Star Wars: Labyrinth of Evil

De: James Luceno

Narrado por: Jonathan Davis

The war that erupted in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones is nearing its boiling point. The dauntless Separatist forces continue their assault on the teetering Republic as the diabolical triumvirate of Count Dooku, General Grievous, and their Master, Darth Sidious, fine-tune their strategy for conquest. In Episode III Revenge of the Sith the fates of key players on both sides of the conflict will be sealed. But first, crucial events that pave the way to that time of reckoning unfold in a labyrinth of evil.

Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy and Separatist Councilmember Nute Gunray is the mission that brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with a squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia. Their daring efforts yield an unexpected prize: a unique holotransceiver that bears intelligence capable of leading the Republic forces to their ultimate quarry, the ever-elusive Darth Sidious.

Swiftly taking up the chase, Anakin and Obi-Wan follow clues from the droid factories of Charros IV to the far-flung worlds of the Outer Rim...every step bringing them closer to pinpointing the location of the Sith Lord, whom they suspect has been manipulating every aspect of the Separatist rebellion.

Then the trail takes a shocking turn. For Sidious and his minions have set in motion a ruthlessly orchestrated campaign to divide and overwhelm the Jedi forces and bring the Republic to its knees.

"[A] superior tale." (Booklist)

insight into the clone wars

I really love all the extra material with Star wars but especially the material involving episode 3

if you just watch the movie it almost doesn't even make sense but when you add all of the extra material you really start to gain a respect for the writing

more Clone Wars details

too much less important info during space battles made the story mundane and less interesting

the fact it led up to episode 3

loved the entire thing the narration was great the effects were cool! I really enjoyed the story!

Entertaining

Enjoyable story, leading up to the events of revenge of the Sith. I’ve listened to this one several times before and it’s just as enjoyable each time.

Very good story, but why abridged?

I think anyone truly interested in the whole story of The Clone Wars, would like this. Knowing how it ends doesn't lessen the intrigue. I just wish we could get more of these stories unabridged in audiobook format.

awesome

great prelude to revenge of the sith. fantastic and exciting. adventurous stories and fun to listen to.

great story but I'm going to rant about sound.

as with most star wars audiobooks I wish I could turn off the HVAC sounds off during the book. it's frustrating sometimes having to hear that while you listen. be nice if you could shut it off.

Perfect Companion to Revenge of the Sith!!

Despite being abridged, Labyrinth of Evil does an exceptional job at keeping it’s audience hooked with every twist or turn. I’ve read the novel and there’s not much of any importance in the book that is cut out for this abridged version that the Revenge of the Sith novelization doesn’t include. If anything, this version is just simply more efficient in telling it’s story than the unabridged version. There’s actually only one time while I had been listening to this production that felt like I had missed something, and it was just simply a minor reference to something else. More of a “blink and you’ll miss it” moment. Overall, Labyrinth of Evil is the perfect companion to Revenge of the Sith and is best experienced as one overarching story, read back-to-back. I don’t think Labyrinth of Evil in abridged form is strongest as a standalone book; however, when combined with the Revenge of the Sith novelization by Matthew Stover, it’s actually one of the best Star Wars books you can buy and really enhances the overall narrative in a way the movie never could!!

Bridging the gap

The book does a wonderful job filling in gaps b/n episodes 2&3. Fleshing out how Palpatine remained hidden from both sides while manipulating the Republic politics at the same time.

Should’ve gotten this in Clone Wars

A direct lead up to Revenge of the Sith, honestly we should’ve gotten this as an arc in Clone Wars, the destruction Grevious does is absolutely well thought out.
