Zahn said about writing Thrawn: Treason: "I'm playing both sides of the chessboard, [nor do] I want stupid villains or stupid heroes. That's boring. I want both sides to be smart within their own parameters, within the range of what they know, and so it's a matter of both sides are clever. I usually go in knowing which side is going to win and I work in that direction."[3]

Reception

Thrawn: Treason placed The New York Times Best Seller list for Hardcover Fiction on the August 11, 2019 edition,[4] [5] and stayed there for three weeks, placing fifth.[6]
