Bantam, New York, 1994, reprint.  ISBN 0-553-56492-7.  MMPB, 467 pages followed by a preview of The Truce at Bakura.  Good; wraps show some edge wear, reading creases on spine, short tear at lower rear wrap repaired on verso; binding sound with a lean.  Interior clean and unmarked with tanned pages; a few pages have ripples in fore-edge margin.  ‘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 … 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. … 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.’ (from rear wrap)
