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.

For the handful of scattered Jedi, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy somehow, someday reclaimed. Yet more important still is the well-being of the twin infants, Leia and Luke Skywalker, the children of Anakin and his doomed bride, Padme Amidala. 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.

They're all gone. We remember them like yesterday: pieces of our stolen heritage. Things like NASA. Football. Parades and pies. Good things, comfortable things. We remember a time when we were alone in the universe, safe and oblivious. But it's all gone now. We called them the Telestines, and in the face of their ruthless invasion we were powerless. By 2040, all the world's governments and militaries had fallen, and the remnants of humanity exiled to the solar system. We looked down on our blue planet, so close to our birthplace, so close to our home.

They tried to destroy our planets. Our way of life. They tried to send us into extinction. But we, the Coalition, fought them and won. That was a decade ago. They’re known as the Host: a cabal of aliens seeking to dominate our sector of space. And they’re back - with help from a powerful new enemy. We’re outnumbered and unprepared. But there is hope. An ancient race of long-dead but technologically advanced aliens called the Navigators have a ship called the Blackstar that could potentially turn the tide. That is if I, Kai Locke, a humble ship racer, can find it and learn how to harness its power in time.

While the Cobras are necessary in times of war, in times of peace, they are often reviled by those they have saved.

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Cade Sura holds the future of the galaxy in his hands: the ultimate weapon that will bring total peace. He didn't ask for it, he doesn't want it, and there's no worse choice to wield it in all of space, but if he doesn't, everyone's totally screwed. The evil Praxis kingdom is on the cusp of having every star system under its control, and if that happens, there'll be no contesting their cruel reign. Especially if its fanatical overlord, Ga Halle, manages to capture Cade and snag the all-powerful weapon for herself.

Boss loves to dive historical ships, derelict spacecraft found adrift in the blackness between the stars. Sometimes she salvages for money, but mostly she's an active historian. She wants to know about the past--to experience it firsthand. Once she's dived the ship, she'll either leave it for others to find or file a claim so that she can bring tourists to dive it as well. It's a good life for a tough loner, with more interest in artifacts than people.

On the tiny but strategic planet of Ansion, a powerful faction is on the verge of joining the growing secessionist movement. The urban dwellers wish to expand into the prairies outside their cities–the ancestral territory of the fierce, independent Ansion nomads. If their demands are not met, they will secede–an act that could jump-start a chain reaction of withdrawal and rebellion by other worlds of the Republic.

A great series! Keeps your hungry for more!
Very well done for a Star Wars audiobook. Even though it is abridged, the 6 hour run-time leaves enough material to make this audiobook entertaining. That said, you can still notice gaps where, I assume, material was cut out for the abridgement. This can be annoying after a while. I won't beat around the bush, I loathe any abridgement and I would encourage people to complain to the publisher so that they will begin releasing unabridged versions of these books. Other than that, this book was excellent. Marc Thompson is one of the most talented narrators that I have heard. It is a pleasure to listen to him. The different character voices that he assumes throughout the book are executed flawlessly and I had to keep reminding myself that it was the same person speaking. The writing, sound production, and music were all top notch. I would give this 5 stars if not for the abridgement.
One last thing, stay away from any of the star wars audiobooks that are less than 6 hours in length. They are so butchered by the abridgements, that they are not worth your time or money. Quite a few of these are narrated by Anthony Heald and he is just plain awful. I found this out the hard way. Just remember, Anthony Heald = extremely poor narration. Jonathan Davis = Extremely good narration. Marc Thompson = Outstanding narration.

Such a Drastic Improvement Over Exile
Where does Star Wars: Legacy of the Force #5: Sacrifice rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Probably the best so far. Despite some plot points that just make me angry, this is one of the best audiobooks I've listened to.
Would you be willing to try another book from Karen Traviss? Why or why not?
Of course! I find her to be one of my favorite Star Wars writers, so I'll probably be picking up her Republic Commando series soon!
What about Marc Thompson’s performance did you like?
Everything! Thompson is so great, and combined with the sound effects and music, he's really what makes these worth the audio format.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not really, mostly because I don't have 6 and a half spare hours to listen to audiobooks. I have to space out my reading. 15 minutes in the car on the way to work, during lunch while I eat, etc. I have no doubt this would be something I could binge read.
Any additional comments?
There is a certain story point. One that I won't spoil, but one that understandably upset a majority of the Star Wars audience when they read, or at least found out, what happened. It's something that makes me angry, and a total waste of a character.
A more positive note is the relationship between Mara and Ben. Father's are the central theme in Star Wars (at least in stories involving the Skywalkers). So it's nice to have a mother/son relationship being more developed. Of course Luke is still here, but it's made abundantly clear that Ben has a more loving and focused relationship with his mother, and I really wish that was in here more.
Also, I love how Traviss basically undoes the last novel. She shows Mara being pissed off with Luke's hand gesture with Lumiya bullcrap at the end of Exile, she nearly avoids all mention of Ben's trip to Ziost and whatever that amulet was, and while that weird Sith ship is still present, she at least makes it (somewhat) more interesting.
The production values are back to where they were in the first few novels, the story is getting more interesting, the tide is turning with these characters, and despite me not being able to take the way Jacen pronounces his new name seriously, I'm looking forward to what's coming next!

Won't say why, but if you cried when Chewy and Anakin Solo died, grab some tissue...
Definitely the best of the first six in series. It's during this book when one of those key, pivotal moments in all of Star Wars history occurs. It's pretty brutal.
Actually good in spite of unfortunate abridgment. This series does better with this than others. It doesn't feel disjointed.
Still, HIGHLY recommend the book because you lose a lot of the story.

Ben' s choices
Near the end of this book Ben was given a mission and that is a moment in his future that could change that universe. In my opinion.
And Jacen is going to take one more step to becoming a sith master.

another brilliant star wars book. love it!
the narrator was perfect as always. marc Thompson is a master of his craft and really brings the story to life. Being a fan of Star Wars is even better when I can hear the stories under his interpretation and skill. A brilliant piece of art.

Great story. Abridged versions are too short.
I love the Republic Commando books, and these offer an extension of the Mandalorian characters. Please release the full book!

Awesome!!!!
This is a true Star Wars Universe story in its purest form. It's all excitement from the beginning to the end. And I'm now looking forward to continuing the "Legacy of The Force saga.
The Force Will Be With You..... Always.
