Alternate Cover Edition can be found here.It is a time of renewal, five years after the destruction of the Death Star and the defeat of Darth Vader and the Empire.But with the war seemingly won, strains are beginning to show in the Rebel Alliance. New challenges to galactic peace have arisen. And Luke Skywalker hears a voice from his past. A voice with a warning. Beware the dark side….The Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet back into barely a quarter of the territory that they once controlled. Leia and Han are married, are expecting Jedi twins, and have shouldered heavy burdens in the government of the new Republic. And Luke Skywalker is the first in a hoped-for new line of Jedi Knights.But thousands of light years away, where a few skirmishes are still taking place, the last of the Emperor's warlords has taken command of the remains of the Imperial fleet. He has made two vital discoveries that could destroy the fragile new Republic—built with such cost to the Rebel Alliance. The tale that emerges is a towering epic of action, invention, mystery, and spectacle on a galactic scale—in short, a story that is worthy of the name Star Wars.
The dying Empire's most cunning and ruthless warlord—Grand Admiral Thrawn—has taken command of the remnants of the Imperial fleet and launched a massive campaign aimed at the New Republic's destruction. Meanwhile, Han and Lando Calrissian race against time to find proof of treason inside the highest Republic Council—only to discover instead a ghostly fleet of warships that could bring doom to their friends and victory to their enemies.Yet most dangerous of all is a new Dark Jedi, risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, consumed by bitterness… and scheming to corrupt Luke Skywalker to the Dark Side.
Han Solo i jego przyjaciel Lando Calrissian zdobywają informację o miejscu ukrycia zaginionej gwiezdnej floty katańskiej. Przejęcie dwustu pancerników może przechylić szalę zwycięstwa na stronę Republiki prowadzącej wojnę z siłami dawnego Imperium. Jednak admirał Thrawn jest szybszy... Drugi tom kultowej już trylogii Thrawna.
This third and final instalment spans a galaxy in flames. The fragile New Republic reels from the attacks of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has not only rallied the remaining Imperial forces, but has driven the rebels back with an abominable new technology - clone soldiers.
La croisade noire du Jedi fou. L'ultime commandement
Cinq ans après les événements racontés dans " La bataille des Jedi ", la fragile République doit subir les assauts du Grand Amiral Thrawn. Non seulement celui-ci a pu rassembler derrière lui les restes des forces de l'Empire, mais il a réussi à repousser les Rebelles, grâce à une arme aussi effroyable qu'imparable, les clones soldats. Malgré les efforts de Yan Solo et de son fidèle Chewbacca qui tentent de mettre sur pied une armada composée de contrebandiers de l'espace, l'Empire paraît trop puissant pour que l'on puisse lui résister. Seul espoir : l'envoi d'une petite troupe d'hommes décidés, menés par Luke, au cœur même de la forteresse qui abrite les redoutables clones du Grand Amiral. Mais tapi dans son repaire secret, C'Baoth, le Jedi fou, tire discrètement les ficelles et organise la guerre contre les Rebelles, tandis que s'embrase la galaxie, va commencer l'affrontement ultime entre le Bien et le Mal...
