Star Wars: The Corellian Trilogy: Assault at Selonia

Book 2

By: Roger MacBride Allen

Narrated by: Anthony Heald

The blockbuster adventures of Star Wars "RM" continue in the second book of the Corellian trilogy...

Assault At Selonia

Imprisoned on the planet Corellia, Han Solo finds himself at the mercy of his "dark side" cousin, Thracken Sal-Solo. Thracken plans to restore the Imperial System and seize total power -- no matter what the cost. Han has one chance to stop him. But to do so he must turn his back on his human cousin and join forces with a female alien. Dracmus was arrested as a ringleader in a plot against the corrupt Human League. Now she and Han will attempt a daring escape to Selonia in time to warn Leia, Luke Skywalker, and Lando of Thracken's plan. But can Hart trust the alien to keep her word?

Meanwhile, other questions threaten the New Republic -- and the lives of millions. Who is behind the deadly Starbuster plot? Why is someone attempting to take possession of Corellia's powerful planetary repulsors? And what is the secret behind the mysterious Centerpoint Station, an ancient artificial world of unknown origin that has suddenly -- and inexplicably -- come alive?© and (P)1995 Lucasfilm Ltd. and TM.

I enjoyed his story and his kids stories after the fall of the empire. This is volume three I believe. Check it out when you can.

My book review

This is a great book to read. It was my first Star Wars book that I ever got and Christmas of 1995.

Mixed feelings

First off, this is a huge improvement to previous Anthony Heald abridgements, the guy is a pretty good reader when he's actually given some good material. If you're comparing ANY narrator to Marc Thompson or Johnathan Davis you will be disappointed!
As for the audiobook itself, this middle entry of the Corellian Trilogy could have easily used an extra hour or hour and a half to the abridgement. I've never read the book for myself but I could very easily tell there was quite a bit of setup missing from this audiobook that I would have appreciated. Most of the abridged Star Wars books I have read so far are somewhere in the range of 3 hours so I'm thinking it is a restriction that was placed on them, if it was extended to maybe 4 and a half hours I think there would be some major improvements.

Really hate abridgment

Hate that it’s abridged feels like it’s edited for content except that it’s just cut to make it short

Book skips major sections of the book on each page

Very disappointed that this book skips a lot of paragraphs on each page. It's bad
