Eighteen years on from his original and strikingly memorable debut within the acclaimed Heir to the Empire trilogy, Timothy Zahn's compelling bad guy we love to hate and admire, Admiral Thrawn, a unique alien being of infinite artistic taste fused with remarkable foresight in his military tactical skills, has proved more popular than ever in the saga, bolstered by his proper official inclusion into the Star Wars animated universe with Star Wars Rebels during its final seasons, as well as the all-new Thrawn book tie-in trilogy, once more helmed by his creator, whose opening tales have been best sellers worldwide. Book Two's showcase of the character - Alliances - was noted for its strong plotting and characterisation, and its successful Prequel links incorporating iconic Republic heroes Anakin Skywalker (followed by the ominous Darth Vader in clever flash-forwards) and spirited senator Padme Amidala, the secret couple working, albeit uneasily, alongside the then very mysterious and secretive former Chiss spy on a hostile frontier world.
Thrawn: Alliances debuts in UK paperback, from Arrow, tomorrow (February 28th, 2019).
