Summary

Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn brings his epic two-volume series The Hand of Thrawn to an explosive conclusion with a discovery that rocks the New Republic to its foundations - and threatens to resurrect the Empire.

The Empire's master plan is under way. The New Republic is on the verge of civil war and the rumor that the legendary Admiral Thrawn has returned from the dead is rallying the Imperial forces. Now Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and their allies face the challenge of their lives. They must infiltrate a hidden fortress filled with Imperial fanatics, rendezvous with a double-dealing Imperial commander, and journey into enemy territory to learn the identity of those responsible for an act of unthinkable genocide. But most important of all is the truth about Thrawn. In his hands - alive or dead - rests the fate of the New Republic.

Sequels as they should've been.

Zahn's masterpiece Thrawn Trilogy, followed with this masterpiece duology is storytelling at its best if you can look past The First Order weak story in canon sequels.

Combined with impeccable performance of Marc Thompson, you have a brilliant one-man radio drama.

Highly recommended.

Incredible!

The story is a spiritual and literal successor to the first Thrawn Trilogy, focusing on resurfacing characters and expanding previous subtle plotlines from the first of the author's books. Would recommend this to any Star Wars fan and I dare say it's one of the most important stories in the Star Wars timeline!

One of the best Star Wars stories

The duology is slightly slow in the beginning, but when you get to this book it is all worth it. One of the best star wars authors and narrator, so hard to go wrong with this one. Definetly worth reading between the Thrawn thrilogy and The New Jedi Order.
