Thrawn

A fantastic tale on the rise of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Sun Tzu of Star Wars. In some ways, this book felt abbreviated,. like Zahn had more material that fleshed Thrawn out even more, but had been edited. In retrospect, that kept the story from becoming too long.

What I like about this book and the character Thrawn particularly, is that it brings some depth to the black and white universe of Star Wars. Whether intended by the author or not, it shows how people with good intentions can find themselves going down a dark path.
