THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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...

excellent book, it's actually long but feels short

another awesome thrawn book with Marc Thompson's voice acting on point as usual, it has made it to a point where I can't imagine thrawn or Eli without his voices attached.
On a down note though they need to give zahn more freedom with his stories and timeline so he can really put his characters into the larger scale stories in which they belong

Another great Thrawn story

loved the story. great continuity in Thrawns story right up to the finale of Rebels.

didn't enjoy the performance as much. Krennics cockney accent was awful and voicing the other Grand Admiral as Sean Connery was annoying. more so overplaying the aggressive, whingey tone of several characters makes them one dimensional.

An excellent addition to the Thrawn backstory

I loved the exploration of the chiss as a people and their interactions with the empire. A step up from the middle of the trilogy, alliances. On par with the first in the series, I highly recommend if you enjoyed it.

Great book overall, my second favourite all 3

After Thrawn Alliances this one is my second choice of the trilogy. It shows the traditional hyper-calculating mind of Thrawn and his formidable tactics.

Also, I am probably speculating but this book may bring some light of a possible future for the next phase of what Star Wars will be after the Rise of Skywalker ends. This book may show what could be the next enemy of this galaxy far, far away...
