This Star Wars Legends novel, a crucial sequel to Heir to the Empire, sees Grand Admiral Thrawn's malevolent scheme posing an existential threat to the burgeoning New Republic and its most beloved heroes.
Grand Admiral Thrawn, the most strategically brilliant and merciless warlord remaining in the dwindling Empire, has assumed command of the surviving Imperial Fleet and initiated a large-scale offensive aimed at annihilating the New Republic. Concurrently, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian are in a race against the clock to uncover evidence of betrayal within the highest echelons of the Republic Council—only to stumble upon a spectral armada of warships that could spell the end for their allies and secure victory for their adversaries.
However, the most significant danger arises from a new Dark Jedi, reborn from the remnants of a forgotten past, fueled by resentment, and plotting to turn Luke Skywalker to the dark side.[1]
