Publisher's summary

The Alliance Fleet mounts a major campaign against a deadly warlord. Tyrant Ysanne Isard has taken control of Thyferra, intending to use its supply of medicinal bacta to destabilize and destroy the New Republic. Undermanned and deprived of Alliance support, Rogue Squadron must oppose Isard's plans, defeat her Star Destroyer fleet, and free Thyferra from her rule in a winner-take-all battle against a seemingly superior force.

My Favorite X-Wing Novel

My favorite of the X-wing books. REALLY hoping they do an unabridged version. Finally going through and buying/listening to all the abridged ones after the recent Rogue Squadron unabridged version release. This has always been my favorite series in the EU.

Interesting editing

The abridged version took some interesting choices. Story and performance are fine but I prefer the unabridged version.

Abridgment and narrator leave a little to be desired

The narrators accents are muddled at best, perhaps on purpose, perhaps by accident, but it can make him difficult to follow at times. That being said it won't prevent me from getting other books in the series. I only wish they had produced an unabridged collection.

Missing parts of the original book

The narration was not too bad, sound effects were ok, but bits of the book were missing. Small sections of the story were not narrated into the audio book

Hard listen for a 'core' Star Wars fan

What didn’t you like about Anthony Heald’s performance?

Everybody is an old man with this readers voice.

Any additional comments?

I have read all the books and looked forward to listening at work. The first three were rough with Henry Thomas; barley into book 4 and wishing they were done by Mr Thomas. Seems these books were read by whom ever would do the work. Fictional stories need to be done by those who can perform a miriad of voices. Christian Rummel, who narrated The Lost Fleet series, would be a great improvement. His ability made listening to a story I had never read/heard before, an amzing jorney.
