Grand Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader
team up against a threat to the Empire in this thrilling novel from
bestselling author Timothy Zahn. “I have sensed a disturbance in the Force.” Ominous
words under any circumstances, but all the more so when uttered by
Emperor Palpatine. On Batuu, at the edges of the Unknown Regions, a
threat to the Empire is taking root—its existence little more than a
glimmer, its consequences as yet unknowable. But it is troubling enough
to the Imperial leader to warrant investigation by his most powerful
agents: ruthless enforcer Lord Darth Vader and brilliant strategist
Grand Admiral Thrawn. Fierce rivals for the emperor’s favor, and
outspoken adversaries on Imperial affairs—including the Death Star
project—the formidable pair seem unlikely partners for such a crucial
mission. But the Emperor knows it’s not the first time Vader and Thrawn
have joined forces. And there’s more behind his royal command than
either man suspects.In what seems like a lifetime ago, General
Anakin Skywalker of the Galactic Republic, and Commander
Mitth’raw’nuruodo, officer of the Chiss Ascendancy, crossed paths for
the first time. One on a desperate personal quest, the other with
motives unknown . . . and undisclosed. But facing a gauntlet of dangers
on a far-flung world, they forged an uneasy alliance—neither remotely
aware of what their futures held in store.Now, thrust together
once more, they find themselves bound again for the planet where they
once fought side by side. There they will be doubly challenged—by a test
of their allegiance to the Empire . . . and an enemy that threatens
even their combined might.
