The Last Command (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy #3)
Executive Summary: A pretty good end to a pretty good series.Audio book: Once again another excellent job by Marc Thompson making this one a must listen in my opinion. Full Review In the third and final book of the series, Mr. Zahn does a pretty good job wrapping things up. My only main gripe was that for a series called The Thrawn Trilogy, the ending with regards to Admiral Thrawn felt a lot more rushed compared to some of the other story lines.That said, I was happy with the ending. Parts of
I don't know what more I can say about these Star Wars books. They are so enjoyable, well the audios are anyway. This one didn't have as much action as previous ones I've read, but I was still completely into it. The narrator does a great job. His Leia voice could use some work, but everything else is wonderful. I also love it when they use the real Chewy voice. So 4 stars.
An excellent, entertaining and exciting conclusion to the Thrawn Trilogy. I wholeheartedly recommend the audiobook versions of all three books read by Marc Thompson. His performance of the different characters is truly brilliant.
Awesome ending to an awesome trilogy (and we finally get some great jedi vs. jedi action). This is a great series of books, but I will reiterate what I said in an earlier review: If you can get your hands on the Marc Thompson narrated audiobooks for this series I highly recommend it. It takes this trilogy from a series of great Star Wars stories and elevates it to an epic Star Wars experience.
The Thrawn Trilogy is the most common answer to the question Which Star Wars books should I start with? After finishing this last book in the trilogy, I can understand why. Grand Admiral Thrawn is an outstanding and compelling nemesis. Overall it is a solid trilogy, with a good mix of action, political machinations, and Force spiritualism mumbo-jumbo. Even a casual Star Wars fan will enjoy these books.The main issue for me was that the Thrawn character was so interesting, it highlighted the
Strictly speaking, the poster of the original Star Wars movie does not have too much in common with the last book of the trilogy except for the settings and main heroes, but my child self really loved it when I saw it first. I was waiting for a chance to use it and this looks like a good place as any, so there you have it:The New Republic is besieged on all sides thanks to the genius machinations by Thrawn - behind the scenes and open battles. Torn by internal struggles, the Republic is poorly

Chronicle In Favor Of Books The Last Command (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy #3)
The embattled Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has marshaled the remnants of the Imperial forces and driven the Rebels back with an abominable technology recovered from the Emperor's secret fortress: clone soldiers. As Thrawn mounts his final siege, Han and Chewbacca struggle to form a coalition of smugglers for a last-ditch attack against the empire, while Leia holds the Alliance together and prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins. Overwhelmed by the ships and clones at Thrawn's command, the Republic has one last hope--sending a small force, led by Luke Skywalker, into the very stronghold that houses Thrawn's terrible cloning machines. There a final danger awaits, as the Dark Jedi C'baoth directs the battle against the Rebels and builds his strength to finish what he had already started: the destruction of Luke Skywalker. Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!Mention Books Supposing The Last Command (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy #3)

Really enjoyable and fitting closure to the Thrawn trilogy, and Mara Jade's dilemma. The audiobook performance really elevated the story-telling, which was otherwise fairly predictable. Luke and Leia both come across as being too nice and bland sometimes, which thankfully was tempered by more interesting characters like Han, Chewie, Lando, Talon Karrde and his smugglers, even the Noghri, and of course, Thrawn - one of the most impressive antagonists I've read to date.
