    Five years after the Death Star was destroyed and Darth Vader and the Emperor were defeated, the galaxy is struggling to heal the wounds of war, Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins, and Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of new Jedi Knights. But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor’s warlords - the brilliant and deadly Grand Admiral Thrawn - has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic....

    Would you consider the audio edition of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (20th Anniversary Edition) to be better than the print version?

    Because it's very convenient. One can listen to an audiobook anywhere, but the same is not true for beieng about to read.


    What other book might you compare Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (20th Anniversary Edition) to and why?

    I would compare it to Star Wars: Spector of the Past. They were both written by the same author and really give a sense of "Oh yes, if Star Wars really continued, then this is exactly what would have happened".


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Han and Lando discovering that Karrde was keeping Luke hostage. Classic.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Yes it made me smile.


    Any additional comments?

    This was my first audible experience and I've decided to remain a member because of the surprisingly good performance of this book. Very impressive.
