In the Chiss Ascendancy, you're either a member of one of nine ruling families - at the top of the hierarchy - or you're lesser than. Even in a galaxy far, far away, there's no better way to topple a tiered system of families than to turn them against each other ... from within. In an effort to avoid disaster, Thrawn and his allies must decide what's most important - the favor of your family, or the greater good. Picking up shortly after CHAOS RISING left off, GREATER GOOD features a mix of characters old and new that will delight, frustrate, impress, and surprise you, all reaching for one of two goals: To grasp for as much power as possible, or to save the Chiss Ascendancy from breaking apart because of a power struggle no family can win.
