With Thrawn: Greater Good just around the corner, what better way to celebrate than with a reissue of the first installment of the Ascendancy trilogy written by the brilliant Timothy Zahn. That’s right, fans will now be able to get their hands on a paperback version of Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising which is coming out on April 29th.
Here is the official synopsis:
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 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 realizes that the mission he has been given is not what it seems.
And the threat to the Ascendancy is only just beginning.
If you haven’t read Chaos Rising yet, this is the perfect opportunity to jump into Thrawn’s world. Not only will you be able to read the first book, the second one will also be waiting for you. The final installment, Lesser Evil, is due out towards the end of 2021.
