About this book

The Barnes & Noble exclusive edition includes a bonus double-sided pull-out poster. 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 Empires 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 Thrawns TIE defender program is halted in favor of Director Krennics 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 protg Eli Vanto returns with a dire warning about Thrawns homeworld. Thrawns 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.
