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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThrawn: Alliances\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It's a science fiction beach read in the best way, brisk and amusing, with some cool additions to the Star Wars galaxy.\"\u003cb\u003e--Den of Geek\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Like all of Zahn's novels set in a galaxy far, far away, it's an essential read for anyone looking for an artistically done adventure.\"\u003cb\u003e--CNET\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTimothy Zahn\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of more than forty novels, nearly ninety short stories and novellas, and four short-fiction collections.
