We've experienced his unique past (first as a spy for his mysterious Outer Regions based race, exploring the realms of the Old Republic on a mission that would ultimately see him teamed with the legendary Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker; followed years later by his 'discovery' and adoption as an Imperial officer with the birth of the Galactic Empire), as well as his present (becoming one of the Emperor's most efficient tactical and strategic geniuses, soon loathed and feared by xenophobe rivals, in charge of an important, game-changing new development in TIE fighter adaptation). Now, discover the ultimate Expanded Universe fan favourite Grand Admiral Thrawn's destiny in the lead-up to the event of Star Wars Rebels history-making fourth season finale, of which the former member of the Chiss Ascendancy finds himself caught in a clash of loyalties to both his own secretive kind and the controlling Empire for whom he has sworn himself to defend.Timothy Zahn's impressive, best-selling Thrawn Trilogy comes to a complex and exciting close: Thrawn - Treason, out now in UK large format paperback, courtesy of Century.

| The Emperor is back, and more manipulative than ever. |
Here's the publicity blurb:
“If I were to serve the Empire, you would command my allegiance.”
Such was the promise Grand Admiral Thrawn made to Emperor Palpatine at their first meeting. Since then, Thrawn has been one of the Empire’s most effective instruments, pursuing its enemies to the very edges of the known galaxy. But as keen a weapon as Thrawn has become, the Emperor dreams of something far more destructive.
Now, as Thrawn’s TIE defender program is halted in favor of Director Krennic’s secret Death Star project, he realizes that the balance of power in the Empire is measured by more than just military acumen or tactical efficiency. Even the greatest intellect can hardly compete with the power to annihilate entire planets.
As Thrawn works to secure his place in the Imperial hierarchy, his former protégé Eli Vanto returns with a dire warning about Thrawn’s homeworld. Thrawn’s mastery of strategy must guide him through an impossible choice: duty to the Chiss Ascendancy, or fealty to the Empire he has sworn to serve. Even if the right choice means committing treason.
