No me extraña que en parte no disfrute de la escritura de Zahn por culpa de la traducción que es horrible.

The actual main plot of the book revolves around the mysterious Katana Fleet, a group of 200 Dreadnaught-class space cruisers that had vanished many years ago in a hyper-space jump gone wrong. However, again, due that the novel was written several years before of that any happened before Episode IV, so it was great to watch all the details and planning done by Timothy Zahn, the author, about the Clone Wars and events around that era, however, nowadays there are already some “timeline mistakes”, but. The north-flank AT-AT and its support vehicles were lagging noticeably behind the rest of the armored noose. The “Dark Jedi” attempts to attack them both and after a brief fight is knocked out by a laser blast from nearby R2D2.In reality, this does happen, and it's all the more satisfying when it does happen, since it happens so infrequently. I think you have to have seen the Star Wars movies so that you know what Jedi are, but I don't think you have to be one of those people who knows the name of every alien in the Mos Eisley cantina to enjoy the books. The story that jump-started the Star Wars Expanded Universe continues here with more action and intensity. Swan thought the book "feels tentative and inclusive; there doesn't seem to be enough material to justify a 144-page book.

But now that I have been introduced to Thrawn and know how awesome he is, so the novelty of this has worn off. PD: Las estoy leyendo en la antigua traducción de Martinez Roca y perdón que lo diga pero menuda putisima mierda de traducción. The other new characters such as Senator Garm Bel Iblis, Winter, Niles Ferrier, Councilor Fey'lya and Ghent are all one-note characters with a single defining characteristic each. Probably one of the best uses of the line "I have a bad feeling about this" I have seen in Star Wars. THE CONClUSION: Dark Force Rising could have been a lot better, but I still found it to be a good book.

Nuestros queridos personajes irán de acá para allá buscando información, hablando con posibles aliados y hasta con enemigos con tal de conseguir la victoria para los buenos. scheming Bothan Feyl'Ya (or something) at least had a plot role and I'd have liked to have gotten deeper into political intrigue within the New Republic. The new characters that Zahn has introduced in the first two books of this trilogy have actually been better than the main trio, but it's still a lot of fun following the exploits of Luke, Leia, and Han. Standing at one of the side bridge viewports of the Imperial Star Destroyer Chimaera, Captain Pellaeon watched as the fuzzy terminator line crept toward the target zone on the planet below. I especially love Luke in these moments, because he treats her with such respect and kindness, even as he knows she wants to kill him.

Meanwhile, Leia Organa Solo continues to investigate the Noghri, a strange alien race that has been attempting to capture her and her unborn twins.This second book is better than the first one, while I still considering quite relevant and important the first book, just lacking of a climax of my taste. Admittedly, it's hard for me to say, since I'm one of the people who (a) noticed and (b) was disappointed when the brief glimpse of the Shistavanen was cut from the Special Edition. Carrying on from the look at “Heir to the Empire” a few months ago I continued onwards to Dark Force Rising (and finished it just in time for the new High Republic book to come out! If we can't get into Thrawn's head, maybe give us more about Palleon as a character, what makes him tick.

The first and biggest problem with the Thrawn Trilogy is the portrayal of the central characters from the original Star Wars films.Because of that, I do believe this is the weakest of the three books (I might change that after rereading book 3, but I'm pretty sure my memory is correct that this is the weakest). Ackbar ha sido detenido por la presunta introducción de dinero sospechosamente imperial en su cuenta bancaria, mientras Fey´lya gana poder político aprovechándose de este acontecimiento para quitarse de encima a su mayor oponente dentro de la jerarquía republicana. Due to the events that led to the Battle of Sluis Van, lead smuggler Talon Karrde has left his base on Myrkr and is now fleeing from Grand Admiral Thrawn's Imperial forces. Maybe it would have worked better if we got inside Thrawn's head this time but it's still the same thing where it's all through the point of view of captain Palleon. Overally, this was such an intriguing, enjoyable book (and, since I listened to the audiobook, Marc Thompson’s narration remained simply excellent).
