Heir to the Empire

by Mike Baron

Published 10 September 1996
Based on the bestselling novel by Timothy Zahn, The Last Command plunges headlong into the turbulent era just after events in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, and features Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia and a host of other characters from the original movie trilogy. The Emperor's death has left a void that the ruthless Admiral Thrawn intends to fill, and with the help of Jedi Master C'Baoth, he has seized control of the mighty Katana fleet and cloning technology. But C'Baoth has an agenda of his own, one that involves Luke Skywalker, the Emperor's former assassin Mara Jade, and the unborn children of Leia Organa Solo.
