Outbound Flight: Star Wars Legends

De: Timothy Zahn

Narrado por: Marc Thompson

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.

Another masterpiece from the golden era of SW. Before the Dark Times (Disney)

While I enjoyed Davis’ abridged narration of this novel, it pained me to be unable to experience this wonderful story fully. Thompson is brilliant as usual and this is an amazing read if you’re already a fan of Thrawn’s character

Why would you get rid of Eli Vanto 

The overall book is so much better than the previous version they have on here but at the end or the book they rewrite an older but eliminating a key person. Know as Eli vanto without a doubt this takes me 100% out of the book for the last hour and a half of the book! Don’t get me wrong it is a good book but that last bit just sucked!

Masterpiece

I waited a long time for this book to be unabridged and glad I did. Zahn is a writing Genius and Marc Thompson is unbelievable in narration. This book was worth every penny and every minute.

Thank you for creating this gem, please continue to do so!

first no Eli Vanto,

So Mist Encounter does not have Eli Vanto, but at the same time, I still want to see how this goes, I must say, there are times I did wish "things did not do (as planned)". but I love Thrawn, so I loved this book and how it tied in with a few other books.

I enjoy the inflections going between each character by the narrator.

Really enjoyed how it was two stories in the beginning. Then the author was able to bring the separate stories together, wonderful.
