About this title

From the Back Cover:

It is five years after the events of the Return of the Jedi. The fragile New Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has not only rallied the remaining Imperial forces but has driven the rebels back with an abdominable new technology: clone soldiers.

Hopes are dim as Trawn mounts a final seige against the Republic. While Han and Chewbacca struggle to form a wary alliance of smugglers in a last-ditch attack against the Empire, Leia keeps the Alliance together and prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins. But the Empire has too many ships and too many clones to combat. The Republic's only hope lies in sending a small force, led by Luke, into the very stronghold that houses Thrawn's terrible cloning machines.

There a final danger awaits. The dark Jedi C'baoth schemes in his secret fortress, directing the battle against the rebels, nursing his insanity, and building his strength to finish what he had already started - the destruction of Luke Skywalker.

An odyssey of fast-paced action, stunning revelation, and the final confrontation, The Last Command spans a galaxy in flames - a tale that will conclude in this third and last instalment as Good and Evil battle 'a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...'
