THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Grand Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader team up against a threat to the

Empire in this thrilling novel from bestselling author Timothy Zahn.

""I have sensed a disturbance in the Force.""

Ominous

words under any circumstances, but all the more so when uttered by

Emperor Palpatine. On Batuu, at the edges of the Unknown Regions, a

threat to the Empire is taking root-its existence little more than a

glimmer, its consequences as yet unknowable. But it is troubling enough

to the Imperial leader to warrant investigation by his most powerful

agents- ruthless enforcer Lord Darth Vader and brilliant strategist

Grand Admiral Thrawn. Fierce rivals for the emperor's favor, and

outspoken adversaries on Imperial affairs-including the Death Star

project-the formidable pair seem unlikely partners for such a crucial

mission. But the Emperor knows it's not the first time Vader and Thrawn

have joined forces. And there's more behind his royal command than

either man suspects.

In what seems like a lifetime ago, General

Anakin Skywalker of the Galactic Republic, and Commander

Mitth'raw'nuruodo, officer of the Chiss Ascendancy, crossed paths for

the first time. One on a desperate personal quest, the other with

motives unknown . . . and undisclosed. But facing a gauntlet of dangers

on a far-flung world, they forged an uneasy alliance-neither remotely

aware of what their futures held in store.

Now, thrust together

once more, they find themselves bound again for the planet where they

once fought side by side. There they will be doubly challenged-by a test

of their allegiance to the Empire . . . and an enemy that threatens

even their combined might.
