About the trilogy - I actually found myself THERE,
By
This review is from: Conquerors' Legacy (Paperback)
I was surprised to read some negative reviews about one or more book of the trilogy: Conquerors' Pride, Heritage and Legacy. The first book is narrated from an almost exclusively human viewpoint. The second book shows things from the alien viewpoint and Zahn uses it to develop on the alien culture, and you realize in the end that they have worries and interests just like us. In the third book humans and aliens finally make contact and so Zahn goes back and forth between aliens and humans. I think that Zahn did a very good job at developing the story in this way. It's tough to write an entire book only on an alien species' viewpoint, and Zahn should be given credit for this. I think he did such a good job because while I was reading I often built such a clear mental picture of the scenes that I felt as if I were there myself! (And sometimes wished I HAD been). When I finished the first book, I had to wait for months - and suffered terribly - before the second one came out, and so it went for the third. The bottom line is this: in the science fiction genre, if you like suspense, adventure, space battles, and if you like to read about aliens, "good" or "bad" as they may be, then you won't be disappointed.

La conclusion de la triologie!,
This review is from: Conquerors' Legacy (Paperback)
Timothy Zahn est un maître de la science-fiction. Je l'ai connu par la série de Star Wars et j'ai tout de suite adoré son style d'écriture. Dans cette trilogie, il explore dans le premier livre, le point de vue des humains face à une invasion. Dans le second, le point de vue des extra-terrestres face à l'agression humaine (le troisième livre étant la conclusion).Le résultat est excellent! Cette idée géniale nous permet de voir (et comparer) deux conceptions opposées de l'agressé vs l'agresseur. J'ai aussi beaucoup apprécié le côté stratégique involontaire où l'ennemi (humain ou extra-terrestre) perçoit toujours les actes de leur ennemi comme étant savamment calculé alors que la majorité du temps, ce n'est qu'un concours de circonstance. Combien de fois je me suis dit en lisant "...s'ils savaient!!!". Et souvent, dans une guerre, on prétend souvent à l'ennemi des intentions qui n'ont jamais existées! Bref, 3 excellents livres, toujours écrit dans l'excellent style de Zahn, ponctués de blagues et commentaires cyniques des personnes (j'adore!), avec de nouvelles technologies et idées de science-fiction (je fais référence aux "Elders" et aux "level X"!). Comme toujours, vous lirez les 15 premières pages et Zahn vous propulse tout de suite dans l'action. Le seul point négatif sur ce dernier livre concerne les événements finaux qui sont un peu trop précipités à mon goût. Tout se joue (et se conclue) en moins de 50 pages alors qu'il aurait pu écrire encore un autre 200 pages. Mais Timothy Zahn en aurait écrit 200 autres que je me plaindrais quand même que le roman finit trop vite!!

I'm Just Sorry It's Over,
This review is from: Conquerors' Legacy (Paperback)
I really liked this book. I beat my mom to reading it luckily, and it was really great. The first one I really liked and same with the seconed, but this might just be the best of the three. It includes all of the characters from both books, so instead of just haaving one species P.O.V. on the story, you get both, and everyone you want from both. I found the story exciting, and parts of it funny, and I would recommend it to people, especially if they are sciencefiction lovers.
