Timothy Zhan is working on a new Thrawn book called Thrawn: Alliances, and it will have the famous grand admiral working together with the Emperor's right hand, Darth Vader. What cool is, Thrawn had run into Vader before, and a new exclusive cover has been revealed featuring Anakin Skywalker in his Clone Wars armor.
As it turns out, Anakin had run into Thrawn while Thrawn was still a commander of the Chiss Ascendency. We don't know much yet about their entire encounter, but it's revealed that Thrawn's full name is actually "Mitth'raw'nuruodo."

Like I said before, this cover will be an SDCC 2018 exclusive, and you'll have to get it over there if you want to have it on your shelf. Then again, I imagine some people will just buy the book there and sell it for a heftier price online—such is the case with several con exclusives.
If you're also curious, here's the standard cover that features Thrawn and Darth Vader:
The book is set for a release the summer of 2018, but we still have no specific release date. Most likely it will be available before the exclusives start getting sold at SDCC.
