Story
On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

It is an age of exploration. Jedi travel the galaxy, expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it. Meanwhile, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds in an ever-growing community among near and distant stars. On the close-orbiting planets of Eiram and E’ronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. The two worlds’ hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems.

Separated after Padme's death, they must be made safe at all costs, lest the hope they represent for the future be turned to horror by the new Sith regime, and the unspeakable power of the dark side.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Star Wars publishing at its peak
Over the last 3 decades, Heir to the Empire has garnered near-legendary status within the Star Wars community. It is no surprise why: Zahn captured the essence and spirit of the Star Wars trilogy in an era when the franchise was considered "dead in the water", and spearheaded the revitalization of the franchise. Star Wars may not be where it is today without this novel!
Zahn's writing of both legacy and original characters "fits like a glove". Luke, Han and Leia have evolved in a natural manner 5 years following the events of 1983's Return of the Jedi. Perhaps more surprisingly than the incredible accuracy of these beloved characters, however, is the degreee to which the novel's original characters seamlessly integrate into the Star Wars mythos. Grand Admiral Thrawn, Captain Pellaeon, Mara Jade and Talon Karrde, among others, make their first appearance here, and go on to become Star Wars mainstays for the next decades to follow, oftentimes stealing the show!
Marc Thompson's narration is excellent. His voice acting for the film characters is rather accurate, and his range is immense: nearly every character with dialogue has a distinct voice, tone, and manner of speech, which all lends to making the story feel alive.
Accompanied by John Williams' beautiful score and Ben Burtt's iconic sound effects, this audio production truly breathes new life into the seminal Heir to the Empire.

Too many sound effects
I like star wars, and I like audiobooks, so I thought this would be great. But the sound effects (R2D2, chewbacca, space ships, ect) were too much and distracting, and got very annoying after awhile

A Classic Star Wars Story
Marc Thompson kills it as always.
Heir to the Empire starts out really strong but I feel it loses some of its momentum in the second half.
Zhan writes the main cast very well and makes it really feel like you're watching a movie.
Definitely worth checking out

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.

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.

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.

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
