 Heir to the Empire
   This takes place 5 years after Return of the Jedi. The Rebel 
Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader
and the Emperor and drivin 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 thousands 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. 

 Dark Force Rising 
   The dying Empire's most cunning and ruthless warlord - Grand
Admiral Thrawn - has taken command of the remnants of the Imperial
fleet and launched a massive campaign aimed at the New Republic's
destruction. Meanwhile, Han and Lando Calrissian race against time
to find proof of treason inside the highest Republic Council - only
to discover instead a ghostly fleet of warships that could bring
doom to their friends and victory to their enemies.
   Yet most dangerous of all is a new Dark Jedi, risen from the ashes
of a shrouded past, consumed by bitterness...and scheming to corrupt
Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side.

 The Last Command
  The embattled Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral
Thrawn, who has marsheled 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, 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.
