About this ebook

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The fate of the Chiss Ascendancy hangs in the balance in the epic finale of the Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy from Timothy Zahn.
 
For thousands of years the Chiss Ascendancy has been an island of calm, a center of power, and a beacon of integrity. It is led by the Nine Ruling Families, whose leadership stands as a bulwark of stability against the Chaos of the Unknown Regions.
 
But that stability has been eroded by a cunning foe who winnows away trust and loyalty in equal measure. Bonds of fidelity have given way to lines of division among the families. Despite the efforts of the Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Ascendancy slips closer and closer to civil war.
 
The Chiss are no strangers to war. Their mythic status in the Chaos was earned through conflict and terrible deeds, some long buried. Until now. To ensure the Ascendancy’s future, Thrawn will delve deep into its past, uncovering the dark secrets surrounding the ascension of the First Ruling Family. But the truth of a family’s legacy is only as strong as the legend that supports it. Even if that legend turns out to be a lie.
 
To secure the salvation of the Ascendancy, is Thrawn willing to sacrifice everything? Including the only home he has ever known?

Ratings and reviews

Star Wars Thrawn 'Lesser Evil' Good Read."Ascendancy" was read in paper form. Thrass realized that Thrawn was right.No one knew what the future held. He once made this this statement,"My job is to protect and achieve any goal necessary".Thrawn also said,"With allies I am the Lesser Evil".

A brilliant, heart-pumping closing to another impossible-to-put-down trilogy. Looking forward to rereading both modern Trawn trilogies.

The Canon Thrawn fandom is STILL trying to recover from this.. IT HIT HARD!!! Just... Beautifully written, I can't- and what a comedy!!! 😀😁😂🤣😥😨😭😢😰😱😃😄😅😆😉😊😎🤩🤩🤩
