing was perfect!
Los cuatro acuerdos.......2006-03-17
Primer acuerdo: "Sé impecable con tus palabras".
Segundo: "No te tomes nada personalmente".
Tercero: "No hagas suposiciones".
Cuarto acuerdo: "Haz siempre lo máximo que puedas".
No hay razón para sufrir. La única razón por la que sufres es porque así tú lo eliges. Si observas tu vida encontrarás muchas excusas para sufrir, pero ninguna razón válida. Lo mismo es aplicable a la felicidad. La única razón por la que eres feliz es porque tú decides se feliz. La felicidad es una elección, como también lo es el sufrimiento", estas son algunas de las palabras de Dr, Miguel Ruíz, palabras que claramente descubren no sólo lo que es su propia opción de vida, sino también, lo que será para el lector el contacto con este libro.
¿Cuáles son los acuerdos que propone Ruiz? Primer acuerdo: "Sé impecable con tus palabras". Segundo: "No te tomes nada personalmente". Tercero: "No hagas suposiciones". Cuarto acuerdo: "Haz siempre lo máximo que puedas".
Y podría parecer realmente utópico el mensaje de este doctor discípulo de chamanes y admirador confeso de la sabiduría de los toltecas, pero sus palabras son de tal sencillez y descubren con una simpleza tan abismante la realidad del hombre y mujer de nuestros tiempos, que la utopía torna ciertamente en razón.
"La libertad que buscamos es la de ser nosotros mismos, la de expresarnos tal como somos. Sin embargo, si observamos nuestra vida, veremos que, en lugar de vivir para complacernos a nosotros mismos, la mayor parte del tiempo sólo hacemos cosas para complacer a los demás, para que nos acepten. Esto es lo que le ha ocurrido a nuestra libertad. En nuestra sociedad, y en todas las sociedades del mundo, de cada mil personas, novecientas noventa y nueve están totalmente domesticadas".
