About this product

Product Information

It began as the ultimate voyage of discovery-only to become the stuff of lost Republic legend . . . and a dark chapter in Jedi history. Now, at last, acclaimed author Timothy Zahn returns to tell the whole extraordinary story of the remarkable-and doomed-Outbound Flight Project. The Clone Wars have yet to erupt when Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth petitions the Senate for support of a singularly ambitious undertaking. Six Jedi Masters, twelve Jedi Knights, and fifty thousand men, women, and children will embark-aboard a gargantuan vessel, equipped for years of travel-on a mission to contact intelligent life and colonize undiscovered worlds beyond the known galaxy. The government bureaucracy threatens to scuttle the expedition before it can even start-until Master C'baoth foils a murderous conspiracy plot, winning him the political capital he needs to set in motion the dream of Outbound Flight. Or so it would seem. For unknown to the famed Jedi Master, the successful launch of the mission is secretly being orchestrated by an unlikely ally: the evil Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, who has his own reasons for wanting Outbound Flight to move forward . . . and, ultimately, to fail. Yet Darth Sidious is not the mission's most dangerous challenge. Once underway, the starship crosses paths at the edge of Unknown Space with the forces of the alien Chiss Ascendancy and the brilliant mastermind best known as "Thrawn." Even Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, aboard Outbound Flight with his young Padawan student, Anakin Skywalker, cannot help avert disaster. Thus what begins as a peaceful Jedi mission is violently transformed into an all-out war for survival against staggering odds-and the most diabolicalof adversaries. Timothy Zahn's unique mix of espionage, political gamesmanship, and deadly interstellar combat breathes electrifying life into a Star Wars legend.

  • Zahn should write episode's 7,8, and 9

    Another puzzle piece in the Star Wars universe falls into place with this action-packed prequel to Hugo-winner Zahn's Star Wars: Survivor's Quest (2004). Familiar characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, young Anakin Skywalker and the evil Lord Palpatine (aka Darth Sidious) make appearances, but the true star is Commander Thrawn, a red-eyed, blue-skinned alien. On the Outbound Flight, a mammoth Jedi exploration and colonization vessel sent to far-off reaches of the cosmos to identify potential Force-users and hunt down a lost knight, Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth struggles with an inappropriate lust for power. Thrawn's attack on the ship (secretly influenced by Darth Sidious's agents) insures his own eventual exile from his race and sets other sinister wheels in motion. As these old and new ...

  • Puts the pieces all together, stirs emotions.

    I love the Star Wars series written by Timothy Zahn. His are the only series I read. The book that came before this one was called Survivor's Quest. That book was a great book but it left you wondering at some things. The things I wondered were: How did this all come about? What happened to these people to make them hate Jedi so strongly? But most of all, HOW DID THIS ALL COME ABOUT? I was very excited when I read Outbound flight and discovered all the missing pieces. The book does have a sad ending but it is a lovely book and I would highly recommend it. And why did I buy it? I wanted to have my own Timothy Zahn Star Wars Collection, so that I could read the books any time I want rather then going to the library. All considered, this is a great book for anyone who loves Timothy Zahn, ...

  • Always love to read about Thrawn.

    Zahn keeps the story moving in a typical Star Wars fashion with well developed characters and an intricate, though somewhat transparent plot line. Very entertaining story, especially enjoyed more detailed glimpse of Thrawn, probably the best character outside of Lucas' environment. Zahn is usually excellent at bringing in new characters such as Car'das or expanding on existing ones like C'boath, a very unique jedi. I have read all books in the "Star Wars expanded universe" and consider Zahn the best, Stackpole is also very good. I would rate Outbound higher if I was comparing it to other Star Wars novels, instead I choose to evaluate it against Zahns' better works the Thrawn Trilogy and the Conquerers saga (both excellent and highly entertaining).

  • One of the best Star Wars books I have read - HIGHLY recommend!

    A very good book- keeps you interested from start to finish, really no slow spot! A couple of things were left a bit unresolved, but over all an excellent plot, good story movement, and intriguing characters. One of my favorite Star Wars books, and Timothy Zahn is definitely one of the best SW authors!

  • Outbound Flight

    As usual, Zahn satisfies excellently with this masterful addition to the Star Wars universe, delving into the details of the mysterios outbound flight project. The book has great characters and many appearances from Thrawn, a fan favorite. It also contains humorous references to its sister novel, Survivor's Quest.
