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. But as keen a weapon as Thrawn has become, the Emperor dreams of something far more destructive. Since then, Thrawn has been one of the Empire’s most effective instruments, pursuing its enemies to the very edges of the known galaxy. Such was the promise Grand Admiral Thrawn made to Emperor Palpatine at their first meeting.
“If I were to serve the Empire, you would command my allegiance.”
Grand Admiral Thrawn faces the ultimate test of his loyalty to the Empire in this epic Star Wars novel from bestselling author Timothy Zahn.
