Grand Admiral Thrawn faces the ultimate test of his loyalty to the Empire in this epic Star Wars novel from bestselling author Timothy Zahn.
“If I were to serve the Empire, you would command my allegiance.”
Such was the promise Grand Admiral Thrawn made to Emperor Palpatine
at their first meeting. Since then, Thrawn has been one of the Empire’s
most effective instruments, pursuing its enemies to the very edges of
the known galaxy. But as keen a weapon as Thrawn has become, the Emperor
dreams of something far more destructive.
Now, as Thrawn’s TIE defender program is halted in favor of Director
Krennic’s secret Death Star project, he realizes that the balance of
power in the Empire is measured by more than just military acumen or
tactical efficiency. Even the greatest intellect can hardly compete with
the power to annihilate entire planets.
As Thrawn works to secure his place in the Imperial hierarchy, his
former protégé Eli Vanto returns with a dire warning about Thrawn’s
homeworld. Thrawn’s mastery of strategy must guide him through an
impossible choice: duty to the Chiss Ascendancy, or fealty to the Empire
he has sworn to serve. Even if the right choice means committing
treason.
The novel is Timothy Zahn's thirteenth in the Star Wars universe and third of the "new" canon. Zahn created the character of Grand Admiral Thrawn for his first Star Wars novel, Heir to the Empire, back in 1991. The novel, along with its sequels Dark Force Rising and The Last Command, kicked off the new era of Star Wars
publishing which continues to this day. Zahn later helped bring the
character back following the canon reset in 2014, writing the new Thrawn series of novels and advising on the character's portrayal on the animated series Star Wars Rebels.
