It is an age of exploration. Jedi travel the galaxy, expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it. Meanwhile, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds in an ever-growing community among near and distant stars. On the close-orbiting planets of Eiram and E’ronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. The two worlds’ hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems.

Publisher's summary
As the war between the Republic and the scattered remnants of the Empire continues, two children, the Jedi twins, will come into their powers in a galaxy on the brink of vast changes and challenges. In this time of turmoil and discovery, an extraordinary new Star Wars saga begins.
While Luke Skywalker takes the first step toward setting up an academy to train a new order of Jedi Knights, Han Solo and Chewbacca are taken prisoner on the planet Kessel and forced to work in the fathomless depths of a spice mine. But when Han and Chewie break away, they flee to a secret Imperial research laboratory surrounded by a cluster of black holes - going from one danger to a far greater one.
On Kessel, Luke picks up the trail of his two friends, only to come face to face with a weapon so awesome it can wipe out an entire solar system. It is a death ship called the Sun Crusher, invented by a reclusive genius and piloted by none other than Han himself.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

Narator gave the feeling that he did not watch the movies, did not know how to pronounce certain planets and did NOT know how Han Solo sounds like.

Cora-Skant, Beespin, Duran-Duran
Maybe because I’m such a SW fan. But the blatant mispronunciations of iconic worlds and characters not only sounds like nails down a chalkboard, but they almost come across as offensive. Fanhood blasphemy.
I’m just shocked that with how profitable and guarded the whole SW universe is that anyone in charge or green lighting projects could allow those errors to make it to final production.
Couldn’t imagine sitting in a history class learning about George Warshington fighting for independence from Inkland.
Agree with everyone complaining about the narrator’s performance as a whole. Could enjoy AH on a crime novel or historical novel. But he is def not suited for SW on any level.

Great if you are into using ur imagination
Slow start but well rounded story. Many plot twists. Poor narration and choppy engineering work but that is mostly due to it being pre-protools era. I imagine they had to convert this to digital from cassette. Those are the only issues, if you can get past that then I'm sure you will enjoy this gem. Kevin Anderson does a great job showing that even great story can not be hampered(too much) by poor narration. Plenty of ups and downs. I was sad to see how short it was but Alas the characters are well rounded and you get to see plenty of tie ins to the other novels in this one. I don't want to be specific and spoil anything! Enjoy

Terrible narrator
Before you narrate a book, the narrator should actually watch the movies to pronounce names, planets ECT correctly. It was incredibly difficult to finish.

This narrator is butchering this book.
who ever this guy is narrating this book. he consistently mispronounced names of characters and locations. ( for example Palpatine and coruscant.
his portrayal of certain characters is disembodied and lackluster. I understand that this is a short book so the normal resources that 16-24 hour books aren't available. but the at the very least you can get the names and pronunciation right. I was barely 15 minutes in and I wanted to stop listening.
in the future make sure these voice actors get the pronunciation of key characters and locations correct.
