A New Republic facing threats from within and beyond

The first volume of Timothy Zahn’s two-part Hand of Thrawn series places the New Republic under pressure as the Empire nears collapse. A plot threatening genocide and civil war unfolds alongside reports that the Imperial warlord Thrawn has returned. The book divides its attention among Han and Leia’s effort to protect the Republic, Luke and Mara Jade’s search for a pirate ship crewed by clones, and hidden forces shaping events. Its central tensions connect political instability, Imperial remnants, and the use of the Force within the Star Wars universe.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Star Wars readers interested in stories about the New Republic and Imperial remnants.
  • Readers who enjoy space opera with political threats and multiple character storylines.

Book overview

Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn makes his triumphant return to the Star Wars(r) universe in this first of an epic new two-volume series in which the New Republic must face its most dangerous enemy yet--a dead Imperial warlord.

The Empire stands at the brink of total collapse. But they have saved their most heinous plan for last. First a plot is hatched that could destroy the New Republic in a bloodbath of genocide and civil war. Then comes the shocking news that Grand Admiral Thrawn--the most cunning and ruthless warlord in history--has apparently returned from the dead to lead the Empire to a long-prophesied victory. Facing incredible odds, Han and Leia begin a desperate race against time to prevent the New Republic from unraveling in the face of two inexplicable threats--one from within and one from without. Meanwhile, Luke teams up with Mara Jade, using the Force to track down a mysterious pirate ship with a crew of clones. Yet, perhaps most dangerous of all, are those who lurk in the shadows, orchestrating a dark plan that will turn the New Republic and the Empire into their playthings.
