About This Book
The low hum of starships fills the air, mingling with the cold, metallic scent of the Empire’s strongest warships. On a distant planet at the edge of space, two powerful and very different leaders—Grand Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader—face a danger that could change everything. Their uneasy alliance might be the only hope, but can they trust each other when so much is at stake?
