About this listen

On an epic voyage far beyond the Republic, the Jedi will confront their most extraordinary enemy—and test the limits of honor and sacrifice against their most devastating challenge.

The Clone Wars have yet to erupt when Jedi Master Jorus C’baoth petitions the Senate for support of a singularly ambitious undertaking: the dream of Outbound Flight. Six Jedi Masters, twelve Jedi Knights, and fifty thousand men, women, and children will embark—aboard a gargantuan vessel, equipped for years of travel—on a mission to contact intelligent life and colonize undiscovered worlds beyond the known galaxy.

Unknown to the famed Jedi Master, the launch of the mission is secretly being orchestrated by an unlikely ally: the evil Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who has his own reasons for wanting Outbound Flight to move forward.

Yet Darth Sidious is not the mission’s most dangerous challenge. Once underway, the starship crosses paths at the edge of Unknown Space with the forces of the alien Chiss Ascendancy and a brilliant mastermind named Thrawn. Even Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, aboard Outbound Flight with his young Padawan student Anakin Skywalker, cannot help to avert disaster. What begins as a peaceful Jedi mission is violently transformed into an all-out war for survival against staggering odds—and the most diabolical of adversaries.

The story is a fantastic legends tale, and is a story focused on Thrawn and his introduction to the Republic.

However, don't go in expecting an Obi-wan and Anakin story as the audible description implies.
They are minor side characters in the narrative at best. Even then, they are basically there for no other purpose than saying 'obiwan and anakin are in this'. You could remove them from the narrative entirely and it would play out exactly the same, and it would be a tighter narrative with less filler to boot.

that said, still brilliant and absolutely worth listening to if you enjoy Thrawn.
just be aware it is
1- A Thrawn book, not an obiwan/anakin book.
2- it is a legend's book from old continuity, not Disney Canon (which is by no means a bad thing.)

Great Thrawn story, the description audible have used is a little misleading.

....then this is a must read. Great action, fantastic narrator and quality music and effects really bring the story alive.

If you have read the original Thrawn novels....

If you’re a fan of the original thrawn trilogy, this prequel is a must read! Thrawn’s brilliance is displayed better than ever here, and an awesome look into his origins

Thrawn at his best
