Greater good
(Book)

Thrawn has led the Chiss to victory and brought glory to the House of Mitth, but the threat to the Ascendancy has not been extinguished. Their foes do not send threats. Their weapons come cloaked in smiles and generosity: gifts offered freely. Across the Ascendancy, seemingly inconsequential events could herald the doom of the Chiss. As Thrawn and the Expansionary Defense Fleet rally to uncover the plot, they discover a chilling truth: Rather than invade Chiss capitals or pillage resources, their enemy strikes at the very foundation of the Ascendancy, seeking to widen the rifts between the Nine Ruling Families and the Forty Great Houses below. As suspicion sows discord among allies, each warrior must decide what matters most to them: the security of their family or the survival of the Ascendancy.,- From inside cover.
