  Specter of the Past: Review
With Specter of the Past, Timothy Zahn plunges back into the thick of things, reviving his narrative with what can be called the series sequel to his original trilogy.
Specter, the first of a two-book set, brings back the edgy vision of the Star Wars galaxy that was Zahn's hallmark.
And these are only the "specters of the past" that the title itself refers to.

Specter of the Past and Vision of the Future form a duology that takes place 15 years after ROTJ.
Disra and his co-conspirator former Imperial guard Major Tierce align with some of the less savory of the mercenaries, weaving a multi-layered plot to further inflame speciesist conflagrations on the one hand, and stall the peace process, led by the Commander of the Imperial fleet Admiral Pellaeon, on the other.
Specter of the Past sets all these wheels in motion: the brewing racial conflicts, the revelations of Bothan treachery, the rumors of Thrawn's return, the search for the document that might exonerate the Bothans, and the Imperial/Republic peace process and the manipulations of those who would undermine it.

"Specter of the Past" is the first novel in The Hand of Thrawn series approximately ten years following The Thrawn Trilogy.
The story of Specter of the Past is one of galactic conflict on a familiar Star Wars scale, but it also weaves threads intrigue and shadow plots into the play, giving the novel a fresh feel from the usual "The Imperials have a new superweapon!" arc, and it works well.
While there's plenty of swashbuckling and space battling in Specter of the Past, the stage is only being set for something much MUCH bigger.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Star Wars: Specter of the Past
Specter of the Past stands out from the many other Star Wars follow-up stories, due mainly to Zahn's ability to maintain and expand upon the myth that Lucas began.
Although I may not agree with some of Zahn's characterization, I certainly did appreciate his fair treatment of the Force and his ability to be true to the spirit of the Star Wars mythology established by Lucas.
Overall, I enjoyed Specter of the Past and I look forward to the sequel.

 Doorly.com: Timothy Zahn Interview
Taking up the mantle of the most popular sci-fi universe of all-time might be a difficult task for some writers, but Zahn has found it to be incredibly fun.
I realized there was enough material for two books, so the overall title is THE HAND OF THRAWN, but the books are SPECTER OF THE PAST and VISION OF THE FUTURE.
SPECTER is about a third of the story.

His trilogy (Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command) did almost as much as the movie trilogy's re-release to create new interest in Luke, Leia, and Han Solo.
Specter of the Past is the first of a new series, The Hand of Thrawn.
Thrawn's plan for destroying the fragile New Republic seems well on the way to completion--unless Han, Leia, and Luke can stop it.

Fabulous characterisations and a great plot (with no Death Star, 4000-year-old dead Sith Lords, gruesome aliens out to kill everyone, and nobody is kidnapped).
There's lots of political back-stabbing and Empire agents stirring up trouble, the odd space battle, and Luke coming to terms with a lot of what has gone on during the past 10 years or so.
You'll appreciate this duology more if you've read a few of the other Bantam books, although it's not absolutely necessary.
