About this listen

 In this Star Wars audio original, delve into the cutthroat world of one of the High Republic’s greatest foes, the merciless Lourna Dee.

The Nihil storm has raged through the galaxy, leaving chaos and grief in its wake. Few of its raiders are as vicious as the Tempest Runner Lourna Dee. She stays one step ahead of the Jedi Order at the helm of a vessel named after one of the deadliest monsters in the galaxy: the Lourna Dee. But no one can outrun the defenders of the High Republic forever.

After the defeat of her crew, Lourna falls into the hands of the Jedi--but not before she hides her identity, becoming just another Nihil convict. Her captors fail to understand the beast they have cornered. Just like every fool she’s ever buried, their first mistake was keeping her alive.

Lourna is determined to make underestimating her their last.

Locked onto a Republic correctional ship, she's dragged across the galaxy to repair the very damage she and her fellow Tempest Runners inflicted on it. But as Lourna plans her glorious escape, she makes alliances that grow dangerously close to friendships. Outside the Nihil—separated from her infamous ship, her terrifying arsenal, and her feared name—Lourna must carve her own path. But will it lead to redemption? Or will she emerge as a deadlier threat than ever before?

I felt like this was out of sync until that last moment was wondering about the nameless the whole time.

The voice acting was pretty good

Every SW audiobook should be done by a fullcast. the best performance ever. The story, the editing, the sound effect, every thing was excellent.

Fullcast is the best

Deeply enjoyed the voice acting, proper sound effects, and especially the look into Lourna's story. It didn't end the way I thought it would, and I enjoyed the surprise.

Thoroughly enjoyable

The full cast was an amazing voice! instead of reading every single prompt as written, it's acted out with STELLAR sound design. plays very much like a radio play! I really hope the next book coming soon is similar to this

Amazing Audio
