About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Jedi Master Mace Windu travels to a dangerous, remote planet on a mission that challenges even his deadly prowess - all to fulfill Qui-Gon's last request.

The Jedi are reeling from Qui-Gon Jinn’s sudden death at the hands of a Sith. Jedi Master Mace Windu’s feelings about Qui-Gon have always been complicated, and have not been made any simpler in death. While they often disagreed, Mace valued Qui-Gon's unique perspective, and their shared dedication to the Force made them allies. Without Qui-Gon and his unorthodox views, Mace feels out of balance.

While considering his fallen friend’s legacy, Mace is surprised to receive a final message from Qui-Gon, marked to be delivered to Mace on the event of Qui-Gon’s death. The message contains a last request: a plea to help the Outer Rim planet of Metagos.

Many years ago, a violent solar flare transformed the surface of the desert planet into a landscape of irradiated glass—as beautiful as it is dangerous. Now most of the surviving inhabitants live underground, where rival clans fight to control the planet’s limited resources. As a young Jedi, Qui-Gon protected the Sa’ad farming clan from the planet’s less scrupulous factions. The Sa’ad practice the art of dream-weaving, retaining their waking minds upon sleep in order to communicate and coexist with the wild creatures around them. Qui-Gon vowed to return if they ever required his aid, but now it falls to Mace to fulfill that promise. The Sa’ad’s leader, KinShan Nightbird, has begged for the Jedi’s help in freeing Metagos from the crime lords who threaten to eradicate her people’s way of life.

Intent on fulfilling Qui-Gon’s final wishes, Mace travels to Metagos and infiltrates the enemies of the Sa’ad. But as the Jedi Master investigates the intricate web of adversaries and allies, Mace finds himself pushed to the boundaries of the Jedi code, challenging his beliefs and his relationship to the Force itself.

One of my favourites so far after the Bane and Thrawn trilogies!

Paints a vivid picture of the life and times of one of my favorite characters.

The narrator's performance was impeccable...even sounded like Samuel L Jackson at times.

Will definitely be listening to this a second time in the near future!

It was alright. I can't help but wonder when Disney is going to give Mace the story he truly deserves? This wasn't bad, once it got going. But, it was such a slow slog before it got there.

I almost gave up and returned the title several times. I'm glad I got to learn about Mace's parents and glad that he got more... action than Kenobi did in his book. So to speak.

But, you don't need to read this one. Some excellent concepts in an otherwise meh story, I'd say.

I really love the music. But the story was not so great because mace windu is not mace windu

I was really excited by the idea of this story, having Mace Windu as the lead, picking up on a final favour for Qui-Gon. Sadly, the premise of the story was the best thing about it; next to nothing happens which is worth mentioning, so I've made the decision to stop listening (after about 8 of the 11 hour audiobook) - which I've never done before - as it was just so dull and disappointing. Do yourself a favour and avoid this story.

Disappointingly dull. Couldn't even finish.
