Five years after the destruction of the second Death Star, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo try to steady peace in the New Republic. But Thrawn, the Emperor's last Grand Admiral, strikes out for a devastating blow.
Thrawn attacks three systems of the New Republic with Star Destroyers. But the battle leaves less damage than expected. What is the Grand Admiral's true plan? When Han and Leia try to discover the secret they become hunted themselves.
Luke Skywalker eluded the Empire's trap with his ship severely damaged. While coasting through space helpless, he is found by Mara Jade - a woman who is possessed by one thing only since the second Death Star's destruction: Killing Luke.
Grand Admiral Thrawn's vicious plan is nearly complete. While the Empire finishes the last major offensive against the space shipyard of Sluis Van, Han, Luke and Lando have to battle three squadrons of Storm Troopers on the planet Myrkr.
