Rob's Recommendations: Timothy Zahn


I've mentioned Timothy Zahn before, but I wanted to highlight him here. He is one of my favorite science fiction authors and one of his classic Star Wars books, Heir to the Empire, is on sale right now at Amazon for only $3.99 in the Kindle ebook format (possibly elsewhere, as well.) This book, which was published in 1991, introduced Grand Admiral Thrawn and launched the Expanded Universe (which later became the Legends imprint.)

In addition to a number of Star Wars novels, he has written a ton of other standalone novels and book series, as well as some collaborations. If you like Star Wars, you owe it to yourself to read the Thrawn Trilogy, which was far better than any of the other sequels or prequels. If you like hard science fiction, any of his other works are excellent and highly recommended.
