Outbound Flight: Star Wars Legends

By: Timothy Zahn

Narrated by: 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.

One of the greatest Star Wars Stories of All Time

Zahn knocked it out of the park with this one. Such a fun and engaging story that is a ride the whole way. This book ties together so many aspects of the EU in a fascinating and unexpected ways. Thrawn is, as usual, a highlight of the book. The backstory that is given to other characters is also well done, and those characters are what truly elevated this book to the next level. 10/10 highly recommend.

Unbridged Star Wars Legends!

I'm so glad to see and experience the unabridged versions of the Star Wars Legends novels. Marc Thompson does such a good job. I hope they continue to have him go through the rest of the novels and do those additional recordings in unabridged versions as well.

Wonderful

I read this year’s ago it’s full of cool character storylines that come to fold in survivors quest. Thank you for publishing this book I’m going legally blind and this is one of the best stories I ever read. Thank you for the bonus story too!

Phenomenal performance

Loved that there is finally an unabridged version available. Timothy Zahn doesn’t miss with Star Wars Stories and add in the talented Marc Thompson there’s nothing to dislike!
