Thrawn: Treason is a 2019 Star Wars novel by Timothy Zahn, published on July 23, 2019 by Del Rey Books. It continues the chronicles of Grand Admiral Thrawn, a character that Zahn originated in his Heir to the Empire trilogy published in 1991–1993. It is the sequel to Zahn's Thrawn: Alliances novel, the third installment of the newer Thrawn trilogy, and the tenth Thrawn novel overall.[3]

Development

[edit]

In December 2018, Lucasfilm and Del Rey Books announced that Timothy Zahn, the author of the first nine Thrawn novels, was writing a sequel to the Star Wars: Thrawn and Thrawn: Alliances, comprising a new Thrawn trilogy.[3] Zahn said about writing Thrawn: Treason: "I'm playing both sides of the chessboard, [nor do] I want stupid villains or stupid heroes. That's boring. I want both sides to be smart within their own parameters, within the range of what they know, and so it's a matter of both sides are clever. I usually go in knowing which side is going to win and I work in that direction."[3]

Reception

[edit]
Timothy Zahn authored Thrawn: Treason.

Thrawn: Treason placed The New York Times Best Seller list for Hardcover Fiction on the August 11, 2019 edition,[4][5] and stayed there for three weeks, placing fifth.[6]

Megan Crouse of Den of Geek wrote that Treason is "a solidly constructed story that includes a lot of almost-explored threads worthy of their own novels."[7]
