The second Death Star has been destroyed, the emperor killed, and Darth Vader struck down. Devastating blows against the Empire and major victories for the Rebel Alliance. But the battle for freedom is far from over. As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance - now a fledgling New Republic - presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy's scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy's strength is unfolding.

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

The Empire stands at the brink of total collapse. But they have saved their most heinous plan for last. First a plot is hatched that could destroy the New Republic in a bloodbath of genocide and civil war. Then comes the shocking news that Grand Admiral Thrawn--the most cunning and ruthless warlord in history--has apparently returned from the dead to lead the Empire to a long-prophesied victory.

As ruthless apprentice to Darth Vader, Starkiller was mercilessly schooled in the ways of the dark side, commanded to exterminate the last of the purged Jedi Order, and groomed for the ultimate Sith power play: assassination of the emperor. He served without question, killed without remorse, and lost his heart without warning to beautiful Imperial fighter pilot Juno Eclipse, never suspecting that he was just a tool in the schemes of his masters - until it was too late to escape their lethal betrayal. Juno mourned Starkiller as dead...but now he is back....

For the handful of scattered Jedi, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy somehow, someday reclaimed. Yet more important still is the well-being of the twin infants, Leia and Luke Skywalker, the children of Anakin and his doomed bride, Padme Amidala. Separated after Padme's death, they must be made safe at all costs, lest the hope they represent for the future be turned to horror by the new Sith regime, and the unspeakable power of the dark side.

When the Imperial prison barge Purge - temporary home to 500 of the galaxy's most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves - breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a star destroyer found drifting, derelict, and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back - bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine.

meh
Although better than the first in the series, I found myself wanting it to be over. That's a shame because I love almost all the star wars series books. I found the performance anoying at points. It was like listening to a reality show gone bad.

disappointing
Extremely disappointing conclusion. I was expecting there to be something of relevance seeing as this was the books leading up to the force awakens but no it's probably nothing more than a lead up to the new thrawn book.

Disappointing to the last.
The Aftermath series in general was a waste of time. What I wanted from this trilogy was insight to how the Empire grew into the First Order, new adventures from beloved characters accurately depicted, and how the Jedi could return to the galaxy. Three books later, I got nothing.

Dreadful. Simply dreadful.
The best part of this series was that it ended. maybe one books Worth of story, poorly stretched into a trilogy. And as bad as some Expanded Universe authors were, Wending takes the prize as the all time worst. The Star Wars Christmas Special was a classic by comparison. I wish I could give it less then 1 star.

possibly the worst of the aftermath books
this may be the worst in the series. the story is slow and the time frame muddled. the last few chapters are cut together in such a way that it's hard to determine how long the final battle last. every choice made is the stupid choice but it all works out because each dumb choice comes with its own saving dues ex machina.
three books in and the author still doesn't understand that not every paragraph needs at least one simile. it is perhaps the most annoying thing about these books. especially since some of the similes are only usable on earth. one person says sober as a vicar. did the church of England make it star wars?
Thompson does his usual job and besides from a few rough voices he does good. the performance is above average.
spoilers below possibly
the book does little to further the star wars story. we get a vague idea of how the first order starts at the end of the book but still absent are any details of snook.
the characters are some of the least likeable in the star wars universe. Nora wexly being one of the worst. in the first chapters she abandons her son in the middle of an imperial blockade to take an escape pod. everyone in this book exhibits terrible and selfish choices that somehow always work out.
all in all you can skip this and just read the wiki summary. save your money for another star wars story.

Fine performance. Middling story.
There is some good insight into the fall of the Empire and origins of the first order. The politics of the day as well. But that doesn't hide the medicore and predictable story. And my God someone send Temmin to his room.

the overall story is good but drawn out. this story and the overall trilogy promise to tell us about Han, Luke and Leia and only peppers in bits about them among stories of other characters we care little about.

The force is not strong with this one
What did you like best about Empire's End: Aftermath? What did you like least?
Liked Best: Marc Thompson's performance. He brings life to even weak story lines.
Liked Least: Inclusion of JarJar !!!!! Need anything else be said? Granted it was a very minor part of the story, but it was traumatic for me.
Has Empire's End: Aftermath turned you off from other books in this genre?
No - I will still listen to other Star Wars stories, but not with the same anticipation previous story lines have given.
Why is Luke never a part of the story?
Which scene was your favorite?
I cannot say I liked any scene enough to call is a favorite.
Do you think Empire's End: Aftermath needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Maybe - it would be interesting to see how certain characters develop in the upcoming big story.
Any additional comments?
NEVER bring JAR JAR back - EVER

Origin of the First Order revealed.
If you like vague Easter eggs, this book is for you. It really didn't bridge the destruction of the second death star. However, this book does reveal the formation of the First Order. This entire trilogy should have been a short story.

Ho hum part III...do not waste your time
Not really sure why anyone would buy these books if Disney is going to continue publishing this underachieving garbage. Completely sub par compared to any Karpyshyn or Luceno novel. Disney is ruining Star Wars one story at a time. I'm done with this!

a fitting conclusion
highly enjoyable listen, Marc Thompson brings all the characters to life. very much enjoyed the story, very star-wars-y without relying too much on repeating beats from the movies/TV series. would very much enjoy a graphic novelisation, and highly recommend the trilogy for Star Wars fans young and old.

A lame ending to a lame trilogy
I don't even know where to start with these books. The first was terrible, the second marginally less so and the third right back up there with the first.
The trilogy really does absolutely nothing to lead you on to The Force Awakens, and in nearly every instance feels like characters are being created at random just so Disney can have more to tell more lame stories about (for the purpose of making more money, rather than adding real substance to the Star Wars genre and universe)
The only positive element of this production was the voice acting, which was excellent.
So to summarise, badly written, utterly underwhelming and hugely disappointing on all counts, save the actual audio.
