About this audiobook

Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn brings his epic two-volume series The Hand of Thrawn to an explosive conclusion with a discovery that rocks the New Republic to its foundations--and threatens to resurrect the Empire.

The Empire's master plan is under way. The New Republic is on the verge of civil war and the rumor that the legendary Admiral Thrawn has returned from the dead is rallying the Imperial forces. Now Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, and their allies face the challenge of their lives. They must infiltrate a hidden fortress filled with Imperial fanatics, rendezvous with a double-dealing Imperial commander, and journey into enemy territory to learn the identity of those responsible for an act of unthinkable genocide. But most important of all is the truth about Thrawn. In his hands--alive or dead--rests the fate of the New Republic.

Ratings and reviews

as Star Wars as it gets. an absolutely thrilling conclusion to the thrawn saga, standing out as the basis of years of legends content. I cannot recommend this stuff enough to hard-core fans that want to know the real story of Star Wars. it truly is incredible.

Love this two volume set of books, some of the best 'Classic Star Wars" reading out there. I love the relationship forming between Mara and Luke the best! This is the "real' Luke Skywalker. Vision of Future was especially long book to follow.

Do not miss this one if you are a Star Wars fan. Beautifully narrated & with great sound design to really make you feel like you're there with the characters. I only wish this series continued to be made and narrated by the same people.
