Story
On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

The Empire stands at the brink of total collapse. But they have saved their most heinous plan for last.

It is an age of exploration. Jedi travel the galaxy, expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it. Meanwhile, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds in an ever-growing community among near and distant stars. On the close-orbiting planets of Eiram and E’ronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. The two worlds’ hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems.

For the handful of scattered Jedi, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy somehow, someday reclaimed. Yet more important still is the well-being of the twin infants, Leia and Luke Skywalker, the children of Anakin and his doomed bride, Padme Amidala. Separated after Padme's death, they must be made safe at all costs, lest the hope they represent for the future be turned to horror by the new Sith regime, and the unspeakable power of the dark side.

Despite the bond they share in the Force, the Jedi Master and his wife are still learning the ropes of being a couple after three years of marriage—and struggling to find time together between the constant demands of duty. But all that will change when they’re united on an unexpected mission: They must pool their exceptional skills to combat an insidious enemy and salvage a part of Jedi history.
Written by: Timothy Zahn
Publisher's Summary
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. With the aid of unimaginable weapons long hidden away by the Emperor on a backwater planet, Thrawn plans to turn the tide of battle, overwhelm the New Republic, and impose his iron rule throughout the galaxy.
Meanwhile, Han and Lando Calrissian race against time to find proof of treason inside the highest Republican 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.

Better than Disney Star Wars
I started listening to the Thrawn series to get a different take on the Star Wars universe after I was disappointed with the new sequel trilogy from Lucasfilm. The writing and characters in these books are far superior to what you will find in cinemas.

Better than current cannon
having listened to the current cannon thrawn books, this 'Legends' Thrawn trilogy is (in my opinion) better overall in all three rating categories. Performance wise the female voices are a lot better, the background and ambient noises are appropriate; very pleasant to listen too. The story is fast paced with lots of action.

Tim learned a new word
I am sure that Tim uses the word “sardonic” so often to teach us that it’s synonymous with “sarcastic.”
How many times does he believe he can cannibalize his own writing.
He had some great descriptions in past books but the cut n paste writing here does not escape notice.
The story is ok.
I wish Thrawns motivations & thought patterns were more described/explained as they were in the first book. It doesn’t seem like the same mysterious genius we were introduced to in the first book. It’s like Thrawn is getting slower and dumber.

Heavily Plot-Driven.. but Great
There are long stretches of diplomacy between various species, formation & dissolution of impromptu alliances, and political machinations & treachery in this middle installment of the first 'Thrawn' trilogy. To be certain, Timothy Zahn includes frequent blaster/light sabre battles, space dogfights, and nailbiting captures & rescues - but every scene is keyed to advancing the overall plot: the efforts of Grand Admiral Thrawn to deliver Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa-Solo to a "Mad Jedi Master" ally (named Joruus C'baoth) and to take down the fledgling New Republic. The result is certainly enjoyable.. but a markedly "cerebral" 'Star Wars' tale (compared to Books 1 & 3).
Fortunately, Marc Thompson's straight-up brilliant reading performance makes the book a more than worthwhile listen. His professional diction, pacing, timbre, and cadence are matched with an incredibly emotive tone and nearly flawless voice-acting. Random House Audio sound engineers further enliven the book with voice modulation technology, cinema-quality sound effects & background noises, and judicious musical emphasis (using John Williams' iconic score).
Altogether, this 7/10-star episode in the 'Star Wars: Legends' series of audiobooks is one of the weaker ones.. but still well worth your Credit. It was an excellent listening option for a couple of quiet afternoons.

Marc Thompson Delivers Again!
Any additional comments?
Having listened to the First volume of the Thrawn Series done by Thompson, I knew I had to wait until he completed his versions of the second two volumes. I am glad I waited. The story is excellent, as most people already know. However, Thompson gives an excellent performance enhanced by a great and not overbearing soundtrack, deliver an amazing entertainment experience. Get this audio-book, you will not be disappointed.

The adventure continues...
Following in the footsteps of last year's 20th anniversary release of Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire, Marc Thompson delivers another perfect performance with this second installment of The Thrawn Trilogy. For the uninitiated, this series' popularity helped launch the expanded universerse we all take for granted now. For example, the 'Imperial Planet' was first named Coruscant in this trilogy. If you enjoyed it as much as I did, this audiobook will make you want to listen to the third and final book, The Last Command, thankfully also available unabridged and narrated by Marc Thompson. The Force is strong with this one!

Marc Thompson,Timothy Zahn what else do you need?
Any additional comments?
Marc Thompson' performance of this brilliant story is second to none. He created voices for previously unknown characters and did a fantastic job on mimicing the characters we all know from the first three films. His portrayal of Grand Admiral Thrawn really made the character come to life. He was menacing and always in control. Really great series.

If you are a true Star Wars fan this series is a must-classic story that does justice to the original trilogy and it’s characters unlike the last set of movies especially the Last Jedi and the trash that it was

Great Story with a Superb Performance!!!
Would you listen to Star Wars: Dark Force Rising: The Thrawn Trilogy, Book 2 again? Why?
I just turned 40 but this audiobook made me feel like a kid again! So much fun and action and intrigue. I will listen to this book over and over again.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Star Wars: Dark Force Rising: The Thrawn Trilogy, Book 2?
What a wild, extensive and intriguing continuation of book 1. A vast array of characters and worlds with a great plot, with a nice bit of mystery and the perfect adversary!
Which character – as performed by Marc Thompson – was your favorite?
I have quickly become a huge fan of Marc Thompson because of his supreme talent. He is a true Actor and not just a narrator. He has perfect timing and a wide range or character voices and accents. Simply the best!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
With the impeccable performance by Marc Thompson and the authentic Star Wars sounds and music I found myself feeling the emotions that the text conveyed...angry, anxious, nervous, wonder, bewildered, relief etc. Thank you Random House for an outstanding production!!!
Any additional comments?
I'll say it again... Timothy Zahn and Marc Thompson make magic together. Great writing and great performance!

As with first book, great story and stellar perf.
as with the first book of the trilogy, the story is engaging and feels very much star wars; the perormance is perfect with a great set of voices by Marc Thompson, especially his han and luke voices ( thrawn & pelyon too but they don't have movie counterparts).
