The Last Command by Timothy Zahn
This is the last book of the Thrawn trilogy. On the whole, the Thrawn trilogy is a welcome antidote to the later underwritten, overly CGI'd Star Wars films. If George Lucas had spent more on a professional screenwriter than on special effects we might have experienced an engrossing story like this one. Does Admiral Thrawn succeed in overthrowing the new Republic? Does Mara Jade, formerly a secret agent of the evil emperor Palpatine, kill Luke Skywalker? Will Leia Solo successfully use her Jedi training to breeze through the birth of her twins? You'll find satisfying answers to these questions and more between the covers of The Last Command. 467 pages.
