    About this audiobook

    Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn brings his epic two-volume series The Hand of Thrawn to an explosive conclusion with a discovery that rocks the New Republic to its foundations--and threatens to resurrect the Empire.

    The Empire's master plan is under way. The New Republic is on the verge of civil war and the rumor that the legendary Admiral Thrawn has returned from the dead is rallying the Imperial forces. Now Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and their allies face the challenge of their lives. They must infiltrate a hidden fortress filled with Imperial fanatics, rendezvous with a double-dealing Imperial commander, and journey into enemy territory to learn the identity of those responsible for an act of unthinkable genocide. But most important of all is the truth about Thrawn. In his hands--alive or dead--rests the fate of the New Republic.

    • 5/5
      A worthy second book in the series that tied up all the loose ends. I enjoyed it but it was very short compared to the first.
    • 5/5
      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.
    • 5/5
      This book is just amazing and very fun to read. Its so romantic and excellent, its my most tattered and reread Star Wars book.
    • 4/5
      Nice conclusion to the story began in 'Specter of the Past'. I especially enjoyed the deepening relationship of Luke and Mara, as well as the hints of where the star wars storyline might be headed in the future. This book does a lot of stuff with appearances vs. reality. Almost every storyline in this novel played with this theme. Mr. Zahn ultimately comes down on the side of knowing who to trust and then doing so despite the appearances.
    • 4/5
      Will the real Thrawn please stand up? No, really. For past revelations and twisting the ethical questions even greyer, this gets five stars. For being a Thrawn book without any meaty Thrawn goodness, it loses one. I may arbitrarily fix that in the future. Sometime after a certain Norghi clone slaps a knife to my throat...
