Par Timothy Zahn. 2018
#1 NEW YORK 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 edge 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 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 his future 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 by an enemy that threatens even their combined might. Praise for Thrawn: Alliances&“It&’s a science fiction beach read in the best way, brisk and amusing, with some cool additions to the Star Wars galaxy.&”—Den of Geek &“Like all of Zahn&’s novels set in a galaxy far, far away, it&’s an essential read for anyone looking for an artistically done adventure.&”—CNETThrawn: Treason (Star Wars: Thrawn #3)
Par Timothy Zahn. 2019
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.Praise for Thrawn: 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 ForceThe Body: Different Seasons (Penguin Readers #Level 5)
