This episode was previously a Patreon-exclusive, but Mike has released it as a special - it showcases Mike's review of two novels; Thrawn and Thrawn: Alliances, from Timothy Zahn's first canon Thrawn trilogy! Mike talks about his experience listening to the audiobook for Thrawn in comparison to reading the comic book adaptation (as seen on ep 38 of Star Wars: Comics In Canon), before delving into the "main event"; Thrawn: Alliances. Mike gives his thoughts on the books as well as providing a plot overview for each. Let us know what you think! Have you read these books? How do they compare to the Legends Thrawn novels? Please note as this was recorded in Mike's car, the audio quality is not the same as his usual "studio-recorded" episodes!
