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.© and (P)2005 Lucasfilm Ltd. and TM.

First of all, I love Zahn. But this is a hard book to get into if you got used to current canon, cause it has many contradictions.

Also, even bigger problem for me is that I got used to Marc Thompson's Thrawn impression which is copying Lars Mikkelsen's Thrawn from Star Wars Rebels. Marc is brilliant while Jonathan is just decent. Not bad, but not nearly as good as Marc who can do so many voices that he practically turns each book into one-man radio drama.

If you love new Thrawn books and are used to new canon, skip this one for now.

Hard to get into with curent canon

Having read the book several times I found parts of this book far more dramatic as an audio book. I did find large parts from the book and story line missing which is why I only gave two stars. If you’ve not read the book then it will be a great introduction to Thrawn.

Good but disappointing audio book
