About this listen

They are the X-wing fighters: sleek, swift, and deadly. And as the struggle rages across the vastness of space, the fearless men and women who pilot them risk both their lives and their machines. Their mission: to defend the Rebel Alliance against a still powerful and battle-hardened Imperial foe in a last ditch effort to control the stars!

Its very name strikes fear in enemy hearts. So when Rebel hero Wedge Antilles rebuilds the legendary Rogue Squadron, he seeks out only the best, the most skilled, the most daring X-wing pilots. Through arduous training and dangerous missions, he weeds out the weak from the strong, assembling a group of hard-bitten warriors willing to fight and ready to die.

Antilles knows the grim truth: that even with the best X-wing jockeys in the galaxy, many will not survive their near suicidal missions. But when Rogue Squadron is ordered to assist in the assault of the heavily-fortified Imperial stronghold of Black Moon, even the bravest must wonder if any at all will survive.

And if you were to ask any fan, they’d likely be able to recount a memory directly tied to the series. On a 2021 journey from the East Coast to the Outer Rim, one Audible editor and Star Wars superfan saw all of her wildest, most interstellar dreams become reality.

If u haven't read the book it's entertaining

I would say I'm glad I spent a free credit for this only because its abridged. Overall I did enjoy the story.

This is a fantastic Abridged version

The action, voice, music was all worth it.
I remember I bought this on cassette back in the early 2000’s at a yard sale for 5 dollars. I wore the tapes out. As an adult, I can say the story held up and was just as exciting.

Three Hours

This book is of an unbelievable length, and it is truly a shame. The original content of these novels is far lengthier, and to see it abridged thusly is awful.

Way too short

The performance was great but the overall feel of this version vs actually reading the book is that it's too short. I've felt that there was parts missing and it left me wanting more. The narration has made the book into a small episode and I will listen to the rest of the series for sure.

Too many soundeffects

Narator was ok but the amount of soundeffects they crammed in the recording was distracting.

Ok for an abridgment

Call this the movie version of the story. The edit is ok but the full book is far better. But and read it instead of you have the time.

good one

This was a good quick listen, and the abridged version did not leave any important information out. I had read the book prior to listening to it and it was still just as good.

Good, but SEVERELY abridged

Henry Thomas's performance is good, but some of the charters sound too similar. It lacks the details that make it a really good book, as the abridged story just leaves out too much of what make the book so much more enjoyable and complete.
