About this audiobook
Two years have passed since Jacen Solo, seduced by the dark side and reanointed as the brutal Sith Lord Darth Caedus, died at the hands of his twin sister, Jaina, Sword of the Jedi. For a grieving Han and Leia, the shadow of their sonās tragic downfall still looms large. But Jacenās own bright and loving daughter, Allana, offers a ray of hope for the future as she thrives in her grandparentsā care. And when the eager, inquisitive girl, in whom the Force grows ever stronger, makes a curious discovery aboard her grandfatherās beloved spacecraftāthe much-overhauled but ever-dependable Millennium Falconāthe Solo family finds itself at a new turning point, about to set out on an odyssey into uncertain territory, untold adventure, and unexpected rewards.
To Han, who knows every bolt, weld, and sensor of the Falcon as if they were parts of himself, the strange device Allana shows him is utterly alien. But its confounding presenceāand Allanaās infectious desire to unravel its mysteryāare impossible to dismiss. The only answer lies in backtracking into the past on a fact-finding expedition to retrace the people, places, and events in the checkered history of the vessel thatās done everything from making the Kessel Run āin less than twelve parsecsā to helping topple an evil empire.
From the moment the Falcon broke loose from a Corellian assembly line like an untamed creature with a will of its own, it seemed destined to seek out trouble. It wasnāt long before the feisty YT-1300 freighter went from shuttling cargo to smuggling contraband. But itās a fateful rendezvous on Coruscant, at the explosive height of the Republic/Separatist uprising, that launches a galaxywide cat-and-mouse game whose newest players are Han, Leia, Allana, and C-3PO. And theyāre not alone: Crime lords, galactic pirates, rogue politicians, and fortune hunters alike loom at every turn of the questāeach with his or her own desperate stake in the Millennium Falconās most momentous mission. Through the years and across the stars, from the Rim worlds to unknown points beyond, the race will lead them all to a final standoff for a prize some will risk everything to findāand pay any cost to possess.

The story was really cool. The quality of the audio was not good. In about 5 different places the audio skipped around like an old CD on a horrible dirt road. I'm not sure how anyone can fix that.
