A new threat to the fragile New Republic

Set five years after the Rebel Alliance’s victory over the Empire, Timothy Zahn’s novel shifts the conflict into the uncertain aftermath of that triumph. Leia and Han are building a family, Luke is beginning a new generation of Jedi, and the New Republic faces the remnants of Imperial power. The central threat is Grand Admiral Thrawn, an Imperial commander who has rallied the scattered fleet and uncovered a discovery with the potential to undo the Alliance’s gains. The setup brings familiar characters into a struggle over whether the new political order can endure, placing the story between the original trilogy’s victories and the challenges of rebuilding afterward.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Star Wars readers interested in events after the original trilogy.
  • Readers who enjoy space opera centered on military and political conflict.
  • Fans of stories featuring Luke, Leia, Han, and the New Republic.

Book overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this essential Star Wars Legends novel--the first ever to take place after the events of the original trilogy--Grand Admiral Thrawn makes his debut on the galactic stage.

Five years ago, the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and drove the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy. Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights.

But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor's warlords, Grand Admiral Thrawn, has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic. For this dark warrior has made a vital discovery that could destroy everything the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance fought so hard to build.
