Synopsis

The specter of the menacing Grand Admiral Thrawn looms over Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker as they embark on a journey to recover an important piece of Jedi history.

Sometimes it seems a Jedi’s work is never done, and Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker know this only too well. Despite the bond they share in the Force, the Jedi Master and his wife are still learning the ropes of being a couple after three years of marriage—and struggling to find time together between the constant demands of duty. But all that will change when they’re united on an unexpected mission: They must pool their exceptional skills to combat an insidious enemy and salvage a part of Jedi history.

Whatever may await, the Skywalkers will not face it alone. Joining them on the strange and solemn journey are an officer of the post-Palpatine Empire escorted by a detachment of Imperial stormtroopers; a party of diplomats from a gentle alien species that reveres the fallen Jedi for saving them from bloodthirsty conquerors; and a New Republic ambassador who harbors his own mysterious agenda.

Soon enough, suspicion, secrecy, and an unknown saboteur run rampant aboard the isolated ship. But the gravest danger lies within the derelict walls of Outbound Flight, buried for half a century on a desolate planetoid. As the marooned hulk yields up stunning revelations and unexpected terrors to its visitors, Luke and Mara find all that they stand for—and their very existence—brutally challenged. The ultimate test will be surviving the deathtrap carefully laid by foes who are legendary for their ruthlessness, and determined to complete the job Thrawn began: exterminating the Jedi.

About Timothy Zahn

It is not often that you hear of someone going through several years of postgraduate education, who ends up turning a hobby into their life's, paying, productive work. Such is the unusual story of American author, Timothy Zahn, who was born in 1951, grew up in Lombard, IL and graduated with a B.S. Degree in physics from Michigan State University. He then proceeded to the University of IL where he received his M.S. Degree in 1975. After beginning his doctorate in physics, his advisor passed away, and he never did complete the studies.

Zahn had started writing as a hobby, so when his plans changed, he took his writing of science fiction to a higher level. Zahn is best known for his Thrawn Star Wars series of novels. He has also had other novels of fantasy and science fiction. There are also many works that he has penned in short story fiction.

Zahn and his wife Anna live in Bandon, Oregon and have one son, Corwin Zahn.

Goodreads review by Branwen Sedai *of the Brown Ajah* on January 30, 2015

This was the New Jedi Order, and he and Mara were walking together in as perfect a harmony with each other and with the Force as he could ever expect. "The Force will be with you always, Mara," Luke murmured into her ear. "And so will I." "Yes," she murmured back. "Whatever the future brings." They we......more

Timothy Zahn is one of the two or three best authors of Star Wars books. You know when you are reading a Zahn novel that you are in for an enjoyable ride. "Star Wars" Survivor's Quest" deals with two of my favorite Star Wars characters; Luke Skywalker and his wife Mara Jade. It is an odd combination......more

Goodreads review by Scott on September 27, 2023

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, during the height of the Republic, an exploratory mission of six Dreadnaughts connected by a central core, carrying several thousand men, women, and children, was launched as an attempt to, ostensibly, explore and potentially colonize new and unexplored sta......more

Goodreads review by Markus on March 07, 2016

Survivor's Quest is another rather enjoyable Star Wars book by Timothy Zahn. It doesn't quite reach the level of the Thrawn trilogy, but I found it to be significantly better than the Hand of Thrawn duology. It comes with a lot of major changes from what Zahn is used to, and it has one big disadvant......more

Goodreads review by Meggie on June 06, 2022

3.5 stars For 2022, I decided to go back in time and reread all the Prequels Era novels published between 1999 and 2005, plus a smidgen of other novels (like Survivor's Quest and the Dark Nest trilogy) released during that time frame. This shakes out to 21 novels, four eBook novellas, and at least th......more
