Star Wars: The Truce at Bakura

De: Kathy Tyers

Narrado por: Anthony Heald

No sooner has Darth Vader's funeral pyre burned to ashes on Endor than the Alliance intercepts a call for help from a far-flung Imperial outpost. Bakura is on the edge of known space and the first to meet the Ssi-ruuk, cold-blooded reptilian invaders who, once allied with the now dead Emperor, are approaching Imperial space with only one goal: total domination.

Princess Leia sees the mission as an opportunity to achieve a diplomatic victory for the Alliance. But it assumes even greater importance when a vision of Obi-Wan Kenobi appears to Luke Skywalker with the message that he must go to Bakura - or risk losing everything the Rebels have fought so desperately to achieve.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A worthwhile addition to a popular sf subgenre." (Library Journal)

Not bad

This book was hard to read through but made a great audio book. As a audio book it make the story interesting catching.

Fantastic story

The book was amazing, only down side was the narration, many terrible mispronunciations, nothing that ruined the story.

It may seem petty, and that’s because its supposed to be, that is the only one thing I disliked about the book.

Brevity and clarity leaves something out

The narration/performance left something to be desired, especially considering that I had just before, listened to Revan and Deceived, from the Old Republic series, which were masterfully done. I just don't care for abridgment I guess. Still, it was a great story and I enjoyed it thoroughly, as I'm sure any true fan would.

Good intro to Legends

Although dated and abridged this still serves as a good intro to the Star Wars Legends timeline. Good performance from the reader is a plus

Truce at Bakura

While not my favorite tale in the EU it beats the new books by miles. Even abridged. It takes place minutes after RTOJ. Wedge Antillies discovers a message sent to the Empire from Bukura. A message pleading for the now dead Palpatine’s help. Instead, with newly knighted Jedi Luke Skywalker (yeah the one you remember), Han, Leia, and Chewbacca to help. While welcome at first (Bukura is an Imperial planet) the threat of the Ssi-Ruuk invasion... I like to listen to think of the abridged books as audiomovies of paperbacks I love.

abridged!

why make an audiobook if you're just going to cut out the story, its a great book but it's a shame it's missing.

narrator is not good

the narrator does a terrible job of separating the characters. the story really was sub par compared to all the other Star Wars books.

An okay story

This book was just so so. If you must know everything about Star Wars then I guess you'll need to listen to this book, but otherwise I'd recommend skipping it. It takes place right after Return of the Jedi, but unfortunately the story's bland. The conflict's dull in comparison to the epic conflict of the movies, and there's really not any character growth. It's just a Star Wars story, and that's it.

Empire still exists on some worlds.

This is a great book. Just because Vader, and Sidious are dead,some planet governments refuse to believe it. As usual, luke finds himself in danger once again from different enemies this time. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Average. But Still Better Than disney

The narrator wasn’t the greatest for a Star Wars story. His pronunciations & impersonations were off the mark more often than not. He would be great in another Sci-Fi or Fantasy series but not this one.

The sound effects were nowhere near what I am used to. They pretty much nonexistent, in fact. However, this is still better than ANYTHING disney has regurgitated into our ears since 2019.
