Star Wars: The Black Fleet Crisis: Shield of Lies

Book 2

By: Michael P. Kube-Mcdowell

Narrated by: Anthony Heald

As Leia must deal with a new threat to the fragile alliance that binds the New Republic, Lando becomes a prisoner aboard a runaway spacecraft of unknown origin. The ship is following an unstoppable path to its homeworld, destroyed by Imperial forces. Luke continues his quest to learn more about his mother among the Fallanassi, where his every belief about the use of the Force is about to be challenged. And while Leia ponders a diplomatic solution to the aggression of the fierce Yevetha race, Han pilots a spy ship into the heart of Yevethan space and finds himself a hostage on one of the vast fleet of warships under the command of a ruthless leader.

Anthony Heald must go!!

Yet another disappointing read by Heald. The only reason I listen to his reads is out of love for the books, not him!!!

Abridged versions suck

I have read these books before and listening to the abridged versions is just off putting and if you’re following along with the book you lose so much of the extra little details.

Main plot is good. Side plots are less than par.

The whole sideplot of Luke searching for his mother is beyond dull and annoying. The plot with Lando is so far ok(ish). The main plot is fairly well written and entertaining.
