About this listen
Heir to the Empire begins five years after Return of the Jedi. The Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet back into a quarter of the territory it once controlled. Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and have shouldered heavy burdens in the government of the new Republic, and Luke Skywalker is the first in a hoped-for new line of Jedi Knights.
But thousands of light-years away, where a few skirmishes are still taking place, the last of the Emperor's warlords have taken command of the remains of the Imperial fleet - and have made two vital discoveries that could destroy the fragile new Republic. The tale that emerges is a towering epic of action, invention, mystery, and spectacle on a galactic scale: in short, a story that is worthy of the name Star Wars.

Narration spoilt the story.
The narration made it hard to get into this book. It was like Spock from Star Trek.

Broken Reading
What would have made Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Book 1: Heir to the Empire better?
Reading the full book rather than just the 4th of the book as it recorded here
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Denis Lawson?
Marc Thompson, would have done better justice to the masterpiece that Timothy Zhan had written
What character would you cut from Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Book 1: Heir to the Empire?
None
Any additional comments?
This recording must be redone with the full book being read as key elements are either lost or completely ignored in favour of the time constraint.
