Disney and Penguin Random House worked to take the classic Star Wars books that are now dubbed Star Wars Legends (aka non-canonical) and releasing them with new versions of audiobooks. The next two releases on August 2nd! The Krytos Trap: Star Wars Legends features Marc Thompson telling the story from Michael A. Stackpole. The trap of Krytos is the third entry in the Rogue Squadron series and focuses on the rebel forces that have taken Coruscant but have a lot of problems while they were there.
The rebels have taken over the world of Coruscant Imperial Headquarters, but their troubles are far from over. A killer virus called Krytos is spreading among the population and fomenting a counter-revolution in the heart of the New Republic. At the same time, rebel hero Tycho Celchu is on trial for treason, accused of killing his fellow pilot and fellow pilot, Corran Horn. Corran, however, is still alive but trapped in the inevitable secret prison of Ysanne Isard, the imperial officer whose reputation for torture and cruelty has earned her the unofficial nickname “Heart of Ice”. As he fights for his freedom, the pilot discovers an extraordinary power in himself: the power of the Force!
The other new audiobook is Shadow Hunter: Star Wars Legendswhich is a book about fan favorite Darth Maul. Sam Wiwerwho voiced Maul The wars of the clones And rebelsnarrates the book written by Michael Reaves. What a delight indeed!
After years of waiting in the shadows, Darth Sidious is taking the first step in his master plan to bring the Republic to its knees. The key to his plan are the Neimoidians of the Trade Federation. Then one of his Neimoidian contacts disappears and Sidious doesn’t need his Force-honed instincts to suspect betrayal. He orders his apprentice, Darth Maul, to hunt down the traitor. But it’s too late. The secret has already passed into the hands of information broker Lorn Pavan, which places it at the top of Darth Maul’s hit list. Then, in the labyrinthine alleys and sewers of Coruscant, the Republic’s capital, Lorn meets Darsha Assant, a Jedi Padawan on a mission to earn the title of Knight. Now the future of the Republic depends on Darsha and Lorn. But how can an inexperienced Jedi and an ordinary man, stranger to the mighty ways of the Force, hope to triumph over one of the deadliest assassins in the galaxy?
