Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

By: Sean Williams

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

The overthrow of the Republic is complete. The Separatist forces have been smashed, the Jedi Council nearly decimated, and the rest of the Order all but destroyed. Now absolute power rests in the iron fist of Darth Sidious - the cunning Sith Lord better known as the former Senator, now Emperor, Palpatine.

But more remains to be done. Pockets of resistance in the galaxy must still be defeated and missing Jedi accounted for...and dealt with. These crucial tasks fall to the Emperor's ruthless enforcer, Darth Vader. In turn, the Dark Lord has groomed a lethal apprentice entrusted with a top-secret mission: to comb the galaxy and dispatch the last of his masters' enemies, thereby punctuating the dark side's victory with the Jedi's doom.

Since childhood, Vader's nameless agent has known only the cold, mercenary creed of the Sith. But his future beckons with the ultimate promise: to stand beside the only father he has ever known, with the galaxy at their feet. It is a destiny he can realize only by rising to the greatest challenge of his discipleship: destroying Emperor Palpatine.

The apprentice's journeys will take him across the far reaches of the galaxy. And he will be tested as never before - by shattering revelations that strike at the very heart of all he believes and stir within him long-forgotten hopes of reclaiming his name...and changing his destiny.

Too short...

This was as always a great book. The only thing I believe would even better is if Star Wars Audiobooks were NEVER EVER abridged again

I felt one with the force!

The narrator made it easy to differentiate between characters. I can't wait to listen the second book!

just as good as the game

i loved playing the force unleashed as a kid, and the novle is just as exciting. jonathan davis is one of my favorite narrators that audible uses and i thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook.

Good story

Good story explaining a few things about the rebel alliance. It was nice to understand more character backgrounds.

Darth Vaders Apprentice

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed by Sean Williams is an absolutely amazing video game novel adaptation. Williams follows the same plot of the game while adding a lot of depth to all of the characters. As I said all of the characters in this story have had an amazing amount of work put into them to flesh them out more then their video game counter parts. The story like the game is a roller coaster of a ride. The sound effects and music added into this novel adaptation is absolutely amazing. The lightsaber effects really enhance all of the fight scenes. The narrator Jonathan Davis did a stellar job at telling the story and truly bringing each character to life. All in all I would recommend Star Wars: The Force Unleashed by Sean Williams to anyone who is a fan of Star Wars or Video Game adaptations.

Good story

Good story,
fealt rushed at points and slow at others. pacing was a little off
characters where developed well with only a little for knowledge needed.
would suggest

Outstanding story!

It is definitely a must read for Star Wars fans. It explains the spark that ignites A New Hope and the following movies.

I loved the game and this was 10 times better. The story was super engaging, I literally flew through it in one afternoon. I couldn't stop listening. Galen Marek has to be my favorite Star Wars character.

Wonderful story

The author did an excellent job. Taking a game and putting ing a storyline can't be easy. Jonathan David is a terrific narrator and did a superb job!

a great justice for the game.

I played the game when it first came out and remember it being great. Stark I'll has been my favorite star wars character ever since. I long ago sold the game and wanted to get back into the story so I gave this book a go. normally I stray away from noveltized versions of games or movies. this wood was a wonderful suprise. it in fact did do the game justice. highly recommended.

Great abridgement.

The unabridged version is available, but if you don't have the time to listen, This version is just as good.
