Star Wars: Thrawn: Treason will be available for pre-order next week and arriving on shelves in the summer of 2019. Even if the right choice means committing treason. Thrawn’s 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 the greatest intellect can hardly compete with the power to annihilate entire planets.Īs Thrawn works to secure his place in the Imperial hierarchy, his former protégé Eli Vanto returns with a dire warning about Thrawn’s homeworld. 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.
