Summary:

After Thrawn is rescued from exile by Imperial soldiers, his deadly ingenuity and keen tactical abilities swiftly capture the attention of Emperor Palpatine. And just as quickly, Thrawn proves to be an indispensable to the Empire as its most loyal servant, Darth Vader. On missions to rout smugglers, snare spies, and defeat pirates, Thrawn triumphs time and again. As one promotion follows another in his rapid rise to greater power, he schools his trusted aide, Ensign Eli Vanto, in the arts of combat and leadership, and the secrets of seizing victory. Still, Thrawn has much to learn about the political arena, where ruthless Arihnda Pryce could be his potent ally or a brutal enemy. But becoming an admiral will put Thrawn to the ultimate test, as he marshals all his knowledge, instincts, and battlefield brilliance against an insurgent uprising that threatens the Empire's grip on the galaxy - and his own carefully laid plans for future ascendancy.
