Barbara Hambly
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.

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.Luke falls in Love!

Anthony Heald is horrible

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.
This abridged novel stands above the rest..
