____________________________

Discover Thrawn’s origins within the Chiss Ascendancy in the first book in an epic new Star Wars trilogy from bestselling author Timothy Zahn.

Beyond the edge of the galaxy lies the Unknown Regions: chaotic, uncharted, and near impassable, with hidden secrets and dangers in equal measure. And nestled within its swirling chaos is the Ascendancy, home to the enigmatic Chiss and the Nine Ruling Families that lead them.

The peace of the Ascendancy, a beacon of calm and stability, is shattered after a daring attack on the Chiss capital that leaves no trace of the enemy. Baffled, the Ascendancy dispatches one of its brightest young military officers to root out the unseen assailants. A recruit born of no title, but adopted into the powerful family of the Mitth and given the name Thrawn.

With the might of the Expansionary Fleet at his back, and the aid of his comrade Admiral Ar’alani, answers begin to fall into place. But as Thrawn’s first command probes deeper into the vast stretch of space his people call the Chaos, he realizes that the mission he has been given is not what it seems.
And the threat to the Ascendancy is only just beginning.

I really like Timothy Zahn’s star wars books since heir to the empire, so this one is also a good one. The performances are also good in general, similar to other star wars audio books.

One thing I really dislike is some of the sound affects. They can be quite distracting, and sometimes I can’t even hear what is being said (especially when the characters were speaking through masks in this book, I couldn’t understand what they were saying).

So please don’t put too much sound affects into these audiobooks. I’m even okay with no sound affects at all, what I primarly want is to hear the words clearly.

A good book, good performances, but...

Thrawn is a military tactical genius who lacks political insight.

Naturally, this causes some problems for him and his comrades, but despite his methods not being understood, he gets the results needed!

A great part of the Thrawn works!!

Loving Thrawn more and more!
