Vector Prime: Star Wars (The New Jedi Order)

By: R.A. Salvatore

Narrated by: Anthony Heald

Twenty-one years after the Battle of Endor, the New Republic will face an even darker enemy. . . .

More than two decades after the heroes of the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Death Star and broke the power of the Emperor, the New Republic has struggled to maintain peace and prosperity among the peoples of the galaxy. But unrest has begun to spread and threatens to destroy the Republic’s tenuous reign.

Into this volatile atmosphere comes Nom Anor, a charismatic firebrand who heats passions to the boiling point, sowing seeds of dissent for his own dark motives. And as the Jedi and the Republic focus on internal struggles, a new threat surfaces from beyond the farthest reaches of the Outer Rim—an enemy bearing weapons and technology unlike anything New Republic scientists have ever seen.

Suddenly, Luke Skywalker; his wife, Mara; Han Solo; Leia Organa Solo; and Chewbacca—along with the Solo children—are thrust again into battle, to defend the freedom so many have fought and died for. But this time, the power of the Force itself may not be enough. . . .© and (P)1999 Lucasfilm Ltd. and TM.

Not bad but..

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would, if my friend was a star wars audiobook junky who ran out of unabridged star wars books to enjoy

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

It needs to be redone with a production like that of the newer stuff, Heir of the Empire, Legacy of the Jedi or Fate of the Jedi

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Chewy's death

Any additional comments?

It seems like a great story that absolutely needed to be unabridged and the production similar to that of the newer stuff and narrated by Marc Thompson. For the desperate Star Wars fan, it had to do.

bad reading

after listening to the Thrawn Trilogy, read by Mark Thompson, this guy seems weak. it is almost like he isn't a star wars fan.

length

I would have preferred to have an unabridged version over this abbreviated version. In audio books longer is always better than shorter. This shortened versions meant for the old public radio broadcast should be replaced by the unabridged version in all cases.

Don’t waste your $, Buy the paper book

Excellent story, too short; kinda remember the paper back book being much longer.

The narrator shouldn’t be allowed to speak, cringe beyond words.

Spoiler: The Death of an Iconic Star Wars Character deserved better; far better than the excrement that K.K. Defiled our childhood dreams and hopes with… F!!! K.K.!!!
