The conclusion to the epic adventure begun in the number one New York Times bestselling Heir to the.Empire and continued in Dark Force Rising, this final volume spans a galaxy in flames, as the Empire threatens to engulf the New Republic and its brave defenders.
THE LAST COMMAND
The embattled Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has marshaled the remnants of the Imperial forces and driven the Rebels back with an abominable technology recovered from the Emperor's secret fortress: clone soldiers. As Thrawn' mounts his final siege, Han and Chewbacca struggle to form a coalition of smugglers for a last-ditch attack against the Empire, while Leia holds the Alliance together and prepares for the birth of her Jedi twins. Overwhelmed by the ships and clones at Thrawn's command, the Republic has one last hope -- sending a small force, led by Luke Skywalker, into the very stronghold that houses Thrawn's terrible cloning machines.
There a final danger awaits, as the Dark Jedi C'baoth directs the battle against the Rebels and builds his strength to finish what he had already started: the destruction of Luke Skywalker.

The last part of Luke, Leia and Han vs Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Overall it's a nice conclusion to the trilogy with some pretty interesting mysteries and dangers. Some story events are quite sudden and satisfying, while some of them happen "just cause" or can be easily predicted and don't lead anywhere. The Jedi action is still cool and—sometimes—impactful. However space battles are hard to understand.
And although there are the same characters here as in original Star Wars trilogy, in this book they feel too stable and not evolving at all—especially considering it's the third book. Luke is somehow still very naive and likes to surrender, but he should be a cool Jedi master. Han and Leia are too same. Also some character decisions, lines and reactions feel just too strange and unimaginable.
So if you've read the first two books, you'll most probably read this one as well.

A really good conclusion to the Thrawn Trilogy. The most recent audiobook is also very well done. I really hope the X-Wing series gets some similar audiobook treatments.
