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.

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.

Publisher's Summary
New York Times best seller
Discover Thrawn's origins within the Chiss Ascendancy in the first book in an epic new Star Wars trilogy from best-selling author Timothy Zahn.
Beyond the edge of the galaxy lies the Unknown Regions: chaotic, uncharted, and near impassable, with hidden secrets and dangers in equal measure. And nestled within its swirling chaos is the Ascendancy, home to the enigmatic Chiss and the Nine Ruling Families that lead them. The peace of the Ascendancy, a beacon of calm and stability, is shattered after a daring attack on the Chiss capital that leaves no trace of the enemy.
Baffled, the Ascendancy dispatches one of its brightest young military officers to root out the unseen assailants. A recruit born of no title, but adopted into the powerful family of the Mitth and given the name Thrawn. With the might of the Expansionary Fleet at his back, and the aid of his comrade Admiral Ar'alani, answers begin to fall into place. But as Thrawn's first command probes deeper into the vast stretch of space his people call the Chaos, he realizes that the mission he has been given is not what it seems. And the threat to the Ascendancy is only just beginning.

Expected a little more
I like to compare his this, and his recent Thrawn books, to the one he dropped in 2017 - 'Thrawn' , and his originally Thrawn trilogy. This book, (and the last couple ones) just didn't stand up to those one's. I was really hoping for great things with this book, but I struggled to finish it.

Probably my Favourite of the 4
Title says it all, having developed Thrawn in the first 3, I’m now more invested in him and the Chiss and loved learning more. Wish they drew the last few chapters out a bit more, but can’t wait for the the next one. Great voice performance as always.

Love the Chiss Ascendancy!
I’m enjoying the backstory of Thrawn (love that he is a bit of an oddball who evolves into such a powerful character) but am really revelling in the unique Chiss Ascendancy structure. I hope the next two books provide more of the history of the civilization.
Again, I cannot say enough good things about Marc Thompson’s performance. Bravo!

Fantastic story but wanted a few more answers.
A fantastic story with plenty of coverage over the Chiss Ascendancy. However, I wish there was more of an origin storyline about Thrawn.

It was wordy...
There were too many words so it took many times listening in order to fully understand the unabridged version. Maybe Zahn would consider a partially abridged version next

Thrawn back story
Love the back story intk Thrawns origins in Chiss society. Thrawn needs his own TV Show Disney take the hint!
The book gives an amazing look into Chiss Society and culture about family, the meaning of their names and how Chiss families influences politics and military position and standing in society.
This story tells a hugely important backstory of Thrawn and his origins, his strengths and shows his weaknesses within his own society making him not be Just a genius all the time like in the Empire.
Highly recommend this book audio or novel.
Narrator was great like he always is. I’ve listened to all of thrawns books in audio form. My first audiobooks and I havnt been disappointed at all.
