Publisher's Summary
Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn makes his triumphant return to the Star Wars(r) universe in this first of an epic new two-volume series in which the New Republic must face its most dangerous enemy yet--a dead Imperial warlord.
The Empire stands at the brink of total collapse. But they have saved their most heinous plan for last. First a plot is hatched that could destroy the New Republic in a bloodbath of genocide and civil war. Then comes the shocking news that Grand Admiral Thrawn--the most cunning and ruthless warlord in history--has apparently returned from the dead to lead the Empire to a long-prophesied victory. Facing incredible odds, Han and Leia begin a desperate race against time to prevent the New Republic from unraveling in the face of two inexplicable threats--one from within and one from without. Meanwhile, Luke teams up with Mara Jade, using the Force to track down a mysterious pirate ship with a crew of clones. Yet, perhaps most dangerous of all, are those who lurk in the shadows, orchestrating a dark plan that will turn the New Republic and the Empire into their playthings.

I miss Thrawn
enjoyable book, straight off the back of the new ascendancy books and original thrawn trilogy. Story goes well but misses a key element I selfishly desired. haha

A good story with some detracting moments.
Overall it was a very fun story, except for any council meetings. All the dialogue sounds like it's coming through a metal pipe, detracting from Marc Thompson's excelent performance.

A good continuation of the Thrawn story.
They should have made Zahn's trilogys into the new Starwars movie, very enjoyable. looking forward to getting into the next one.
