Star Wars: The X-Wing Series, Volume 3: The Krytos Trap

De: Michael A. Stackpole

Narrado por: Anthony Heald

The third book in the legendary series featuring the pilots of Rogue Squadron.

The Rebels have taken the Imperial headquarters world of Coruscant, but their problems are far from over.

A killer virus called Krytos is spreading among the population and fomenting a counterrevolution at the heart of the New Republic. At the same time, Rebel hero Tycho Celchu is on trial for treason, accused of murdering his comrade and fellow pilot Corran Horn.

Corran, however, is still alive, trapped in the secret, inescapable prison of Ysanne Isard, the imperial officer whose reputation for torture and cruelty have earned her the moniker Iceheart. As he fights for his freedom, the pilot discovers an extraordinary power in himself—the power of the Force!

awesome

outstanding story can't wait for the next book! I really like the X-wing series. thank you

The third X-Wing

If you could sum up Star Wars in three words, what would they be?

Everlasting Entertainment Eternal

What was one of the most memorable moments of Star Wars?

From this book, I'd say the SSD blasting out of Coruscant

Which scene was your favorite?

See previous answer.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely! This isn't the first time I've listened to this book. Despite its being very abridged (as were most of the earlier Star Wars books), it's still most entertaining and portrayed all of the relevant parts of the story.

Any additional comments?

Despite what it reads in this ad, this particular book is NOT narrated by Anthony Heald, but by Henry Thomas (Elliott from E.T.), who also read the first two X-Wing titles. Heald took over with the 4th book, "The Bacta War".

Good Listen.

While the story is good and the narration satisfactory the breaks between scenes are not pronounced causing a bit of confusion.

The trial of Tyco Selcu

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I enjoyed reading (listening to) this audiobook. I am a Star Wars fan and the continuing story is really great to read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Star Wars?

The meeting at Alderan, this was the centre plot of the book and everything went wrong from this point. The dramatic moments all harked back to the meeting and it built towards the suspence of the story.

Which scene was your favorite?

Where they discovered who the tratior was and dealt with him.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I couldn't put it down until I had heard the whole story.

Any additional comments?

I want to listen again. It was well written, and I want to see more of these books in the future.

very good use of songs just overall in the series

the music played at the right time and just flowed so we'll in the background

Kept mispronouncing planet names.

This book, as well as the other 2 before it, the narrator kept pronouncing Coruscant as “cor-a-scant” instead of “cor-a-sant.” The end should sound like the end of croissant! And I’m no pronunciation expert and I’m sure the narrator was just pronouncing it as it was spelled, but no one on the production team has seen any of the Star Wars movies? They say it in at least episode 1 and 2. I’m seeing this audiobook was released in 2007, 5ish years after episode 2. They also mispronounced Bespin, which again actually appeared the in the original trilogy. Every time I heard the narrator pronounce Coruscant, it was jarring.

Enough of that! Overall this was a great book, great story.

too abridged

I would like to have heard more of the story . There were some parts that I would've liked to have heard the story as opposed to a summary.

Poor narration

The narrator was horrible. Continually mispronounced character and location names.
No feel for storytelling.

Love these books

These are a really fun read about the aftermath and growth of the New Republic after the fall of the Empire, even though these stories are now "legend" stories with the new cannon being developed. The stories really hold up.

Squadron at it Again

Solid read with good story line carried from beginning to end action packed good charter development
