Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra, rogue archaeologist, is in trouble again.
A pioneer in the field of criminal xenoarchaeology, Aphra recognizes no law, has no fear, and possesses no impulse control. To her, the true worth of the galactic relics she discovers isn’t found in a museum, but in an arsenal. This viewpoint has led to a lot of misunderstandings. After her latest plan goes horribly wrong, her criminal past is on the verge of catching up to her, when suddenly Darth Vader, terror of the galaxy, swoops in with his lightsaber ignited, and...saves her life?
Don’t get her wrong—it’s not like she’s ungrateful. Sure, her new boss is a lord of the Sith. And OK, she may have just become a pawn in a deadly game being played by him and HIS boss, who happens to be the Galactic Emperor. And yes, the life expectancy of anyone who disappoints Vader can be measured in seconds.
But she’s back doing what she does best. She’s got a ship to fly, a heist to pull, and two unorthodox but effective metal buddies: Triple-Zero, a protocol droid specializing in etiquette, customs, translation and torture, and BT-1, an astromech loaded with enough firepower to take down a battlecruiser. Together, they might just find a way to get the job done and avoid the deadly performance review that waits at its conclusion.
Just kidding. She’s doomed.

Superb!
Having tried and abandoned the Dooku production last year I was somewhat apprehensive about buying Doctor Aphra. I needn't have worried. The narration is pacy and funny, driving the story forward with well-drawn scenes and characters.
As some reviewers have noted, the interaction with characters from the OT are a little substandard in voice acting and for me only serve to caution against new productions such as this treading so closely to old and familiar ground. All the new stuff in this works brilliantly and could stand more on its own. Having said that, the constant menace of Darth Vader is an important and welcome factor in the story.

Fantastic Star Wars Character
I loved this story! It's Star Wars so the sounds were immersive and the performances were well done. But Doctor Aphra is a fantastic character too. So sure of herself and with some tragic flaws she occupies the grey area in Star Wars morality.

Good adaptation of the Vader comic
This is a good interpretation of the comic into audio novel format. I wasn’t sure how well it would work but it’s pretty good. Well read by Emily Woo Zeller and a great supporting cast

The force is strong with this one
Dr Aphra is the cold hearted yet vulnerable mix of han solo and Indiana Jones. A women who gets into all sorts of trouble, has a way with the ladies and that works for Darth Vader!!

Amazing!
One of the best Star Wars audiobooks I have read/heard in a long time. Doctor Aphra is an amazing new character, and the story is fantastic. Just bought the Doctor Aphra omnibus comic because of this! Highly recommended.

A great retell of a great story
I'd say they are going into right direction with these audiobooks, although I think there are improvements to be made.
For example, the voice acting was brilliant in my opinion. However, I think they could find more fitting voices to certain characters. Especially if those characters are likely to appear in future audiobooks.
And then there is the story. It's based on Marvel's Darth Vader comics from 2015, which was one of the best comics series (in my opinion), but I never felt like it needed to be retold from a slightly different perspective. On the other hand, it's nice to listen to this and follow the comics in the same time for visuals. Because they used the same lines here as in the comics it was quite simple to do so. However, it also means they sold us the same story the second time. With a few addition to be fair, mainly from Aphra's past, but in the galaxy so rich as Star Wars, I would really prefer new epic stories.
For people who are considering buying this audiobook, I'd suggest that there are better Star Wars audiobooks and you can still get this story in a different format. However, if you really want Doctor Aphra's story in audio format then you are still getting a pretty decent product (in my opinion).
