About this listen
It began as the ultimate voyage of discovery - only to become the stuff of lost Republic legend...and a dark chapter in Jedi history. Now, at last, acclaimed author Timothy Zahn returns to tell the whole extraordinary story of the remarkable - and doomed - Outbound Flight Project.
The Clone Wars have yet to erupt when Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth petitions the Senate for support of a singularly ambitious undertaking. Six Jedi Masters, 12 Jedi Knights, and 50,000 men, women, and children, will embark - aboard a gargantuan vessel, equipped for years of travel - on a mission to contact intelligent life and colonize undiscovered worlds beyond the known galaxy. The government bureaucracy threatens to scuttle the expedition before it can even start - until Master C’baoth foils a murderous conspiracy plot, winning him the political capital he needs to set in motion the dream of Outbound Flight.
Or so it would seem. For unknown to the famed Jedi Master, successful launch of the mission is secretly being orchestrated by an unlikely ally: the evil Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who has his own reasons for wanting Outbound Flight to move forward...and, ultimately, to fail.
Yet Darth Sidious is not the mission's most dangerous challenge. Once underway, the starship crosses paths at the edge of Unknown Space with the forces of the alien Chiss Ascendancy and the brilliant mastermind best known as “Thrawn”. Even Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, aboard Outbound Flight with his young Padawan student, Anakin Skywalker, cannot help avert disaster. Thus what begins as a peaceful Jedi mission is violently transformed into an all-out war for survival against staggering odds and the most diabolical of adversaries.
Timothy Zahn's unique mix of espionage, political gamesmanship, and deadly interstellar combat breathes electrifying life into a Star Wars legend.

A great Thrawn origins story
I really wasn't expecting this Thrawn Origins story when I picked the book. It takes place before the Trawn book. Zahn's books are usually very in depth, this was short, to the point, I was very pleasantly surprised. It ties in well to the thrawn trilogy and the hands of thrawn duology books.

Good Story, but its abridged
It's a good book, one that I have read before, but this audiobook version is abridged. Unfortunately the story really doesn't flow in the same way and its too bad that the abridging was done in such a poor way.

Terrible abridging
I read this book years ago and it was one of my favorites. I wanted to reread it and thought I'd give the audiobook a try. The narration was well done, but I didn't realize the book was abridged until after I started listening. The book was so abridged that I had a hard time understanding what was actually going on, despite having read the book before. It was way too choppy! Save yourself the trouble, and read the unabridged version instead. Please audible: redo this book in the full length version!

wrong voice
unfortunately the person who read this book has a very monotone voice which ruined the scope of the story I wish they would re-record this with the current voice actor for thrawn
