Who is Timothy Zahn? Timothy Zahn is a Hugo and Nebula award-winning Sci/Fi author whos works include the Blackcollar books, Cascade Point, the Cobra books, the Thrawn SW Trilogy, the Hand of Thrawn books, Warhorse and more. Anyone here read any of these books? <i></i>

So, I take it no one here has read Zahn? Your affectionate uncle Screwtape<i></i>

b patient Lord Master Pilot! I have been trying like hellfire 2 lure Zindell fans here 4 6 months and only got a few nibbles--but I kno the word will eventually get out! The stone will bcome the Juggernaut! It will all fall in2 place in time..."The sleeper must awaken!" Use this emoticon if u have 2, it helps me @ least: : symbolizes "Keep the Faith!" The true human being is the meaning of the universe. He is a dancing star. He is the exploding singularity with infinite possibilities. <i></i>

I found an interesting tidbit of Zahn u might b interested in @ All Sci/Fi.com: My Zahn forum at pub15.ezboard.com/bhyena has a mailing address for Timothy Zahn in the announcements forum.
There's also quite a cool mini-Zahn disc. going on @ All SF

I think Ive been to that board before... Never did He make two things the same; never did He utter one word twice. After earths, not better earths but beasts; after beasts not better beasts, but spirits. After a falling, not a recovery, but a new creation, not a third but the mode of change itself is changed forever. Blessed be He!<i></i>

I haven't even seen "Clones" yet--I better go rent that as soon as it comes out! Or is it already out?

*Cough* Ah....if I were you, Timekeeper, I wouldnt even bother getting Attack of the Clones. This new SW stuff looks like crap. Most of the SW novles are crap, too...except Zahn's stuff of course.

WHEN WILL MORE BLACKCOLLAR BOOKS BE WRITTERN <i></i>

Are those books good? I've heard of them, Zahn's big series, right? He whose desires have been throttled,
who is independent of root,
whose pasture is emptiness-
signless and free-
his path is as unknowable
as the of birds across the heavens.

Further up, and further in! <i></i>

His SW books are EXCELLENT!!! Thrawn is about the most amazing character around! Zahn's idea about art is one of the coolest ideas ever! And then there's the Noghri. No surprise that I like them, considering my sig. I've read a handful of SW books, and, imho, nothing else comes close to these. Fist and Faith<i></i>

Isn't Thrawn awesome? BTW, I liked Pellaeon more! Further up, and further in! <i></i>

He was definitely cool too. Can't help but feel sorry for him though. Smart, competent, doing his best, but doomed to fail simply because he's in a book where the good guys will win. Of course, same holds for Thrawn, who I liked better But I think Thrawn, Pellaeon, and the Noghri were well more than a match for Han, Lando, and Luke. Puh-lease!! Fist and Faith<i></i>

Did you read the two sequels where Pellaeon was Admiral? Further up, and further in! <i></i>

Tiny spoiler. It shouldn't be a surprise anyway, but I'm giving warning.












I read it, but wasn't nearly as impressed. Thrawn, especially his art, was my favorite part of the trilogy. He wasn't, by any means, the only good thing about it, but I missed him too much. Fist and Faith<i></i>

You're right, it wasn't as good, but they were still pretty good, btw Pellaeon's also in a bunch of other books by other authors... Further up, and further in! <i></i>
