In this epic of unsurpassed action and imagination, Michael Stackpole helps to launch an exciting new era in Star Wars history. Onslaught pits the battle-tested heroes of the past—Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa Solo—along with the next generation of Jedi and droids, against fearsome never-before-encountered enemies from beyond the galactic rim . . .

It is a perilous time for the New Republic. Just when unity is needed most, mistrust is on the rise. Even the Jedi feel the strain, as rogue elements rebel against Luke's leadership. When alien invaders known as the Yunnan Vong strike without warning, the New Republic is thrown on the defensive. Merciless warriors, the Yunnan Vong glory in torture. Their technology is as strange as it is deadly. Most ominous of all, they are impervious to the Force.

Now Luke must wield all the awesome powers of a Jedi Master to defeat the gravest threat since Darth Vader. As Leia and Gavin Darklighter lead desperate refugees in a fighting retreat from Yunnan Vong forces, Mara Jade, Anakin, Jacen, and Corran Horn find themselves tested as never before by a faceless, implacable foe determined to smother the light of the New Republic forever beneath a shroud of darkest evil . . .© and (P)2000 Lucasfilm Ltd. and TM.

Music and effects are too loud compared to the narration. I thought the narration itself was alright but lacked emphasis for the different characters, I sometimes found it difficult to keep up with who was speaking. I also found that, at sections the narration just got too fast, although this was uncommon. Story was great, well thought through and introduces, what I think, is one of the best enemies in the whole of star wars.

Overall story is great, but the narration and effects let it down, I was very tempted to give it a two but it was recorded a very long time ago.

As I was writing this and did a bit of googling for the date of release I discovered the most of the book had been missed out. I haven't read these books but I would like to listen to the whole of them.

The final overall score for me is a 3, great story that was shortened, and poor audio quality. If you like star wars legends content it is great to listen to, but we are paying the same price for this as some of the other great content. I would like this series to be re-done properly with better audio and effects and unabridged.

Great book but with not so much clear narration

lots of content has been skipped?! The whole audio book is only 4 hours long for a 200-300 page book?

this isn't the full book
