By: Troy Denning

Narrated by: Marc Thompson

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo, and Luke Skywalker return in an all-new Star Wars adventure, which will challenge them in ways they never expected—and forever alter their understanding of life and the Force.

When Han and Leia Solo arrive at Lando Calrissian’s Outer Rim mining operation to help him thwart a hostile takeover, their aim is just to even up the odds and lay down the law. Then monstrous aliens arrive with a message, and mere threats escalate into violent sabotage with mass fatalities. When the dust settles, what began as corporate warfare becomes a battle with much higher stakes—and far deadlier consequences.

Now Han, Leia, and Luke team up once again in a quest to defeat a dangerous adversary bent on galaxy-wide domination. Only this time, the Empire is not the enemy. It is a pair of ruthless geniuses with a lethal ally and a lifelong vendetta against Han Solo. And when the murderous duo gets the drop on Han, he finds himself outgunned in the fight of his life. To save him, and the galaxy, Luke and Leia must brave a gauntlet of treachery, terrorism, and the untold power of an enigmatic artifact capable of bending space, time, and even the Force itself into an apocalyptic nightmare.

Excellent production. Loved it.

Outstanding. Couldn't stop listening. One of the best audio books that I've ever experienced. I can't recommend it enough. Great

A tragedy of greed...

The worst part of this book is that it marks the end of the EU and the beginning of disney's greedy, new future.

loved it

this is a really enjoyable story and great Star Wars book. The middle gets a little strange, but overall I really enjoyed it

I wish they would write a sequel.

What did you love best about Crucible: Star Wars?

I loved the characters. Marc Thompson brings them to life like a god breathing into mud sculptures.

What did you like best about this story?

Vestara Khai. I wish Ben Skywalker would just marry her. But now we will never know since Disney will not make a sequel.

What about Marc Thompson’s performance did you like?

Everything. He is by far the best narrator out of any book ever. Of course, all the epic sound affects do help.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The lightsaber fights.

Any additional comments?

It felt like a natural sequel to the fate of the jedi series.

Star Wars Legends - Crucible

I've read this book (the final book of the "Legends Era") a long time ago, was very fun to relive this book hearing it as an Audible Original. Great voice-acting as always and I went through the story at very fast pace.

Some storylines of this book have been re-worked (in some form at least) in Disney+ animated series and in the Sequel Trilogy. I won't go into detail as that might spoil too much if you haven't read the book all those years ago
