Publisher's Summary

The dying Empire's most cunning and ruthless warlord - Grand Admiral Thrawn - has taken command of the remnants of the Imperial fleet and launched a massive campaign aimed at the New Republic's destruction. With the aid of unimaginable weapons long hidden away by the Emperor on a backwater planet, Thrawn plans to turn the tide of battle, overwhelm the New Republic, and impose his iron rule throughout the galaxy.

Meanwhile, Han and Lando Calrissian race against time to find proof of treason inside the highest Republican Council - only to discover instead a ghostly fleet of warships that could bring doom to their friends and victory to their enemies.

Yet most dangerous of all is a new Dark Jedi, risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, consumed by bitterness...and scheming to corrupt Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side.

Learn to love the word sardonic

Loved the audio book a good continuation of the series. Great production and thoroughly immersing. But seriously the author loved the word sardonic it's like he just learnt the word and just thought I'm going to put this in every situation

Get Marc to voice NJO

Marc’s narrating and Timothy Zahn’s writing is unmatched. Now it is time for Marc to narrate the new Jedi order series. It wouldn’t be the same without him

Excellent. A trip down memory lane.

I loved it. I read these books when I was a kid and loved the way Marc Thompson narrates the story and brings the characters to life. Looking forward to the next in the series.

You can't go wrong with Thrawn!

Another perfect entry into a Thrawn series by Timothy Zahn. Marc Thompson nailed it as usual.

a decent book if a bit slow ,well narated though

after listening to the new complete Thrawn trilogy, which occured during the empire with familiar charectors and really enjoying it.
I felt this book and the one before it where a bit slow and plodding , probably doesnt help that its no longer cannon.
Its still a decent read but doesnt have the impact i imagine it once did.
