Als Star Wars auf der großen Leinwand verstummte, veränderte ein einziges Buch alles. 1991, während Terminator 2 die Kinos dominierte, landete Timothy Zahns Erben des Imperiums still und leise in den Buchregalen - und revolutionierte damit unsere Vorstellung davon, wie Franchises weitererzählt werden können. Erfahrt, wie dieser bahnbrechende Roman nicht nur das Star-Wars-Universum wiederbelebte, sondern auch zur Blaupause wurde, wie geliebte Geschichten über ihr ursprüngliches Medium hinauswachsen können. Eine Geschichte über kreative Ambitionen, Fan-Hingabe und die Kraft der Fantasie, die Macht am Leben zu erhalten.
