The first novel among the trilogy is the ‘Heir to the Empire’, which was published by the Bantam Spectra publishing house in the year 1991. The novel is based on the science fiction and fantasy genres and is in the fictional world of space galaxies. The plot of the novel revolves around the life of the main characters such as Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, Leia Organa and Mara Jade. The novel opens up with the introduction of the Return of Jedi, which is the Rebel Alliance. It has been over five years after the destruction of the Death Star by the Rebel Alliance.

Some thousand light years away, the last warlord of the emperor took the command over the destructed Imperial Fleet. He has made it ready to enter into a war against the new Republic. For fulfilling his ambitions, the dark warrior has been able to make a couple of discoveries. The discoveries posed a great threat to everything that the brave people of the Rebel Alliance had built by fighting hard. They feared that the discoveries of the dark warrior might destroy everything they had made over the years of struggle.

Instead, they come across a fleet of ghostly warships made ready to go to war by the Admiral Thrawn. The warships seemed to be a beneficial to the enemies. It could even bring doom to the remnants of the Fleet. An even more dangerous problem looms over the Fleet with the rise of the new Dark Jedi. He has risen from the remains of a shrouded past and survived by bitterness. The Dark Jedi tries to corrupt Like Skywalker and bring him on his side in order to strengthen himself against all the others. The novel became an instant success among the readers.
