The battle results themselves had sometimes been mixed, sometimes inconclusive, often a defeat for the enemy, and-occasionally-a defeat for the Chiss.īut never in all that time had Ar’alani experienced such a mix of determination, viciousness, and utter pointlessness as in the scene now unfolding in front of her. The strategies and tactics employed had also varied, ranging from simple to obscure to screamingly violent. Some of them had been clever, others had been cautious, still others-particularly political appointees who had been promoted far beyond their abilities-had been painfully incompetent. The opponents in those encounters, like the battles themselves, had varied widely. Throughout her years in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, Admiral Ar’alani had lived through more than fifty battles and smaller armed clashes. 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. As Thrawn and the Expansionary Defense Fleet rally to uncover the plot, they discover a chilling truth: Rather than invade Chiss capitals or pillage resources, their enemy strikes at the very foundation of the Ascendancy, seeking to widen the rifts between the Nine Ruling Families and the Forty Great Houses below. Services granted unconditionally.Īcross the Ascendancy, seemingly inconsequential events could herald the doom of the Chiss. Their weapons come cloaked in smiles and generosity: Gifts offered freely. Their foes do not send threats or ultimatums, do not mass ships on the edge of the Chaos. He has led the Chiss to victory and brought glory to the House of Mitth, but the true threat to the Ascendancy has not yet been extinguished. Thrawn’s latest triumph still rests newly on his shoulders. 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 bestselling author Timothy Zahn.
