Beyond the edge of the galaxy lies the Unknown Regions: chaotic, uncharted, and near impassable, with hidden secrets and dangers in equal measure. And nestled within its 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 Thrawn, one of its brightest young military officers, to root out the unseen assailants.
I'm making an effort to read through the Zahn's Thrawn books. And since I haven't read much of the newer books, I thought I would read this new release. I really enjoyed this. It intersects with Clone Wars briefly and we get to see the Chiss society expanded on since Thrawn has been reintroduced to the canon (when Disney bought Star Wars pretty much all of the novels and games before the merge were designated as "Legends" and no longer canon). I liked how it was divided into two parts, memories and the present time of the novels. And while Thrawn's character is explored through characters who interacted with him rather than the character himself, it was still a neat read.
This can be found in our Adult Science Fiction section, but Teens could also read this.
