Summary

The dying Empire's most cunning and ruthless warlord - Grand Admiral Thrawn - has taken command of the remnants of the Imperial fleet and launched a massive campaign aimed at the New Republic's destruction. With the aid of unimaginable weapons long hidden away by the Emperor on a backwater planet, Thrawn plans to turn the tide of battle, overwhelm the New Republic, and impose his iron rule throughout the galaxy.

Meanwhile, Han and Lando Calrissian race against time to find proof of treason inside the highest Republican Council - only to discover instead a ghostly fleet of warships that could bring doom to their friends and victory to their enemies.

Yet most dangerous of all is a new Dark Jedi, risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, consumed by bitterness...and scheming to corrupt Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side.

A Classic Star Wars story

A Classic Star Wars story and great production. The narrator is easy to listen to and can do all the character’s voices perfectly!

It's awesome, except for the whistle sound

The book is amazing. It gives a good sense of scale, is well written and very well told. The characters are really well done although they do seem a little similar sometimes.
It does have a really annoying whistly noise though which is why I deducted one star.

excellent!

so much to love about this book.
The story and characters are fantastic, truly what I'd expect from the heroes of the OT. Thrawn is a fantastic villain as well!
The performance was amazing as always. SW audiobooks have a very high standard and this is probably a new favourite for me! can't wait to read book 3!!

This is good story telling.

I loved the imperfection of the rebellion and the flawless character interactions that holds through to George Lucas' Stat Wars
