About this listen

 Repercussions from the dark side’s fatal seduction of Jacen Solo and the mysterious plague of madness afflicting young Jedi continue to wreak havoc galaxy-wide. Luke and Ben Skywalker are in pursuit of the now masterless Sith apprentice Vestara Khai. It is a chase that leads to the forbidding planet Dathomir.
Meanwhile, Han and Leia Solo are on their own desperate mission, shuttling madness-stricken Jedi from Coruscant to safe haven in the Transitory Mists—and beyond the grasp of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala. But the bold maneuver only intensifies Daala’s fury.
Yet no greater threat exists than that which still waits in the depths of the distant Maw Cluster: A being of pure, ravenous dark-side energy named Abeloth calls out across the stars to Jedi and Sith alike. For some it may be the ultimate source of answers crucial to their survival. For others it could be the ultimate weapon of conquest. But for all, it is a game-changing—and life-altering—encounter and a tactical gambit with unimaginable consequences.

Would you listen to Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Backlash again? Why?

Yes, a great adventure with great characters and plenty of links back to previous books.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked watching (listening) to Luke learning more and more to trust in Ben's investigative skills and instincts as they try to figure out what Vistara is really up to.

What does Marc Thompson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Marc Thompson is a fantastic narrator giving each character distinction with the voice he uses.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would love to have listened to it in one sitting, but I'm not sure I could focus that long! 45 min segments left me wanting more each time.

Any additional comments?

A brilliant book in a brilliant series, the intrigue just keeps growing deeper and a cliffhanger? I need the next one now!

A great adventure
