Survivor's Quest: Star Wars Legends

Brilliant! Although I would advise you read "Outbound Flight" first as it a follow on from there.

Loved the story, and the way Timothy Zahn weaves it through past and present.

Excellent it kept me hooked all the way through, a nice bit of suspense to keep your interest. I liked the way we're kept guessing till the end.

Good read, right in the Star Wars mold.

Mara jade is suffering survivors guilt , whilst Luke is remembering what he said to obi wan when he was still alive leading to obi wan’s death he wonders on some things that could’ve changed

Timothy Zahn is one of the most original Science Fiction writers writing today. In particular, his contributions to the "Star Wars" Universe, especially Grand Admiral Thrawn, are some of his best work."Survivor's Quest" is set 22 years after the first "Star Wars" Film (Episode IV - A New Hope). Luke Skywalker is now a Jedi Master, and is married to Mara Jade, formerly the Emperor's Hand, now a Jedi Knight.Luke is sent a message by a race called the Chiss: they have discovered the ships of an exploration mission called "Outbound Flight" which had left the Old Republic on a voyage of exploration some 50 years before.A Chiss Commander called Mitth'raw'nuruodo - later known as Grand Admiral Thrawn - had intercepted Outbound Flight and apparently destroyed it. The rest of the Chiss were not pleased by his actions, and having found the remains of Outbound Flight, they want to give it back and formally apologise for Thrawn's actions. Luke and Mara are invited to help explore the remains. But what starts out as the investigation of an old tragedy turns into a deadly pattern of intrigue and plots. And it turns out that there were some survivors from Outbound Flight ...Subsequent to writing this book, Zahn when back fifty years and published "Outbound Flight" which tells the story of the original expedition. If you're minded to read either story, I strongly recommend that you read "Outbound Flight" first. Knowing too much about what is going to happen will somewhat dampen your pleasure at reading "Outbound Flight" if you read "Survivor's Quest" first. I also found a number of details in "Survivor's Quest" more powerful when I re-read them after tackling the book about the earlier events.For example, two important characters in "Outbound flight" are put in a position where the only way to save the lives of the survivors of the expedition means almost certain death for themselves. Fifty years later, Luke and Mara find their bones, with a personal item which enables one of the bodies to be identified. They correctly conclude that the individual concerned had died to protect others while defending the mission, and convey this information to the family of that person, but with no way of knowing what had really occurred. Nor did Luke and Mara have any way of knowing that the other set of bones belong to someone closely connected to an individual of great interest to them. It's quite poignant if you read both books sufficiently close together to realise what happened.Other good things about this book: the partnership of Luke and Mara is well described and highly enjoyable to read about. The plot and action setting are first rate.If you enjoy Zahn's Star Wars fiction but were disappointed in most of the other books set in the Star Wars Universe, there is one other writer whose Star Wars books I can strongly recommend, and that is Roger MacBride Allen. His Corellian trilogy is nearly as good as Zahn's "Heir to the Empire" trilogy, and that is saying a lot.Overall both "Outbound Flight" and "Survivor's Quest" are worthy additions to the Star Wars canon and I recommend them.

Great.

I like the portrayal of Luke and Mara and the complexities of the Empire’s legacy, and it has some good twists.

Timothy Zahn is definitely a repeat offender when it comes to novel selections!!

As always, Timothy Zahn has written a great book packed with action. I recommend reading it right after "Outbound Flight" from the same author.

Timothy Zahn definately knows how to write the SW characters, after reading "Outbound Flight", I was eager for more, I am not a fan of post-"Return of the Jedi" books simply because the ones I have tried to read always seem to portray Luke as a character unsure of himself, after the events of "Jedi" that shouldn't be the case, luckily Zahn makes Luke a strong character here which I liked, his portrayal of Luke is exactly how I would picture the character being like, In this one 50 years have passed since "Outbound Flight" was attacked & her fate left unknown, Luke is now a Jedi Master & has full confidence, there are moments where Luke questions whether or not he has lived up to what Yoda might have wanted him to become, but for the most part & I like how Luke is written here, he is now married to former imperial agent Mara Jade who once again is brought to life by Zahn, she has definately become my favorite non-movie character, there is a unique chemistry between her & Luke, as they are informed by the Chiss that "Outbound Flight" has been found & can possibly be salvaged, Luke & Mara board a Chiss vessel, the Chiss have since expressed regret for Thrawn's actions 50 years earlier & are willing to assist in the recovery effort, but there are others who are interested as well such as Jedi Lorana Jizler's brother, who never made amends with his sister, a former imperial officer accompanied by three Stormtroopers & some aliens with a secret agenda, the first few chapters deal with these characters & some crazy events aboard the Chiss vessel, but once they arrive at the wreckage, the action really starts as they discover survivor's among what is left of "Outbound Flight" & the aliens secret agenda is revealed, there isn't much I can say that others haven't already said, but this is a great follow-up to "Outbound Flight", that last few chapters are intense that see Luke & Mara trying to defeat a ancient Trade Federation Destroyer Droid that becomes difficult to defeat & quite a task as they start running out of options, their battle with this droid is quite similar to Qiu-Gon & Obi-Wan's battle seen at the beginning of the "Phantom Menace" but much more intense & would really look good on screen, they do defeat it, but barely, all & all this by far the best post "Jedi" book I have read, there is no Han, Leia, or Lando here, just Luke & Mara & some shady characters & many plot twist, Thrawn is referenced quite a bit, but I never could embrace him in the Heir to the Empire" Trilogy, why he would clone C'Both is beyond me, considering that their confrontation in "Outbound Flight" was downright ugly & menacing, although Thrawn was quite effective in that one, he just didn't rank with Sideous or other villians of the films as being the best non-film villian, but that is just me, it should be noted that this one came first, but "Outbound Flight" should be read before this one for continuty purposes, the only post-"Jedi" book I can recommend.
