Star Wars | Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good

Star Wars – Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good

Embark on an intergalactic adventure with Thrawn and his allies in a bid to save the Chiss Ascendancy from an enigmatic enemy in the second installment of the riveting Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy by the illustrious author, Timothy Zahn.

Fresh from his latest conquest, Thrawn, the mastermind strategist, has steered the Chiss to victory, cementing the House of Mitth’s reputation for glory. But the Ascendancy’s peace is a mirage, and its true nemesis lurks in the shadows. Unlike their adversaries, they don’t send threats or send out their warships to loom on the edge of the Chaos. Instead, they offer gifts and services with a seemingly altruistic smile, cloaking their weapons in kindness and generosity.

As Thrawn and his allies scramble to unravel the plot, they realize that even the most insignificant events could spell doom for the Chiss. Shockingly, their enemy isn’t looking to invade Chiss’ capitals or seize resources. Instead, they aim to widen the chasm between the Nine Ruling Families and the Forty Great Houses, striking at the very core of the Ascendancy. As suspicions and rivalries drive a wedge among allies, every warrior faces a daunting ultimatum: protect their family or save the Ascendancy from total destruction.

The bond between the two Jedi is put to the test when an unexpected offer threatens to tear them apart on a dangerous new planet with an uncertain future.

A Jedi’s responsibilities are vast – they must be fearless warriors, guardians of justice, and scholars in the ways of the Force. But above all, they must pass on their knowledge to the next generation. Qui-Gon Jinn, who was trained by Dooku, has taken on Obi-Wan Kenobi as his Padawan. However, the thought of failing his apprentice terrifies Qui-Gon like nothing else ever has.

Obi-Wan, on the other hand, deeply respects his Master but struggles to understand why Qui-Gon breaks the Jedi laws and is drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of practical matters. The possibility of Qui-Gon accepting an invitation to join the Jedi Council, which would mean the end of their partnership, is a source of fear for Obi-Wan. He is scared because he thinks he has failed his Master.

Jinn and Kenobi are sent on a mission to the royal court of Pijal by Jedi Rael Averross, another former student of Dooku, to help resolve a political dispute. However, what should have been a simple assignment quickly turns into a web of lies with visions of violent disaster plaguing Qui-Gon. As Qui-Gon’s belief in prophecy grows, Obi-Wan’s faith in him is tested. Meanwhile, a new threat emerges that will require the Master and apprentice to unite like never before, or risk being divided forever.

Join the Jedi duo as they navigate through danger and deceit in this gripping Star Wars novel.

Star Wars – Episode IV: A New Hope

Get ready to embark on a journey to a galaxy far, far away with the classic adventure that started it all.

Meet Luke Skywalker, a young man who spent his days working on his uncle’s farm on the remote planet of Tatooine.

However, Luke was far from content with his mundane life and yearned for excitement beyond the stars.

His wish was granted when he stumbled upon a cryptic message from a beautiful princess held captive by a dark and powerful warlord.

Although he had no idea who she was, Luke knew he had to save her, and quickly, as time was running out. With nothing but his courage and his father’s lightsaber, Luke finds himself in the midst of a savage space war and on a collision course with the enemy battle station known as the Death Star. Will he be able to save the princess and defeat the warlord, or will he meet his fate in the depths of space? You’ll have to read on to find out.
