Thrawn Trilogy. Just...get it. She's introduced in it.

I figure the best Mara info your going to get is going to be in the Graphic Novel "By The Emperor's Hand"

I will also second the recomendation for AC Crispins Han Solo trilogy, as they probably rank as my favorite Star Wars books ever.

The Thrawn trilogy is of course just as good as everyone says they are, though personally I was not a big fan of the two follow-up books.

Tatooine Ghost was an excellent story, that really helped to combine the Prequel era with the current era.

The Boba Fett trilogy mentioned earlier is also a fun read, and tells the story of his escape from the Sarlaac amongst other things.

New Jedi Order is great stuff, and the whole series is definitely worth reading, although I will admit that some of the books tend to seem like filler, when you want resolution. It may not be so bad now that all of them are out, but when you were waiting for the next one, it was killer.

The Swarm War trilogy that followed the NJO was fairly good as well, including Luke finding out more about his parents.

As for the new book "Betrayal", I have read it, I enjoyed it, but due to my liking of certain characters, I'm not entirely sure I like where it is headed!!

My biggest advice to anyone reading Star Wars books is this.........Stay the Fuck away from the Lando Calrissian trilogy....boring, boring, boring.

Quick question here for people who've read it, what's 'Outbound Flight' like? Without spoilers . I just bought it and I like the sound of it, just interested to know what people think of it.

It's a decent book; doesn't hold up against the original Thrawn trilogy, mainly because Zahn's irrational love of Thrawn means that the character is becoming more of a Mary Sue with each passing book. That said, it's entertaining, and a few of the characters tie-in with other Zahn books and beyond (as well as the explanation of a few things other than Outbound Flight).
