He writes Star Wars stuff, right?

He was quite prolific before that, and after, but yeah, most people know him for his trilogy that reignited the Star Wars universe and his character of General Thrawn and his character Mara Jade (who married Luke).

I always thought his surname was made up, like a pen name. I enjoyed the original Thrawn trilogy but haven’t read any other books by him.

I grew up reading his stuff in the late 80’s, early 90’s before I even knew he had written Star Wars stuff. It was good teenage stuff.
As I grew older I had the expectations that his writing would grow with me but sadly, like most other authors, he had an area that worked for him and stayed there. The last of his new stuff I read back in ’18 and it just doesn’t work for me anymore.
I suspect after finishing this series I’ll stick to reading the original Cobra novel (and ignore every other novel in series) and maybe see if the Blackcollar trilogy is as good as I remember way back when 😀

Nothing spectacular from Zahn, huh? 😮

The longer I read him, and the more he wrote, I realized he was a work horse, not a race horse. And while I don’t know if he means to, but he definitely writes at a teenager level.
