Summary

Brought to you by Penguin

Thrawn and his allies race to save the Chiss Ascendancy from an unseen enemy in the second book in the epic Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy from best-selling author Timothy Zahn.

Thrawn's latest triumph still rests newly on his shoulders. Despite leading the Chiss to victory and bringing glory to the House of Mitth, the true threat to the Ascendancy has not yet been extinguished. Their foes do not send threats or ultimatums, or mass ships on the edge of the Chaos. Their weapons come cloaked in smiles and generosity: gifts offered freely. Services granted unconditionally.

Across the Ascendancy, seemingly inconsequential events could herald the doom of the Chiss. As Thrawn and the Expansionary Defense Fleet rally to uncover the enemy plot, they discover a chilling truth: rather than invade Chiss capitals or pillage their resources, they strike at the very foundation of the Ascendancy, seeking to widen the rifts between the Nine Ruling Families and the Forty Great Houses below. As rivalry and suspicion sow discord among allies, each warrior must decide what matters most to them: the security of their family, or the survival of the Ascendancy itself.

A great series adding to Thrawn's back story. Well paced. Didn't notice the time go by. Held my attention.

Excellent performance by the narrator.

Lovely listen

I’ve listened to all of the Thrawn books multiple times each, they are all fantastic and I highly recommend them. You should of course start with the original 3 books before listening to the Ascendancy trilogy, it will make the entire experience so much more enjoyable.

Complex and a bit boring at times

I found the story a bit boring when it came to the sub plot. I enjoyed the first book as it focuses mainly on thrawn and his close contacts. I liked the ending but at times the story dragged along and I found the memories sections confusing. Overall it was decent but not as good as the first thrawn book.

Pt 2 of new thrash trilogy.

As always the narration for the Thrawn books is excellent. My only issue is the voice of the child navigator is so offensively irritating and the storyline itself is a little dull I have found the new story to drag mainly trying to keep up with the various alien races and names abc the very clear nod to dune and Star Trek with some of the voice acting. Overall I enjoyed it but it feels a little generic and a little dull
