Synopsis:
The Empire stands at the brink of total collapse. But they have
saved their most heinous plan for last. First a plot is hatched that
could destroy the New Republic in a bloodbath of genocide and civil
war. Then comes the shocking news that Grand
Admiral Thrawn - the most cunning and ruthless warlord in
history - has apparently returned from the dead to lead the Empire
to a long-prophesied victory. Facing incredible odds, Han and Leia
begin a desperate race against time to prevent the New Republic from
unravelling in the face of two inexplicable threats - one from
within and one from without. Meanwhile, Luke teams up with Mara
Jade, using the Force to track down a mysterious pirate ship with a
crew of clones. Yet perhaps most dangerous of all are those who lurk
in the shadows, orchestrating a dark plan that will turn the New
Republic and the Empire into their playthings. |
