It is a part of the main storyline novels which are considered on the same level as the movies and the TV series which have been released since the Disney takeover of Lucasfilm (or series like The Clone Wars that was put out before the takeover but grandfathered into canon). As most hardcore fans know, the character of Thrawn was introduced in the 1990s in a trilogy of now Legends novels set after Return of The Jedi as a threat from the old Empire to the New Republic. The backbone of the character was his ability to strategize and use what he knew (or could discover) about an advisory against them. In the first two canon novels, Thrawn and Thrawn: Alliances, much of that skill in the context of action/battle sequences were missing. This novel more than makes up for what was lacking in those novels. I will not go into too much detail about the plot, but the story centers around a danger/threat to the Stardust initiative, which as everyone likely to read this knows was the construction of the first Death Star, as well as to Thrawn's species, the Chiss. The novel features appearances by Governor Tarkin, Director Krennic, and The Emperor. While the cover of the novel suggests that the Emperor has a larger role in the novel, he really has only a small appearance, mostly at the end. The novel also alludes to the events from the series Rebels, which first reintroduced the Thrawn character, as Thrawn is eager to get back to Lothal and deal with the situation presented by Ezra Bridger. Overall, while I do not think this novel is as good as the original "Thrawn Trilogy" which many hoped would be the basis for a sequel trilogy before the original cast members got too old to make that a reality, it is the closest to those novels in terms of all that makes the character of Thrawn great. There is definitely some of the political strategizing and infighting that has been a part of many of the canon material, but the book has a very good mix of action sequences to keep the story moving along. Chances are if you are a die-hard fan of Star Wars you are probably already getting the hardcover versions of the novels as they are released. But, if you are one that is more selective about which novels you get, this one is definitely worth picking up. Review: A Great Conclusion to the New Thrawn Trilogy! - Timothy Zahn’s “Star Wars: Thrawn – Treason” takes place a few weeks after the present-day events of the previous novel, “Thrawn – Alliances” (pg. 134). This work continues the storyline of that novel, with Admiral Thrawn again working with Chiss Admiral Ar’alani against the Grysk, who have further infiltrated the Empire and appear to threaten Director Orson Krennic’s Project Stardust. Similarly, the Grysk have again kidnapped a Chiss child who shows latent Force abilities. Zahn further situates this story within the current timeline by including a reference to Hera Syndulla in the custody of Governor Arihnda Pryce on Lothal, placing this novel sometime between the events of “Rebel Assault” and “Jedi Knight” during the fourth season of “Star Wars Rebels” (pg. 10). The subtitle, “Treason,” indicates the various divided loyalties among the characters: Thrawn left the Chiss Ascendency to serve the Empire, but remains an outsider in the humans-only Imperial Navy; Eli Vanto is serving aboard Admiral Ar’alani’s ship in order to help defeat the Grysk, who Thrawn views as a potential threat to the Empire, even though most in the Empire consider Vanto a traitor; Assistant Director Ronan serves the Empire and Director Krennic loyally, but holds the Emperor and the political elite in disdain; and other Imperial forces work to advance their own causes at each others’ expense, all in the name of the Empire. Zahn brilliantly engages with these complex loyalties, imbuing his characters with a great amount of depth. Further, Zahn’s writing typically adds more science to the science-fantasy universe of “Star Wars” and this book continues that trend as he draws upon his physics background in his description of the Grysk array (pg. 244). Fans of Zahn and his most well-known character will find an entertaining story with all the elements they expect from a Thrawn novel in this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #665,653 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #438 in Science Fiction Adventures #1,078 in Space Operas #1,743 in Science Fiction Crime & Mystery | | Book 3 of 3 | Star Wars: Thrawn | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (9,367) | | Dimensions | 6.34 x 1.14 x 9.52 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1984820982 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1984820983 | | Item Weight | 1.25 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | July 23, 2019 | | Publisher | Random House Worlds | ## Images ![Thrawn: Treason (Star Wars) (Star Wars: Thrawn) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CIiYjmsAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best of the canon Thrawn novels *by S***R on August 16, 2020* This is the third novel, reintroducing the very popular Legends character Grand Admiral Thrawn, into the rebooted Star Wars canon.

This entire Thrawn series opens your eyes so much into the world of the Empire and the hidden politics and culture going on. These are quite simply the best Star Wars books out there now in the new post-Disney acquisition era. The character of Thrawn was mostly revealed and explored in books 1 and 2, but you get even deeper into his psyche with Treason. I'm excited and thrilled each time one of Thrawn's plans/strategies are revealed. As a protagonist, he has become one of my favorites in fiction. The exploration of the Chiss in this book provides a welcome new look into a more "exotic" alien race. I loved how some things are familiar standards with any militarized civilization, and some things are unique to them. Treason hooked me more than the first two books in my desire to see the outcome/resolution. Never really cared for Eli too much in the first two either, but he had some nice time to shine here. Like usual, I wish there was more of JUST THRAWN- but it's a minor complaint. He shows up enough and proves who he is. Highly recommended for all Star Wars fans.. but read the first two in the series first, otherwise I feel you'd miss a lot of the most important character. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/99205795-thrawn-treason-star-wars-star-wars-thrawn](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/99205795-thrawn-treason-star-wars-star-wars-thrawn) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
