About this listen
Here is a special edition 20th anniversary release of the number-one New York Times best-selling novel that reignited the entire Star Wars publishing phenomenon - unabridged for the first time. The biggest event in the history of Star Wars books, Heir to the Empire follows the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia after they led the Rebel Alliance to victory in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
Five years after the Death Star was destroyed and Darth Vader and the Emperor were defeated, the galaxy is struggling to heal the wounds of war, Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins, and Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of new Jedi Knights.
But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor’s warlords - the brilliant and deadly Grand Admiral Thrawn - has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic. For this dark warrior has made two vital discoveries that could destroy everything the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance fought so hard to create.
The explosive confrontation that results is a towering epic of action, invention, mystery, and spectacle on a galactic scale - in short, a story worthy of the name Star Wars.

Thoroughly Enjoyable
Always loved this story and was looking to read it again, so figured I'd give the audio book a go. Was plesantly surprised by the great performance of Marc Thompson, but on top of that the added music snippets and sound effects made this a truly fantastic and enjoyable experience that really feed on nostalgia from the original Star Wars trilogy. If you are a fan of Star Wars especially of the EU and this trilogy would absolutely recommend this audio book.

great listen
I had a great time with this Audible.
the pacing of the story was really built up nicely. the sound effects a little distracting at times but in the end really help paint the story.

The pinnacle of Star Wars
Without doubt this trilogy is the absolute best of all the Star Wars books, stories, movies and tv shows. A true masterpiece from Timothy Zahn. Add to that the outstanding performance by Marc Thompson and you have perfection.

Faithful Audio Adaptation of a Great StarWars Book
My 2nd time with this book, I'm really impressed with the narrator, he did an amazing job with all of the voices. The story is great as well, the original Thrawn trilogy is a classic. Such a shame we never got a film adaptation of this.
