One of the most cunning and ruthless warriors in the history of the Galactic Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn is also one of the most captivating characters in the Star Wars universe, from his introduction in bestselling author Timothy Zahn’s classic Heir to the Empire through his continuing adventures in Dark Force Rising, The Last Command, and beyond.

Now, in Star Wars: Thrawn, Timothy Zahn chronicles the fateful events that launched the blue-skinned, red-eyed master of military strategy and lethal warfare into the highest realms of power—and infamy.
Quotes from Thrawn
Still, even when false, legends can be most informative.
Failure to act always brings consequences. But sometimes, those consequences can be turned to one’s advantage.
Leadership is a role and a task that should never be aspired to lightly. Neither should loyalty be given without reason.
It is never wrong to be curious. But it can sometimes be dangerous.
