Publisher's summary

On an epic voyage far beyond the Republic, the Jedi will confront their most extraordinary enemy—and test the limits of honor and sacrifice against their most devastating challenge.

The Clone Wars have yet to erupt when Jedi Master Jorus C’baoth petitions the Senate for support of a singularly ambitious undertaking: the dream of Outbound Flight. Six Jedi Masters, twelve Jedi Knights, and fifty thousand men, women, and children will embark—aboard a gargantuan vessel, equipped for years of travel—on a mission to contact intelligent life and colonize undiscovered worlds beyond the known galaxy.

Unknown to the famed Jedi Master, the launch of the mission is secretly being orchestrated by an unlikely ally: the evil Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who has his own reasons for wanting Outbound Flight to move forward.

Yet Darth Sidious is not the mission’s most dangerous challenge. Once underway, the starship crosses paths at the edge of Unknown Space with the forces of the alien Chiss Ascendancy and a brilliant mastermind named Thrawn. Even Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, aboard Outbound Flight with his young Padawan student Anakin Skywalker, cannot help to avert disaster. What begins as a peaceful Jedi mission is violently transformed into an all-out war for survival against staggering odds—and the most diabolical of adversaries.

It was the actually full story which is how it should always

Marc Thompson is by far the best voice over for Star Wars. He really immerses you into the story allowing you to actually enjoy it

Another amazing entry

Audio quality and story telling was as ever fantastic. The edition of the short story at the end was a pleasant cherry on top.

Timothy Zawn strikes again!

Another epic tale from a galaxy far far away!
it's an absolute must read for any Thrawn fans Mark Thompson does some of the best audio book performance I've ever heard. if it's got Star Wars in the title with Zawn as the author and Thompson as the reader I'm going to listen!

Excellent expanded story

This book was great in explaining a key part of the turning point in Star Wars. The voice acting and detail of the story was top notch. I hope it becomes canon.

canon legends

Amazing audiobook. I believe some of the stuff that happens in this book is actually canon and referred to in the Thrawn ascendancy trilogy many times, plus one specific character from this book is in the original Thrawn trilogy Heir to the Empire. Definitely worth a read/credit to pick this one up!
