Thrawn, legendary tactician of the Empire, had humble beginnings. He was found on a far off planet. This is the story of how he grew into the most feared admiral of the fleet. In a culture as xenophobic as the Empire is portrayed to be, how did this blue skinned, red eyed man become so powerful? At last the story is told. How did he navigate the corridors of power? What military campaigns did he cut his teeth on? What enemies did he make along the way, and what friends helped him? Perhaps most importantly, what were his motives?

Timothy Zahn brings to life one of the Star Wars franchise’s most intriguing villains. It is a wonderfully written tale full of twists and turns. It was fun being inside Thrawn’s head as he navigated each threat and overcame each obstacle.
