Description

Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising by Timothy Zahn lets readers discover Thrawn's origins within the Chiss Ascendancy in the first book of an epic new Star Wars trilogy from the bestselling author.

Beyond the edge of the galaxy lies the Unknown Regions—chaotic, uncharted, and nearly impassable, with hidden secrets and dangers in equal measure. Nestled within this swirling chaos is the Ascendancy, home to the enigmatic Chiss and the Nine Ruling Families that lead them.

The peace of the Ascendancy, a beacon of calm and stability, is shattered after a daring attack on the Chiss capital that leaves no trace of the enemy. Baffled, the Ascendancy dispatches one of its brightest young military officers to root out the unseen assailants: a recruit born of no title, but adopted into the powerful family of the Mitth and given the name Thrawn.

With the might of the Expansionary Fleet at his back and the aid of his comrade Admiral Ar'alani, answers begin to fall into place. But as Thrawn's first command probes deeper into the vast stretch of space his people call the Chaos, he realises that the mission he has been given is not what it seems. The threat to the Ascendancy is only just beginning.
