Story
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.

Story
As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance—now a fledgling New Republic—presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy’s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy’s strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but he’s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.

Story
For the handful of scattered Jedi, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy somehow, someday reclaimed. Yet more important still is the well-being of the twin infants, Leia and Luke Skywalker, the children of Anakin and his doomed bride, Padme Amidala. Separated after Padme's death, they must be made safe at all costs, lest the hope they represent for the future be turned to horror by the new Sith regime, and the unspeakable power of the dark side.

The next chapter in the extraordinary history of the star Wars galaxy begins here...After a violent civil war and the devastation wrought by the now-fallen Darth Caedus, the Galactic Alliance is in crisis - and in need.

But even more critical, and far more uncertain, is the future of the Jedi.

Publisher's Summary
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
A thrilling new adventure set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back and, for the first time ever, written entirely from Luke Skywalker's first-person point of view.
Luke Skywalker's game-changing destruction of the Death Star has made him not only a hero of the Rebel Alliance but a valuable asset in the ongoing battle against the Empire. Though he's a long way from mastering the power of the Force, there's no denying his phenomenal skills as a pilot--and in the eyes of Rebel leaders Princess Leia Organa and Admiral Ackbar, there's no one better qualified to carry out a daring rescue mission crucial to the Alliance cause.
A brilliant alien cryptographer renowned for her ability to breach even the most advanced communications systems is being detained by imperial agents determined to exploit her exceptional talents for the Empire's purposes. But the prospective spy's sympathies lie with the Rebels, and she's willing to join their effort in exchange for being reunited with her family. It's an opportunity to gain a critical edge against the Empire that's too precious to pass up. It's also a job that demands the element of surprise. So Luke and the ever-resourceful droid R2-D2 swap their trusty X-wing fighter for a sleek space yacht piloted by brash recruit Nakari Kelen, daughter of a biotech mogul, who's got a score of her own to settle with the Empire.
Challenged by ruthless imperial bodyguards, death-dealing enemy battleships, merciless bounty hunters, and monstrous brain-eating parasites, Luke plunges head-on into a high-stakes espionage operation that will push his abilities as a Rebel fighter and would-be Jedi to the limit. If ever he needed the wisdom of Obi-Wan Kenobi to shepherd him through danger, it's now. But Luke will have to rely on himself, his friends, and his own burgeoning relationship with the Force to survive.

The new Star Wars canon. Finally on Audible Aus.
Heir to the Jedi is part of the exciting new start for Star Wars fiction. I am a big fan of the Expanded Universe, but found the sheer volume of novels quite daunting. I'll continue to read through the newly titled "Legends", but I have been gagging for the canon novels to hit Audible Australia. Unfortunately Heir to the Jedi is the only story to see the light of day thus far. A New Dawn, Tarkin and Lords of the Sith are nowhere to be seen. Come on Audible....time to play catch-up.
Unfortunately Heir to the Jedi is probably the worst Star Wars novel I've read to date. I can't fault the performance by Marc Thompson or the tremendous production values, typical of a Star Wars audiobook. I can however fault the story, which is real filler material. The Star Wars story group dropped the ball on this one. There are a couple of key moments that build on Luke's backstory, but these are few and far between. Action and adventure takes a backseat to an awkward love story, all seen through first person perspective. A nice idea on paper, but it didn't work for me. Here's hoping Audible pull their finger out and release the rest of the new books soon. Hopefully they are far superior to this very average release.

first star wars book.
this was my first star wars book and i thought there was no better time to start reading them since there was now a clear canon. i thoroughly enjoyed the story because it was something i never expected from a star wars story but it still had the charm of one. i dont ha e anything else to compare it to, but it was a very enjoyable experience and i wish the other canon books were avaliable in my region.

Disappointing First Step.
This was my first audiobook. Didn't enjoy the story & felt that it failed to capture the spirit of Star Wars. I understand Kevin Hearne is an accomplished sci-fi author but his story feels out of its depth for the Star Wars universe.
Marc Thopmson's narration was okay but his character voices were terrible to the point of embarrassing. Would it have been so hard to cast a female voice talent into the female characters? Listening to his take on the female protagonist Nakari was like listening to a transvestite. His take on Luke Skywalker was marginally better but I didn't enjoy it.
Having looked forward to this title for a long time, I felt that Heir To the Jedi was a big disappointment.

A well deserved 5 stars
One of the best Star Wars books I have read in a long time. Love the characterisation and story. The voice of Luke Skywalker was particularly close to Mark Hamill’s. I felt involved in that it was in the first person and could feel his emotion as he began to experience the force, and then lost his newfound love.

A bridge fill up between IV and V
Marc Thompson is a great narrator and voice artist for different characters throughout the story. But the story lacks enough for the main character Luke Skywalker to develop on. Even if there are plenty of Star Wars Easter eggs to keep a fan amused.

charming, if not stellar
I had low expectations for sure, but I was pleasantly surprised by well written character interactions, and how my interest was maintained by continual changing in setting, and intensity of the situation. overall enjoyable, if not a must read.

As always Thompson nailed it.
As a huge fan of Star Wars I love the fact that the EU is in this format, allowing me to keep up to date whilst at the gym.
Marc Thompson remains one of my favourite audible narrators. He nails each character, as well as carrying the mood of the story.
