A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . .


A thrilling new adventure set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, and—for the first time ever—written entirely from Luke Skywalker’s first-person point of view.

Luke Skywalker’s game-changing destruction of the Death Star has made him not only a hero of the Rebel Alliance but a valuable asset in the ongoing battle against the Empire. Though he’s a long way from mastering the power of the Force, there’s no denying his phenomenal skills as a pilot—and in the eyes of Rebel leaders Princess Leia Organa and Admiral Ackbar, there’s no one better qualified to carry out a daring rescue mission crucial to the Alliance cause.

A brilliant alien cryptographer renowned for her ability to breach even the most advanced communications systems is being detained by Imperial agents determined to exploit her exceptional talents for the Empire’s purposes. But the prospective spy’s sympathies lie with the Rebels, and she’s willing to join their effort in exchange for being reunited with her family. It’s an opportunity to gain a critical edge against the Empire that’s too precious to pass up. It’s also a job that demands the element of surprise. So Luke and the ever-resourceful droid R2-D2 swap their trusty X-wing fighter for a sleek space yacht piloted by brash recruit Nakari Kelen, daughter of a biotech mogul, who’s got a score of her own to settle with the Empire.

Challenged by ruthless Imperial bodyguards, death-dealing enemy battleships, merciless bounty hunters, and monstrous brain-eating parasites, Luke plunges head-on into a high-stakes espionage operation that will push his abilities as a Rebel fighter and would-be Jedi to the limit. If ever he needed the wisdom of Obi-Wan Kenobi to shepherd him through danger, it’s now. But Luke will have to rely on himself, his friends, and his own burgeoning relationship with the Force to survive.

Praise for Heir to the Jedi

“Utterly compelling . . . [The novel] plants readers in Luke Skywalker’s boots in the early days of his heroism, during the weeks after he blew up the Death Star.”—New York Daily News

“An excellent book with rich characters, bubbling humor and poignant emotion.”—Roqoo Depot

“Entertaining . . . action-packed . . . suspenseful.”—New York Journal of Books

“Great . . . [an] entertaining introduction into understanding Luke’s character . . . There are moments in The Empire Strikes Back that I now point to and say, ‘I understand how he got there,’ and it’s because of this novel.”—The Wookiee Gunner

“Pure Star Wars . . . From shoot-outs to narrow escapes, I could practically hear John Williams’s score playing in my head—a credit to Kevin Hearne, to be sure.”—Coffee with Kenobi

“A must-read for fans . . . I left with a much closer understanding of who Luke Skywalker is, and an even deeper admiration for the character. All things are connected in the Force, and I feel more connected to Luke after reading Heir to the Jedi.”—Comicbook

A great story which shows what happened after A New Hope. Perfectly captures the mindset of a Luke from hus first appearance. Luke continues to be a little whiny while trying to learn. Perfectly captures the character.

Marc's narration was stellar in this. His Luke was very similar to Hammel's voice and with every other unique voice just makes the experience 10 times better.

Great story with Great narration.

Get performance as ever but pretty weak story. Predictable quest narrative with little interesting interactions. Should of spent my time and credit listening to some real Sci Fi which isn't from a franchise willing to spin anything out for more money.

Okay

Marc Thompson is a fantastic narrator and kept me captivated. The story is good, but not a classic.

Great performance, good story.

Would you try another book written by Kevin Hearne or narrated by Marc Thompson?

The story was ok - not bad, not good, just about OK. It felt too much like a series of side quests and the sum of the parts didn't really add up to anything.

I hear great reviews about Marc Thompskn, and his overall delivery was good. But his Luke impersonation was not to my liking - he made him out to be too much of a grumpy teenager, whining constantly! It was a good attempt to be an "early" Luke but ultimately it didn't work for me.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

It was all very.... Average.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes.

Did Heir to the Jedi: Star Wars inspire you to do anything?

Hmm... Maybe to be a little more sceptical of other audible reviews!

Mediocre - and an odd vocalisation of Luke...
