It is a time of tranquility for the New Republic. The remnants of the Empire now lie in complete disarray, and the reemergence of the Jedi Knights has brought power and prestige to the fledgling government on Coruscant. But the peace is short-lived. A restless Luke must journey to his mother's homeworld in a desperate and dangerous quest to find her people. An adventurous Lando must seize a mysterious spacecraft that has weapons of enormous destructive power. And Leia must face down the ruthless leader of the Duskhan League, an arrogant Yevetha who seems bent on a genocidal war that could shatter the fragile unity of the New Republic.© and (P)1996 Lucasfilm Ltd. and TM. Adventure Fantasy Fiction Genre Fiction Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins Science Fiction Space Opera Star Wars Interstellar

Why does he continue to be allowed to read for these stories?? He has no real voice range, uses no chapter breaks, and his retelling seems to be too abridged!!

Another poor performance by Anthony Heald

Didn't care for pace and mispronounced words were distracting. Not a terrible story but overall disappointing.

Hard to listen to

if you're loyal to the prequel movies this book seems a little weird in the case of Luke searching for his mother but this is my view before reading the other two books

great story
