About this listen
Though he is cold and reptilian, Xizor has a certain predatory charisma that not even Leia can completely resist. Against the judgment of Chewbacca, who has promised the frozen Han to keep her from harm, Leia walks willingly into Xizor's lair in a dangerous play of passion and willpower to get the information she needs to defeat him.
And as the struggle between Xizor and Vader intensifies, Luke finds himself the potential prize of two of the most evil entities in the galaxy: one who wants him alive, and one who wants him dead.

In a Galaxy Far Far Away power struggles begin
Great story- abridged but it works well. The music and sound effects can be a little loud but I really enjoyed this. The chase is on for Boba Fett so Han Solo can be rescued but evil forces stir. Bounties for Luke Skywalker endanger the young jedi and trouble abounds. Add in the Rogue Squadron and plans for a major Empire building project its going to be a great ride.

An explanation for the pause in Han Solos rescue
This novel takes place between episodes 5 and 6 and gives a proper tribute to our beloved characters from the original films while introducing some intresting new ones for them to interact with, meanwhile explaining the trials and travels of our characters that acts as a small break In the search for Han Solo. Making the movies more enjoyable knowing what happenes inbetween and setting up the ideas and themes even more so for Return Of The Jedi. I would greatly recommend listening.

Abridged and some poor audio
This abridged version of the book misses some off the funny parts of the original. The sound effects are OK, but there are several parts where the audio misses the effects - especially in the Darth Vader voice parts. Also, all voices sounds similar and there are times where a character voice is different at different points of the book. On the other hand, the story is very good, although a bit childish at times.

please stop talking
read this years ago, thought I'd revisit it, story still holds up.
couldn't finish it, the narrator has quite possibly got the most annoying voice in the known universe, he sounds like mini-me.
his phrasing and timing were ok but the character voices were more annoying than his own (if possible)
I'll be avoiding any titles with his name on it.

Excellent Build up to Return of the Jedi
Loved the game back in the day. This was a great expansion on it. Would have been a great additional film between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
