The Thrawn Trilogy: The Last Command

Mitth'raw'nuruodo: "There are too few idealists in this universe, Car'das. Too few people who strive always to see only the good in others. I wouldn't want to be responsible for crushing even one of them."

Jorj Car'das: " And besides, you rather liked all that unquestioning adulation coming your way?"

Mitth'raw'nuruodo: " All beings appreciate such admiration."

Sorry about the delay, gentlebeings.  I was working on my NaNo.  So here's the first half of The Last Command.  It's illustrated by Biukovic.  While his art may not be as pretty or realistic as the art for Dark Force Rising, he's much better at rendering emotions and personality.  This is f-locked for minor and rather pointless nudity, but it's SFW.

( History is on the move, Captain. )

 
Next week: the conclusion.
