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.

A Darth Vader as you can't imagine. and Thrawn being Thrawn. let's hope they take some of this store to make a new cartoon between Grand admiral Thrawn and Ezra in Unknown region of the galaxy far far way.

A very good audiobook!

Not quite as good as the previous book about Thrawn but still a lot to be learned and quite entertaining too. I hope the Thrawn Journal will reappear in the future books.

Good star wars book, but...

A good overall star wars adventure, although it does not focus that much on Thrawn, but more on Darth Vader and the relationship between a young jedi and a soldier of the Chiss Ascendancy

good book but not as great as the first book.

good book but not as great as the first book. the Vader thrawn stand off is great but I really miss more off the thrawn monologues and I didn't like the 3 story lines that jumps back and forth, even they mark up good

A slow start but fantastic Star Wars Story

The first few chapters, even up to the factory are a slow grind but the coming together of all the stories and plot lines are so satisfying. So amazing to see the cultivation of a alliance/friendship between Anakin and Thrawn, and the eventual Thrawn and Vader dynamic. Beautiful soundtrack as always and amazing voice actor performance
