Publisher's summary
In Children of the Jedi, Barbara Hambly introduces a new character: Callista, a brave Jedi warrior of long ago who gave her life to foil one of the Empire's darkest plans, a plot to destroy a stronghold that was a sanctuary for the families of Jedi knights.
The plot involved a dreadnaught, one of the Empire's most devious inventions, governed by a sophisticated artificial intelligence. Crippled during the war against the Empire, the vessel has drifted through space for years. But now it is slowly reactivating and resuming its inexorable mission. Only Luke Skywalker can feel its evil presence as well as the mysterious influence of that powerful woman who should have died decades ago.

In the 25th century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person's consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve") making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

Story
Mankind was beginning its third leap into the Galaxy, but Old Earth had so long kept to herself that her people were unable to travel safely among the rough-and-tumble cultures that had evolved on distant worlds. That annoyed Earth's rulers, for Hobart Floyt--a minor Terran bureaucrat-- had been left a mysterious inheritance by the deceased ruler of a small but wealthy interstellar empire.

Geoff and his friends live in Phocaea, a distant asteroid colony on the Solar System's frontier. They're your basic high-spirited young adults, enjoying such pastimes as hacking matter compilers to produce dancing skeletons that prance through the low-gee communal areas, using their rocket-bikes to salvage methane ice shrapnel that flies away when the colony brings in a big (and vital) rock of the stuff, and figuring out how to avoid the ubiquitous surveillance motes.

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.

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.

Luke falls in Love!
Would you listen to Star Wars again? Why?
I love Star Wars, and so I have read or listened to a lot of the books. I plan to work my way through the rest. In this regard, the audio versions allow me to get through the stories faster.
If you’ve listened to books by Barbara Hambly before, how does this one compare?
This was the first Barbara Hambly story I have listened to. It was more of a science fiction book than one of political intrigue. It wasn't my favorite SW book, but I still am glad I listened to it.
Which character – as performed by Anthony Heald – was your favorite?
I liked Callista the best. The love that developed between Luke and Callista was the best part of the story.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I don't like to read or listen to a book in one sitting. I like to read a little, reflect, read a little more, and reflect a little more. In this way I savor the book.
Any additional comments?
This book was a stand-alone story, but it was also the first book in the unofficial Callista Trilogy. The abridgment was a little severe on this. I wish they had included more details from the print version. But all in all, I am glad I listened to this. The Callista romance was a good story line for Luke.

This abridged novel stands above the rest..
And all in negative ways.
I’ve knowingly spent/wasted credits on abridged SW novels. Even plenty of three-hour books. And this is the first time I can genuinely say “WTF is going on??” The story is so confusing to follow. Characters have no setup. And only the last 40 min or so are even entertaining.
We all know AH shouldn’t be narrating SW books. All the complaints have been covered. But this novel gave a brand new one. AH made Mara Jade sound like Caitlyn Jenner. To the point he/she popped in my head involuntarily when Mara randomly shows up here and there. Also why is it only the AH novels that they use that same exact annoying scream/TIE fighter sound for every character? Must be the B Team soundboard I guess.
**Not really spoiler but just in case**
This is basically the movie HER but Luke Skywalker instead of Joaquin Phoenix.

Good Book, Awful Narrator
Need does the guy talk soft and then blare sound effects. Also, he doesn't have the best narrator voice, probably why he has to use sound effects, but the sound effects are so loud so you have to turn the volume down, but he talks so soft so you have to turn them volume up, but... God dammit!

mild spoiler alert. Palpa-teen, NOT Palpa-tyn.
I absolutely love the story. the meeting between Luke and Clarissa spun me around I could almost feel the Force connection. the plot takes some very interesting turns and the children of the Jedi are way worse than anything that ever came out of a cornfield. I had issues with the narrator. in my humble opinion he sounds rushed. he can't say the emperor's name correctly which surprisingly is really annoying. I am a big fan of January LaVoy I think her work is great she would have been better here. I can hear you guys screaming Mark Thompson Mark Thompson but the queen deserves some time behind the microphone as well.

The book itself? Great. The narrator? Terrible
It's incredibly obvious the way this narrator pronounces names and places that he has NO IDEA wtf he's even reading. If you're going to hire people to read a book out loud, make sure they at least know what tf they're even reading.
