Publisher Description
Dr. Aphra teams up with Darth Vader himself in this audiobook original—an expanded adaptation of the critically acclaimed Marvel comics series, performed by a full cast.
Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra, rogue archaeologist, is in trouble again.
A pioneer in the field of criminal xenoarchaeology, Aphra recognizes no law, has no fear, and possesses no impulse control. To her, the true worth of the galactic relics she discovers isn’t found in a museum, but in an arsenal. This viewpoint has led to a lot of misunderstandings. After her latest plan goes horribly wrong, her roguish ways are on the verge of catching up to her, when suddenly Darth Vader, terror of the galaxy, swoops in with his lightsaber ignited, and...saves her life?
Don’t get her wrong—it’s not like she’s ungrateful. Sure, her new boss is a lord of the Sith. And OK, she may have just become a pawn in a deadly game being played by him and HIS boss, who happens to be the Galactic Emperor. And yes, the life expectancy of anyone who disappoints Vader can be measured in seconds.
But she’s back doing what she does best. She’s got a ship to fly, a heist to pull, and two unorthodox but effective metal buddies: Triple-Zero, a protocol droid specializing in etiquette, customs, translation, and torture; and BT-1, an astromech loaded with enough firepower to take down a battlecruiser. Together, they might just find a way to get the job done and avoid the deadly performance review that waits at its conclusion.
Just kidding. She’s doomed.

Customer Reviews
Dr Aphra
Great story. Really well adapted from the comics.
Frustrating In The Extreme
A Star Wars character who is a mashup of Han Solo and Indiana Jones should be the greatest elevator pitch ever. Should. Be. Aphra just completely implodes in her execution as a character. She has all the weaknesses of Han and Indy with none of their redeeming qualities AND talks to everyone around her like a smarmy buffoon who has never been an actual human. That the author seems to have less knowledge of Star Wars lore than your average amoeba just makes the whole thing more irritating. I waded through the whole story in spite of it constantly inspiring me to play in traffic and found it to be best right at the end when the Audiobooks narrator started reading the credits. The production was top notch and the voice actors were excellent as always. The story was… none of those things. Save your money for better books, Dr. Aphra is not even worth the time it took to write this review.
Wow it’s annoying
Thanks for having a lesbian character but why did you have to make her so annoying!
