Review Summaries
"Basically Luke rescues Mara, they discover some very interesting things, about themselves and many other things. Admiral Pellaeon actually meets with a New Republic representative. Han and Lando venture off to the Imperial capital to try to discover the truth about the Bothan issue. Talon and Shada actually find who they are looking for, but perhaps not exactly."
Justin Murtagh, Resident Timothy Zahn Scholar
"Vision of the Future concludes the two book sequel to Zahn's Grand Admiral Thrawn trilogy. It details the last attempts of the Empire to derail the New Republic, as Moff Disra gets a con man to pretend he's Grand Admiral Thrawn and stir up ethnic rivalries in the New Republic. Luke & co., meanwhile, has to find a way to keep the Republic together. Oh, and Luke gets some sex with Mara."
