Publisher's summary

The epic Star Wars odyssey enters a new frontier as the heroes of the New Jedi Order confront a monstrous evil - insidious, unseen, and insatiable.

Despite being given new worlds to populate, the insectoid Killiks have not found peace. An unknown enemy has been attacking the new nests, and the Killiks hold the Jedi responsible. Traveling back to the Unknown Regions to unravel the mystery, the Skywalkers and Solos discover an evil far more familiar than they ever expected...and even more terrifying. Why does the Dark Nest want to kill Mara? Will Jacen's apocalyptic vision trigger another galactic war, or prevent one? And perhaps most ominous of all, what deadly secret are the Killiks hiding?

To find out, Luke, Mara, Han, and Leia must embark on a perilous journey into the uncharted void between right and wrong. The ferocious Unknown Terrors are only the beginning of the awesome challenges that lie ahead in their quest to fathom the unfathomable. For an obscure dispute is about to explode into chaos, pitting Jedi against Jedi and threatening the very galaxy itself.

There’s a universality to the Star Wars franchise, a world so sprawling that no matter who you are, you’re bound to find something—an adventure, a moment, a character—that resonates with you. And if you were to ask any fan, they’d likely be able to recount a memory directly tied to the series. On a 2021 journey from the East Coast to the Outer Rim, one Audible editor and Star Wars superfan saw all of her wildest, most interstellar dreams become reality.

I would listen to the Star Wars store again. I cannot wait for the next book because I love the story.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved that information about the Jedi and the story line about how they cooperate.

Which character – as performed by Jonathan Davis – was your favorite?

My favorite character performed by Jonathan Davis was 3cpo because of the accent. I just love it.

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

Yes, I wanted to listen to it but had other things to do and too long.

Any additional comments?

I have been reading the books and loved the audio books as much.

Story is kinda “Meh”

Not much more to say than that.

**Potential Spoiler**

Super annoying how ridiculous and over-reactive all the leaders are throughout Star Wars. Omas wants the Jedi to solve all his problems. Blames them when they can’t do something that his troops could never do. Then can’t get ahold of Luke for a week and all of sudden that means the Jedi are the enemy. Silly.

Abridged

The only option is abridged. Taking out the whole story. People down buy audio books for abridged versions. If I had the option to buy full book I would have given 5 stars. U want to sell abridged make a second ion for it.

Why only abridged?!?

I love the Star Wars universe and have been reading the novels since they first began appearing. My biggest pet peave however is that the publisher only releases these books in abridged format. This particular series is not well abridged and it bounces around leaving out important information to the story - I feel that by only listening to this series I am missing a lot of the story which carries on in later books. Release them unabridged!

Not the full book

This is an abridged version, don’t buy this unless you only want what the producers consider to be important parts of the story. Unfortunately if you want the entire story you’ll have to read the book instead.

Bad abridging

Interesting continuation of the series but like the first book this one is abridged in a way that makes it very hard to follow what is going on. It seems to jump from event to event with no build up or conclusion for each event. Should be remade unabridged and then I could recommend it but as it is now I would not.

Abridged - Ughh

Abridged audiobooks are a relic of the past, from when there were only audiotape and CD versions available, so why does Audible continue to sell them when so many listeners despise them? If it is not financially prudent to re-record these books in an unabridged format, then Audible needs to PROMINENTLY note the fact that a book is abridged. Nowhere is that mentioned unless a potential purchaser has the time and ability to read customer reviews.
