Star Wars: Sanctuary

A Bad Batch Novel

De: Lamar Giles

Narrado por: Marc Thompson

Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Omega gamble on a mission to help rebuild Pabu in this thrilling adventure for The Bad Batch.

A good soldier knows that life is all about change—whether it’s on or off the battlefield. Surviving, living, means adaptation. Hunter is well acquainted with this lesson. He’s on the run from the Empire, Echo’s off on a mission with Captain Rex, and Crosshair is . . . still Crosshair, but amidst all the change, Hunter still has Tech, Wrecker, and Omega.

And it seems that his small family might have finally found a safe place to land, far from the increasingly vigilant eyes of the Empire: Pabu. But their potential new island home is in desperate need of resources if there is any hope for the fledgling community to recover from a devastating sea wave. That’s where Phee Goena, self-proclaimed liberator of treasures, comes in, with a couple of jobs she swears will get them the funds they need. Despite Hunter’s concern with Phee’s precarious plans, the rest of the crew is fine following her lead.

Things go wrong almost immediately, as Phee’s droid blows the crew’s cover at a high-stakes auction, and they barely make it out with the relic they’d been paid to acquire. Hunter insists they finish their first mission and deliver the relic before taking on more work, but Phee and the others push forward with a second job: ferrying a couple on the run, one of whom is due to give birth at any moment. Hunter worries that they’re risking too much, especially when their mysterious new passengers cling to lies and secrets that trace back to an Imperial Security Bureau officer hot on their trail.

As Hunter tries to get the crew back on a stable, safe path far, far away from anything to do with the Empire’s watchdogs, their overlapping missions only invite more danger and chaos. On the verge of failing both their desperate passengers and their community on Pabu, the Batch must remember that the only way they succeed, the only way they survive to fight another day, is by trusting each other.

Took some time to get used to the voices.

I would have loved if Dee Bradley Baker had narrated. I was so used to his voices for all the clones. still the reader made them unique and fairly close to what Bradley did for them. It left me in suspense several times when I had to quit listening. The new characters were intense. Crain was a good bad guy. Celia was even better. So incredibly Evel and egotistic.

Fantastic story

Fantastic story and Marc knocks it out of the park with his voices.
Keep up the great work.

If only Marc Thompson…

… could automatically narrate everything I ever read. He really transforms every book into a masterpiece performance. The story was fun as well. A nice filler between seasons and a great opportunity for a little more time with my favorite clone, Tech.

Great story

Almost like watching one of the Bad Batch episodes. I hope there's more bb novels down the road.

Accurate

I loved this book! The characters were accurate and it felt like a regular episode of Bad Batch!

A Phee Genoa story

I was looking forward to this book, but was disappointed to find how much Phee takes center stage. Her character and voice are annoying and take me out of the story every time she opens her mouth. Her highschool infatuation with Tech, calling him "Brown Eyes" etc,, were eye rolling during the show, but even more out of place in this gritty tale.

More Bad Batch!!!

Loved to hear more of their adventures. This audiobook version was great and everyone sounded pretty close to their animated Bad Batch series

Feels Just Like A Lost Bad Batch Episode.

Story was entertaining & all of the characters’ personalities came across well. If you’re a Bad Batch fan definitely read it.

non stop action

there is a plot that permeates through the whole adventure. However, the main component of the whole story is the physical action that only stops at the end.

Great series, great novel.

I loved listening to the bad batch on Disney plus, and I wanted more clone action. I have it now This book is a must listen if you are a fan.
