What this book is about
The second Thrawn Trilogy novel continues the Empire's resurgence under Grand Admiral Thrawn as a new threat emerges from within the New Republic itself. Zahn expands his universe with new characters (Mara Jade becomes more central) and the military-strategy plotting that makes the trilogy so satisfying — both as Star Wars and as science fiction.
