Timothy Zahn doesn’t need much introduction when it comes to Star Wars novels, with more than four million copies of his books in print and hitting the #1 spot on the New York Times Bestseller list on multiple occasions. At the centre of this newest prequel trilogy is of course Thrawn, one of the most popular Star Wars characters ever who was first introduced to the canon almost 30 years ago.
We are incredibly excited to announce that book 2 of the prequel trilogy, Greater Good, is almost upon us with just under 3 weeks until publication. This second installment will see Thrawn and his allies race to save the Chiss Ascendancy from an unseen enemy. For a more detailed summary of what you can expect, look no further. We’ve got you covered.
Here is the official synopsis:
Thrawn’s latest triumph still rests newly on his shoulders. 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. Their foes do not send threats or ultimatums, do not mass ships on the edge of the Chaos. Their weapons come cloaked in smiles and generosity: Gifts offered freely. Services granted unconditionally.
Across the Ascendancy, seemingly inconsequential events could herald the doom of the Chiss. 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. 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.
We can’t wait to dive into this book. As huge Thrawn fans, exploring his origin in greater depth has been an absolute treat. With Greater Good just around the corner, it won’t be long until Zahn’s trilogy comes to an end with Lesser Evil coming out in November.
