Description
Here is a special edition 20th anniversary release of the number-one New York Times best-selling novel that reignited the entire Star Wars publishing phenomenon - unabridged for the first time. The biggest event in the history of Star Wars books, Heir to the Empire follows the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia after they led the Rebel Alliance to victory in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
Five years after the Death Star was destroyed and Darth Vader and the Emperor were defeated, the galaxy is struggling to heal the wounds of war, Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins, and Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of new Jedi Knights.
But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor’s warlords - the brilliant and deadly Grand Admiral Thrawn - has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic. For this dark warrior has made two vital discoveries that could destroy everything the courageous men and women of the Rebel Alliance fought so hard to create.
The explosive confrontation that results is a towering epic of action, invention, mystery, and spectacle on a galactic scale - in short, a story worthy of the name Star Wars.

L'épisode 7 original
Ce qui faisait office d'épisode 7 de star wars avant qu'il n'y ait un véritable épisode 7, le roman qui a vraiment lancé l'univers étendu de star Wars. Très bon récit qui reste vraiment encré dans l'univers Star Wars (et qui ne part pas dans des délires de clone de l'empereur). On reste avec les personnages de la trilogie originale, Luke, han, Leia, lando et quelques nouveaux, dont le charismatique Amiral Thrawn, le "méchant". Ceci est la première partie d'une trilogie, il n'y donc pas vraiment de conclusion. Le narrateur est très bon, ils utilisent de nombreuses voix pour les différents personnages, dont une imitation de Harrison Ford des plus convaincantes. Par contre je pourrais reprocher la voix de l'interprète wookie assez difficile à supporter. J'ai aussi trouvé que le volume de la voix de C3PO était beaucoup plus élevé que les autres. Sinon des bruitages et musiques tirés directement des films viennent accompagner la narration pour plus d'immersion, sans être trop envahissants. Bref, j'ai passé un bon moment, j'ai hâte d'écouter la suite et j'espère qu'une traduction française verra le jour pour que plus de monde puisse en profiter.

stop the sound effects on those audio books
The sounds effects ruins everything. Sometine you can barely hear the dialogs. Most of the time its ridiculously repetitive.

It's about time!
Marc Thompson is a fantastic narrator. I've listened to many of his books, and loved every one. I encourage everyone to buy this book immediately. We need to show that if they release unabridged star wars audio, then we'll buy it! It appears they've stopped making the horrible abridged releases already. However, I really hope this starts a new trend of releasing old star wars books unabridged. Hopefully it's not a one time thing.
As for the book, it's also fantastic. There are plenty of reviews of the material in the book on Amazon. Buy it. You'll love it.

Beware of this book!
This audiobook feature promises many annotations from Timothy Zahn and much more, to which is true to a very slight degree, but nothing like what is promised in the Product Summary. I downloaded this audiobook as it's finally available in unabridged formatting, and the promised novella isn't in the download, so I strongly suggest those wishing to read that novella to either purchase the hardcover edition of this book, or to contact Audible's customer support and request an explanation. Because selling a product or service and not delivering on a promise is blatant false advertisement. So I urge true fans of Zahn's work to beware, and get this resolved.

Finally! Unabridged after 20 years!
Would you consider the audio edition of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (20th Anniversary Edition) to be better than the print version?
Heir to the Empire was the very first book that ignited my passion for literature as a teenager. Imagine my disappointment when this wonderful book could only be found as an abridgment in audio format. Now, with the 20th anniversary, the fans are rewarded by an unabridged version of Heir to the Empire. I would highly recommend to anyone who has ever loved the Star Wars series, that they read/listen to this story. Fans of the SW saga will be delighted by the same level of action and intrigue Timothy Zahn placed into this book as George Lucas put into the series. Whether you are a life-long SW fan or new to the series, you will not be disappointed by this series. Hopefully, the fans will not have to wait too long for the rest of the Thrawn trilogy to be available in an unabridged format.
What did you like best about this story?
The interaction between the original characters was wonderful and true to the movies. The new characters were also marvelously developed and wonderfully complex. This book does indeed read like the 7th episode in the SW saga.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
They may have defeated the Emperor and Darth Vader, but the Empire may not be as defeated as they think.

Perfect
This book is one of the best Star Wars books that I have ever read and when it became available on audible I jumped at the chance to experience this riveting story again. The audio version of this book is excellent. Marc Thompson portrays every character very well in distinct voices. This rendition also contains music and sound effects. At first I found the sound effects very jarring and would take me out of the story. Fortunately I got used to these sound effects and instead of detracting from the story they reinforced the performance. After I listened to Heir to the Empire I was excited to continue listening. I looked up when Dark Force Rising would be released in anniversary edition, and discovered that it will only be released if Heir to the Empire preforms well enough. I hope that Marc Thompson narrates that version if it comes out or if it doesn't then he narrates the the complete trilogy anyway.

Star Wars: Heir To the Empire
This is my first Star Wars book and also the first time I had heard Marc Thompson narrate a book. I was impressed with this reading of the book. This book also has sound effects. The book kept me interested with good story line and lots of action. I could visualize the characters better because I had seen the movies. The book ended with a to be continued.

Finally!!!!!!!
This is a great addition! Like a previous reviewer mentioned we need more Star Wars books that are unabridged and Marc Thompson as the narrator. This is the book that started it all for the expanded universe and is a must read for any Star Wars fan. I just hope they continue the series with the following books. Truly a great production with sounds and Thompson at the helm.

Good story, but were the sound effects necessary?
Any additional comments?
I have that kind of autism that is very sensitive to repetitive noises. It makes me want to gauge out my eardrums. So I found the sound effects in this production very distracting.
Granted, I LOVED the Imperial March and the lightsaber sounds. It's the constant background noises that stopped me from enjoying the story. There are constant beeps and chirps to make ambiance and it drove me NUTS.
If you don't mind noises that take away from the narrators voice, I highly recommend this audiobook.

Das perfekte Hörbuch! Nein, wirklich.
20 Jahre ist es nun her, seit ich die Erstausgabe von "Erben des Imperiums" in einer Zeit las, als Star Wars quasi am Tropf hing.
Nachdem man nach acht Jahren die Hoffnung auf eine offizielle Fortsetzung aufgegeben hatte, kam Timothy Zahn und spann um unsere liebsten Charactere eine faszinierende und spannende neue Trilogie.
Man male sich aus, wie die Prequels.... Nein, ich bin gar nicht bitter! Die Originalversionen auf Blu Ray... Ach nee, auch nicht. Aber ich schweife ab.
Die Story ist selbstverständlich über alle Zweifel erhaben. Was hier jedoch an Produktionsdesign eingeflossen ist, erhebt dieses Werk schon fast in den Status eines One-Man Hörspiels.
Marc Thomson ist überidisch in seiner stimmlichen Bandbreite. Han, Luke und auch Exoten wie Ackbar werden täuschend echt gesprochen. Die Frauenstimmen sind zwar nicht perfekt aber differenziert.
Thrawn, Pellaeon und Joruus C'baoth (endlich weiß ich wie man den ausspricht!) besitzen alle klar unterscheidbare Stimmen.
Chewbacca und die Droiden werden vom Sounddesigner perfekt eingewoben.
Und überhaupt ist das gesamte Hörbuch mit Soundeffekten und Musik untertermalt.
Dies geschieht jedoch jederzeit passend, nie aufdringlich und lassen beim Hörer ein Hörerlebnis aufkommen, das Seinesgleichen sucht.
Für Star Wars Fans und leicht Interessierte, die der englischen Sprache mächtig sind, ist dies ein Pflichtkauf.

Spannende Geschichte - nervige Hintergrudgeräusche
Was genau hätte man an Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (20th Anniversary Edition), The Thrawn Trilogy, Book 1 noch verbessern können?
Wie kann man nur so absolut entnervende Hintergundgeräusche einspielen? Mal übertönt das Lasergezucke den Sprecher. Mal soll ein kontinuierlicher Pfeifton 10 Minuten lang den Jetantrieb in der unendlichen Weite des Weltraums hinterlegen. Weniger wäre hier deutlich mehr gewesen. Wäre die spannende Geschichte nicht gewesen, hätte ich nicht wieder eingeschaltet und weiter gehört.

The book didn't age well
I love Star Wars and I am currently listening to a lot audio books, but this one is just too dusted. As one of the early books after the original movies, they try to revisit every scene and parade all the known characters around. Because of this one can predict most scenes and the story drags on.
Sound effects and voice acting were good, although some characters like Han are voiced too cheesy, as are most of the females.

Is doesn't get better than this.
If you buy an audiobook you expect someone to read out loud a story someone else wrote, so you have expectations regarding the writer and the reader. Never before did I encounter an audiobook which I would describe as "the best way possible", or "it doesn't get better than this".
At first, I'd like to talk about the performance and production value of this audiobook.
Marc Thomson delivers a voice acting performance I've never before witnessed while listening to an audio book. He brings the characters to live with different voices and a contrasting way of speaking that is incredible. Not even on previous Star Wars audiobooks did he such a great job and I already praised him for his performance in for example "Darth Bane". In this one, he does it even better.
Also, the production value is gigantic. Not only is there original Star Wars music added to many parts of the performance, it also fits all the time and never feels unnecessary or distracting.The same is true for the many different sound effects like R2D2's beeps or Chewi's growls. It is simply incredible.
Now to Zahn's Story. Obviously it is split over three books so you will not get the entire Thrawn storyline in this audiobook alone, but this one - the first of the three - will introduce you to a lot of new and exciting characters while also doing to familiar ones like Luke, Han and Leia justice, by once again throwing them into the fray to save the New Republic.
With Thrawn, Zahn created one of the, if not the most interesting character in all of Star Wars. This time, the villain isn't a dark evil person with mystical powers that likes to torture enemies and their own alike, no. This time, the villain is a tactical genious, who respects his own people and scares his enemies, not with a dark cloak, but with an incredible omniscience and understanding of what they would do in certain situations. This one is never dull, never repetitive and always very inventive and interesting. Probably one of the best Star Wars book series to date.
I absolutely recommend this audiobook to everybody that loves Star Wars and Science Fiction in general. I'd be pleased to know what you thought about a certain Grand Admiral.

very satisfying Edition!
I think I don't need to write about the book. I always liked the Thrawn-Trilogy a lot, so I was a bit doubtful if an audiobook might spoil the stories for me.
But, what I hadn't really imagined from the short audio sample I listened to before buying " Heir to the Empire": Marc Thompson is a genius! He got every single person right, I think, and he is even able to read a Wookie (namely Ralrra).
I'm very happy with these 3 audiobooks!

Marc Thompson - der englische Rufus Beck
ich höre engl. Hörbücher, um mehr Routine in der englischen Sprache zu bekommen und habe auch schon mehrere ausprobiert. Marc Thompson schafft es den verschiedenen Charakteren individuelle Stimmen zu geben (ähnlich wie es auch Rufus Beck in dt. Hörbücher so hervorragend umsetzt)
Manchmal gibt er sich etwas zu viel Mühe, z.B. hat General Ackbar oder der Wookie Ralrra sind aufgrund ihres individuellen Charakters etwas schlechter zu verstehen, aber ansonsten spricht Marc Thompson sehr deutlich. Eine Freude ihm zu zu hören, auch wenn Englisch nicht die eigene Muttersprache ist.

Brilliant SW experience
The story and plot of Heir to the Empire is much more complex and detailed than any OT movie, but at the same time all the reoccurring characters are written faithfully, which is an amazing feat. I loved this experience, as it feels like such a solid continuation of the SW franchise.
On the contrary, I feel like the sound effects were too much at times, made it hard to focus on what was being said, but all the performances were brilliant.
Highly recommend this book to any Star Wars fan, even if you aren’t a fan of the EU.

Tolle Story, miese Soundeffekte
Die Trilogie (bzw. Hexalogie) von Timothy Zahn rund um Großadmiral Thrawn ist meiner Meinung nach das Beste, was das Star Wars Franchise zu bieten hat. Sehr schade, dass das bisher noch nicht verfilmt wurde.
Das Hörbuch ist grundsätzlich gut, der Sprecher sympathisch. Aber die Soundeffekte nerven einfach nur! Vor allem dauerhaft unterlegtes Rauschen, Zwitschern oder sonstiges. Mal ein Soundeffekt hier und da ist ok (würde ich in einem Hörbuch aber auch nicht vermissen), aber die Umsetzung in diesem Hörspiel (denn so kann man echt nicht mehr von einem Hörbuch reden) ist echt übel!
