Found on an unnamed Outer Rim planet, the exiled Chiss warrior Thrawn pledges himself to Emperor Palpatine and joins the Imperial navy. Thrawn's cunning and expertise as a tactician help him to rise through the ranks with unprecedented speed, though his renegade tactics ignite the ire of his superiors. At Thrawn's side is his translator-turned-aide-de-camp, Ensign Eli Vanto, whom he trains in the ways of war. Meanwhile, ruthless administrator Arihnda Pryce plots her own rise to power.

Review of 'Thrawn' on 'Goodreads'

Loved this book. I loved Thrawn in the classic trilogy from Zahn, and this one just made him even better. I like how this one highlighted his political flaws more than any of the other ones. I don't watch Star Wars Rebels, and I think there were things in the story that I would have appreciated more if I had seen it. Only a few times I felt like an outsider reading in. This really makes me want to pick up Zahn's other stories as well.
