____________________________
Discover Thrawn’s origins within the Chiss Ascendancy in the first book in an epic new Star Wars trilogy from bestselling author Timothy Zahn.
Beyond the edge of the galaxy lies the Unknown Regions: chaotic, uncharted, and near impassable, with hidden secrets and dangers in equal measure. And nestled within its swirling chaos is the Ascendancy, home to the enigmatic Chiss and the Nine Ruling Families that lead them.
The peace of the Ascendancy, a beacon of calm and stability, is shattered after a daring attack on the Chiss capital that leaves no trace of the enemy. Baffled, the Ascendancy dispatches one of its brightest young military officers to root out the unseen assailants. A recruit born of no title, but adopted into the powerful family of the Mitth and given the name Thrawn.
With the might of the Expansionary Fleet at his back, and the aid of his comrade Admiral Ar’alani, answers begin to fall into place. But as Thrawn’s first command probes deeper into the vast stretch of space his people call the Chaos, he realizes that the mission he has been given is not what it seems.
And the threat to the Ascendancy is only just beginning.

Loved it. Now I want to re listen to the original stories involving Thrawn and this time cheer FOR him! Excellent characters, story moved enough even when flash backs were needed to provide back story.

Another classic about Thrawn
I loved listening to this story. I have binged through the Thrawn audiobooks over the last few weeks, and he has quickly become one of my favourite SW characters. This book, which details his origin story is another well developed story. And Marc Thompson hits it out of the park with his narration. The voices and accents he uses are top notch, I'm looking forward to diving into Book 2.

Excellent
As always, an excellent book from Marc Thompson. I anxiously await the next book. The story being read by Timothy Zahn always provides a believable Thrawn voice as well as many other characters along the way.

Zahn Strikes Again
I honestly can't praise Timothy Zahn enough for the world he has created within the Star Wars universe.
This book went into far more detail about Chiss politics than I ever thought I'd need to know and yet it was fascinating the whole way through.
And let's not forget Marc Thompson's performance... unparalleled. With such detailed voice acting you become so invested in every characters path, even the minor characters. His performance lends a richness to the story and a real depth to the stakes that you can really hear in each characters voice.
Bravo. I really hope we get to see a movie or TV series adaptation of these books in future. Truely awesome.

Best Star Wars book in a while!
Timothy Zahn does it again! Can't stop listening to this book. Very captivating from start to finish. Zahn also does a marvelous job of fleshing out the Chiss Ascendancy and the Chaos. Very original yet very Star Wars at the same time. A perfect addition to Star Wars canon.
