Thrawn: Treason

Star Wars: Thrawn, Book 3

By: Timothy Zahn

Narrated by: Marc Thompson

New York Times Best Seller

Grand Admiral Thrawn faces the ultimate test of his loyalty to the Empire in this epic Star Wars novel from best-selling 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 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.

“Another excellent addition to the new canon . . . Thrawn: Treason will reward you thoroughly for your time.” (GeekMom)

“If you’ve ever enjoyed a Thrawn story - whether that was Heir to the Empire and its sequels or Zahn’s new novels - you’ll find more of what you enjoy in Treason.” (Dork Side of the Force)

Finally! A book I didn’t have to struggle to get through

The Star Wars books have been fairly bad since the EU was dissolved. This one like the last Zahn book was great. Pay him whatever he wants to make more. This one the best yet! You don’t have to worry this one is another bore.

Loved it!

Takes place just before the final episode of star wars rebels! It was a great story to tie in some Canon material to the series! Great audiobook!

A fun listen, and full of Easter eggs and answers!

But still nothing about where the space whales took ezra and thrawn lol. However, this book is a straight up fun listen, and I think it's the best book this year since queens shadow. It provided tons of Easter eggs and answers such as where Eli Vanto has been these past few years! Clever stories and interesting developments and top quality performance as in all the Star Wars books. Worth the money and the time!

Loved it!

Loved it can't wait to find out what happens next and hope it comes soon!

pretty good

second best book of the trilogy! nothing beats book 1.. awesome space battle in this book. story came full circle. it's worth another read.

Timothy Zahn is a genius

I loved it, if you liked the previous Thrawn books, you will like this one too.

very good

def as good as the first two; listened to it in two days. also very good performance.

Another great Zahn writing

love it and can't wait for the next one! I felt like I was there.

Absolutely the best

I’ve enjoyed every second of the three books! Fantastic narration and performance by Marc Thompson and phenomenal craftsmanship and story by Timothy Zahn! A must listen for any Star Wars fan!

Thrawn is the Best!

Zahn’s books are the best in Star Wars realm. Thrawn remains most compelling character in the entire Star Wars universe. You know he’s imperial (or is he?) and still root for him. You want him to win and revel in his tactical genius. Marc Thompson continues to prove why he’s basically the best narrator in the game. The sfx and score are icing on the cake. Recommend this to any fan of the Star Wars franchise. Get any and all thrawn books!! I’ve listened to each multiple times.
