Engaging

I really liked the audio-back version of Backlash. March Thompson really helps bring the story to life with his impersonations of the various characters. His Luke Skywalker and Han Solo voices are pretty dead-on and really sound like Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford, making them truly sound like the characters.

His characterizations of the Sith, the Dathomiri, The GA officials, Imperial officials, and other characters give a sense of the story that just reading the book the normal way does not.

I'd highly recommend any Star Wars audiobook who has Marc Thompson as the narrator/character voices.

hide and seek

i just love Marc Thompsons reading these books. i wished he could read all the books in the world so i could enjoy listening them

Chess Moves!

incredible plot for this book, every turn was difficult to calculate and when whichever character eventually made their move it was decisive and created an even more complex scenario for either the protagonist or antagonist (depends on which side you are on) to manuever out of. Great Book, highly recommended!

Performance applaudable Story barely passable

SPOILER FREE: Marc Thompson was an amazing narrator as always. Production is top notch. All the characters voices are distinct and memorable. Something I wish I could say of the story. Having just finished Fate of the Jedi:Abyss and the second book of the Red Rising Series the week prior. I was excited to dive into a new book. Abyss was an incredible story bringing the mission of the Skywalkers to find out why Darth Caedus came into being. Getting to see my favorite of the Jedi children Anakin Solo even for a second made that book worth it. That story was phenomenal... it was in direct line with the Jedi Lore and helped aid in some understanding into what befell Caedus. I did not finish that series... after the Mara Jade events in Invincible I lost interest. the next two books just werent that great. Honestly after the events of the New Jedi Order Series anything not written by Timothy Zahn pales in comparison.

Other than the fight scene at the Jedi Temple midway... nothing really grabbed my attention.

This is the worst book by Aaron Alston in the star wars universe. I don't believe it to be any fault of his. Just happened to be filler for the story arch. I'm hoping his next will be substantial. It started out decent enough. Political intrigue, pending disaster...then it fell apart. This book is up there with ending of Dark Saber and entire Crystal Star... or should I say down there with them. This book can be skipped. You will miss nothing of note... nothing related to Caedus or the disease ravaging the Jedi. Ben is Anakin Solo's replacement in the Star Wars universe...but no where near as awesome.

Six plot points in the entire book... SPOILERS BELOW but not really if you read the last book...nothing of worth was added

1.) Sith are real.
2.) The rule of two does not apply. I guess they are making a second Khan Army (only conjecture)
3.) Night sisters are force users (you already knew that if you read courtship of princess Leia)
4.) Daala bad. Fell good.
5.) Bucket heads are BAD ARSE but still not Jedi. None even worthy of a name... not kidding
6.) They picked up two people to add to the Skywalker party.

Other than that if you went from the Maw to Dathomir and said... Got who they were chasing... oh snap they have friends END SCENE... you have the entire book important summed up.

Huge waste of time and money. Time is money. I can't have my time back (UNFORTUNATELY). So I guess I'll accept the money.

Another Fine Story of this Series

No Kevin Thompson abridging. Clever Story telling by Mark Thompson. While the first in series remains the best... I enjoyed this as well.
