Other Worlds' Rating: 8 out of 10 stars
Star Wars: Outbound Flight was a great book. I listened to this one as an audiobook, read by Jonathan Davis. His performance was wonderful, with different voices for each character and some sound effects to enhance the mood of the book.
The book is centered around the Outbound Flight project, and around Star Wars characters Jorj Car'das and Mitth'raw'nuruodo (core name: Thrawn). It tells the story of Thrawn's earliest contact with the Republic, as Car'das and his smuggler shipmates find themselves in the Unknown Regions and are captured by Thrawn and the Chiss Ascendancy.
For those who have read Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire Series, or experienced Thrawn in any of the other books or video games in which he is present, this book is a fun new light on a familiar character. For those who have never heard of Thrawn, or only have a limited experience with him, this book is an excellent introduction.
Outbound Flight is a combined effort from the Jedi Council and the Republic, intending to send a number of Jedi and colonists into the Unknown Regions and beyond into another galaxy. The Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, however, has other plans for Outbound Flight. When Thrawn gets thrown into the mix, you have the makings for an awesome book.
Step into the Star Wars universe again and enjoy the excitement, intrigue, and military brilliance that is Outbound Flight. If you like Star Wars, you won't be sorry you picked this title up.
