Long before the First Order, before the Empire, before even The Phantom Menace ...Jedi lit the way for the galaxy in The High Republic
It is a golden age. Intrepid hyperspace scouts expand the reach of the Republic to the furthest stars, worlds flourish under the benevolent leadership of the Senate, and peace reigns, enforced by the wisdom and strength of the renowned order of Force users known as the Jedi. With the Jedi at the height of their power, the free citizens of the galaxy are confident in their ability to weather any storm But the even brightest light can cast a shadow, and some storms defy any preparation.
When a shocking catastrophe in hyperspace tears a ship to pieces, the flurry of shrapnel emerging from the disaster threatens an entire system. No sooner does the call for help go out than the Jedi race to the scene. The scope of the emergence, however, is enough to push even Jedi to their limit. As the sky breaks open and destruction rains down upon the peaceful alliance they helped to build, the Jedi must trust in the Force to see them through a day in which a single mistake could cost billions of lives.
Even as the Jedi battle valiantly against calamity, something truly deadly grows beyond the boundary of the Republic. The hyperspace disaster is far more sinister than the Jedi could ever suspect. A threat hides in the darkness, far from the light of the age, and harbors a secret that could strike fear into even a Jedi’s heart.

It is an age of exploration. Jedi travel the galaxy, expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it. Meanwhile, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds in an ever-growing community among near and distant stars. On the close-orbiting planets of Eiram and E’ronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. The two worlds’ hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems.

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

Obi-Wan Kenobi has not been apprenticed long to Qui-Gon Jinn, and he is chafing at Qui-Gon's training style: all meditation, no action. Obi-Wan yearns to prove himself on a mission, but when he and Qui-Gon are finally set to leave on an assignment, Qui-Gon is nowhere to be found. Angered by his master's abandonment, Obi-Wan sets out on the mission alone, determined to prove himself. On a mysterious planet he encounters a pack of feral, Force-wielding teens who seem to be the planet's only inhabitants.

Give it a chance
I’m not sure why others weren’t happy with this book. Because of some of the negative reviews I was highly reluctant to give it a chance. Normally I do not write reviews but I had to in this case. The story is excellent and Marc’s narration (as always) is amazing. While they author introduces a ton of characters and locations, it doesn’t hinder the story at all. You don’t get a ton of character development, which some people seem to require, but the action and story more than make up for it. It’s almost like reading a comic book. If you’re on the fence about trying this book out, give it a chance. I’m stoked to check out the next novel in the series.

pretty good, just one nitpick
as someone who listens to alot of the star wars books, would be really nice if they had more variety of voice actors. especially in these series without character recognition from the films, it gets hard to keep characters straight.
also, stop making every alien sound like high pitched squakey birds. makes those sections hard to get through. if your going to bother with alien dialects, have more than three templates.

Keeps you on your toes!
If you’re not paying attention then it’s hard to know who is who. Also some of the characters you thought would survive actually die off quite quickly.
It’s really a go go go kinda book. I enjoyed it because it doesn’t really slow down and get boring.

No one can beat Marc Thompson at work.... Great
Great new story, really gets you into the characters.... Alphabet squadron was a decent start, but with new voices narrating each book it kinda makes it tough to keep up that's why MT is the best when bringing out a star wars story

An amazing launching story for this series
The book is an amazing start to a new Star Wars storyline. The book introduces us to a lot of new places, characters and a great new villain. The book introducing a lot new characters and me being mainly a visual consumer of Star Wars content(illiterate), I myself found it hard to keep track of all the different characters with out looking up visuals online.

Slow
This was my first audio book. It has a slow start. Doesn't get interesting until near the end of the book. Just meh. The voice actor was decent though. Was going to try to listen to the next one, but I instantly couldn't stand her voice. Guess this is it for me.

Just yes
I was honestly seriously afraid going into this that it wouldn’t be at all interesting. Disney invented a good bit into their new high republic era. And it pays off. Charles soule proves he knows Star Wars in this book (first book of his I don’t know if he’s done more) so many new concepts, ideas, characters, creatures, and the like are introduced and it doesn’t feel forced at all. (Slight spoilers from here on) I especially like how lgbt representation was included in this. It’s not forced down your throat, it’s just mentioned in passing and that’s it. It’s natural. I’m invested now, I want to know what happens to these characters now. Highly recommend the read/listen. Very much Star Wars

Far better then anticipated
I first want to start by saying that if you're looking for any "Skywalker Saga" content here you'll find little. With that being said the book has been LITTERED with lore and references. I dont want to spoil anything in my review but I was very surprised to see a familiar face that was not mentioned to the media at all. The narration is some of the best in Star Wars audio books that I have listened too.
As a fan of over 20 years I can confidently say that newer fans to the Star Wars universe and older fans of the Star Wars universe should be very content with what they are given here today.
I'll be sure to update my review if anything changes however a few chapters into Part II and my excitement has not ceased. This is an excellent introduction to the new era of the High Republic and I am very excited to see what the future releases this year will bring us.
