In the second book of the epic trilogy “Star Wars. Thrawn. Domination" Thrawn and his companions enter a race against time to save the Chiss Domination from an unknown enemy. Thrawn's recent victories shroud his name in a trail of recognition. Thanks to him, the Chiss defeated the invaders, and the Mitt family increased its glory, but the true threat to the Domination has not yet been eradicated. The enemies of the Chiss do not threaten the Domination, do not issue ultimatums to it, and do not assemble a formidable fleet on the edge of Chaos. Their weapons are disguised with smiles and generosity: gifts are given without regard to cost, services are provided without any conditions. Seemingly unrelated events on the other side of the Domination threaten to be harbingers of its collapse. Immediately taking up the investigation, Thrawn and the Expansion and Defense Fleet uncover an ominous truth: instead of invading capital cities or cutting off access to the resources of the Domination, the enemy has encroached on its very foundation, intending to drive a wedge between all of the Nine Rulings, as well as the Forty Great Families. , standing one step lower. When envy and suspicion sow discord between allies, each must choose what is more important to him: the safety of his family or the salvation of the entire Domination.
