Timothy Zahn is writing a sequel to Thrawn

At Lucasfilm’s publishing panel at New York City Comic Con today, Timothy Zahn announced that he will be writing a sequel to this year’s Star Wars Rebels tie-in novel, Thrawn.

Zahn didn’t reveal much about the book. It has a working title of Thrawn: Alliances, and it will feature another iconic Star Wars villain: Darth Vader. The book will presumably pick up with where Thrawn left off, with the character now a Grand Admiral, and his loyal assistant headed off into the depths of Unknown Space on a secret mission. According to Del Rey, the novel will hit stores in Summer 2018.
