About this listen

 BioWare and LucasArts—creators of the hugely popular Star Wars:® Knights of the Old Republic® video game—have combined their storytelling talents and cutting-edge technology for an innovative new massively multiplayer online role-playing game that allows players to create their own personal Star Wars adventure 3,500 years before the rise of Darth Vader. Now #1 New York Times bestselling author Sean Williams brings the world of the game to life in his latest novel, Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance.

Tassaa Bareesh, a matriarch in the Hutt crime cartel, is holding an auction that’s drawing attention from across the galaxy. Representatives of both the Republic and the Sith Empire are present, along with a Jedi Padawan sent to investigate, a disenfranchised trooper drummed out of the Republic’s elite Blackstar Squad, and a mysterious Mandalorian with a private agenda. But the Republic’s envoy is not what he seems, the Empire’s delegate is a ruthless Sith apprentice, the Jedi Padawan is determined to do the right thing and terrified that he can’t, the trooper hopes to redeem her reputation, and the Mandalorian is somehow managing to keep one step ahead of everyone.

None of these guests—invited or uninvited—have any intention of participating in the auction. Instead they plan to steal the prize, which is locked inside an impregnable vault: two burned chunks of an exploded star cruiser, one of which may hold the key to the wealth of an entire world.

But the truth about the treasure is dangerous and deadly. And in the end, Sith and Jedi, Republic and Empire, must do something they’ve never done before, something that all the agents of good and evil could never make them do: join together to stop a powerful threat that could destroy the galaxy.

Where does Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

As my 1st Sci-Fi Audiobook, the best! I would measure any other Sci-Fi Novels, especially Star Wars Novels against this book.

What other book might you compare Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance to, and why?

None just yet, as I need to read and listen to more Sci-Fi books, but I would compare the story and performance to any one of the Star Wars Movies.

Which character – as performed by Marc Thompson – was your favourite?

Shigar Konshi, a Kiffar Jedi Padawan under the tutelage of Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan. Marc Thompson's performances for all the characters were top notch but I was mostly intrigued and connected to the character of 'Shigar Konshi'. One 'meeting' sets him on a journey that truly expresses the character's thoughts, feelings and actions in every way and listening to this journey unfold in this audiobook is amazing!

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

No, for me listening to it in stages helped me to anticipate the next part of the story. Which made it more exciting.

Any additional comments?

For any Star Wars fans interested in 'The Old Republic Era', the events of this book are set near the end of 'The Cold War' between the Galactic Republic & the Sith Empire, one year (3643 BBY(means Before the Battle Of Yavin) before resumed hostilities between the two sides in the 2nd Galactic War (3644 BBY).

The story line is great at times the details do start to lose you but Marc Thompson is great at bringing several different characters to life. The build up to the finale is great, although the ending feels rushed and let's it down slightly. However I definitely would recommend as the battle scenes I could of listened to over and over. Will definitely carry on with the series and look forward to the next book.

Still have questions to be answered but that's part of the fun of listening or reading stories, using your own imagination to fill in the blanks. Thoroughly enjoyed even if the ending was slightly disappointing.

Great build up, not so great ending

If you like the deep lore of Star Wars canon, it's perfect. Great exploration of the motivations of the Jedi and the Sith, exciting space battles and lightsaber duels. Very memorable characters. Great performance by the reader.

Interesting and engaging Star Wars tale.

I really liked it . Excellent narration and engaging story. The sound effects are good but the high pitched ringing sound in the background for most of the time was really annoying.

enjoyable read
