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.

If you’re at all interested in who Dr. Aphra is then this is the perfect crash course!

The audiobook/drama is a retelling of her introduction and escapades in the Vader comic series. In this version it’s done so through her perspective which is a riot and I’m sure it would help to keep the story fresh for anyone already familiar with it.

A full voice cast for the characters, excellent music and sound effects, did not disappoint!

I had never read any Dr Aphra comics but I knew that she was a popular character. After listening to this audio drama, I now understand that her popularity is well deserved. The cast was wonderful but the standout by far for me was Emily Woo Zeller who gives a powerhouse performance. She infuses Aphra with swagger and bravado but underneath it all, there is a touching sense of humanity. I highly recommend this drama if you are wanting to listen to a good, fun Star Wars adventure.

A fantastic introduction to a new SW character

Amazingly well performed, full-cast + dramatized StarWars awesomeness. Tonnes of laughs & heart felt moments. Dr. Aphra’s one of my favourite SW chars ❤️

Positively brilliant 😃

Only problem is weird casting for already known characters like Han and Leia. They didn't sound right and it did take me out of the book occasionally, but all the new characters (and Vader, who is super prominent) have absolutely great voice acting! Even the others were alright, they just sound too different.

Story was excellent. I already love Aphra thanks to her comics and I already read the comics this is based on, but this audiobook added quite a lot more than I expected, and the additions are great!

I also really enjoyed the way the book is presented as an actual recording by the character Aphra, as if this audiobook is a recording from the character herself.

Overall, absolutely great aside from some smaller cameo characters sounding pretty far off.

Mostly Awesome!
