![]() ![]() ![]() Is Thrawn’s approach of using preventive strikes right or merely practical? How is his instrumentalization of Thalias and Che’ri – as polite, considerate and truly “for the better good” as Thrawn is - better than the Emperor’s instrumentalization of everyone around him? Why is the Force so stingy in this part of the Galaxy, if we are at all in the Galaxy? This book is elevated Star Wars, and Zahn presents apparent and hidden philosophical questions to the reader. The book also describes Ar’alani’s ascension to power, Thalia and Che’ri’s difficulties as sky-walkers, and the backstory of the Chiss. The novel opens with a mysterious attack on Csilla, the hidden capital world of the secretive Chiss Ascendancy, and then jumps back and forth in time and points of view, chronicling the Chiss’s reaction and young Thrawn’s plan to avoid a future attack, defang any close threats and prevent a future massacre. Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy – Chaos Rising by Timothy Zahn follows the formative years of the Emperor’s favorite Chiss, General Thrawn, the brilliant Chiss Admiral Ar’alani, and of Thalias and Che’ri, two Chiss sky-walkers (Chiss navigators that use the Force to find their way around the Chaos) as a sinister puppetmaster rises in the shadows. ![]()
