Vision of the Future by Timothy Zahn
3.0
3.5 stars
This one was a little more interesting than the first book in the duology, but still not nearly as good as the original Thrawn trilogy. There was still too much politicking, travelling, and scheming going on for my taste. The only sections that really grabbed my attention were Mara and Luke's. They explored what it means to be a Jedi and actually uncovered "The Hand of Thrawn". Han, Leia, Lando, and Talon did eventually. But that happened quickly and all at the very end. For most of the book they were just spinning their wheels and bouncing around the galaxy.
This series is a pretty decent addition to the collection of any Star Wars fan. It's well-written and does give you a lot of lore to sink your teeth into. But if you are going in hoping for action and adventure (like I was), you'll be a bit disappointed.
*Update*
I just found out there is a sequel to this duology, called "Survivor's Quest", that delves into Thrawn's plans to explore the Outer Rim. "Vision of the Future" eluded to Thrawn's goal of seeking unity in the galaxy but never told us if there was a reason for that. Could it be that there is a bigger threat in the Outer Rim that could endanger the entire galaxy?? Now I gotta get another book... :)
