THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Grand Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader team up against a threat to the Empire in this thrilling novel from bestselling author Timothy Zahn.


"I have sensed a disturbance in the Force."

Ominous words under any circumstances, but all the more so when uttered by Emperor Palpatine. On Batuu, at the edges of the Unknown Regions, a threat to the Empire is taking root-its existence little more than a glimmer, its consequences as yet unknowable. But it is troubling enough to the Imperial leader to warrant investigation by his most powerful agents: ruthless enforcer Lord Darth Vader and brilliant strategist Grand Admiral Thrawn. Fierce rivals for the emperor's favor, and outspoken adversaries on Imperial affairs-including the Death Star project-the formidable pair seem unlikely partners for such a crucial mission. But the Emperor knows it's not the first time Vader and Thrawn have joined forces. And there's more behind his royal command than either man suspects.

In what seems like a lifetime ago, General Anakin Skywalker of the Galactic Republic, and Commander Mitth'raw'nuruodo, officer of the Chiss Ascendancy, crossed paths for the first time. One on a desperate personal quest, the other with motives unknown . . . and undisclosed. But facing a gauntlet of dangers on a far-flung world, they forged an uneasy alliance-neither remotely aware of what their futures held in store.

Now, thrust together once more, they find themselves bound again for the planet where they once fought side by side. There they will be doubly challenged-by a test of their allegiance to the Empire . . . and an enemy that threatens even their combined might.

Please no more "double vision"

Overall I thought it was a great addition to Thrawn's storyline, however the clone wars flashbacks were a slow burn and the author's desire to convey the "force" powers were a tad over used. Despite the aforementioned, it was an enjoyable listen.

Really good pace throughout the story and links to the previous interactions between Thrawn and Anakin Skywalker.

Decent Listen

Took me a month to finish this. IMO it's not as good as the first instalment. Thompson as always delivers a great performance. The story was average.

Surprising fantastic

Don'y normally write about books but this one was just a really satisfying listen. Pity Thrawn is on the Empires side!
Great narration as usual from Marc Thompson. Fitted in with other Thrawn novels as well. Well done Timothy Zahn. Well worth a listen
