A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
Best-selling Star Wars veteran James Luceno gives Grand Moff Tarkin the Star Wars: Darth Plagueis treatment, bringing a legendary character from A New Hope to full, fascinating life.
He’s the scion of an honorable and revered family. A dedicated soldier and distinguished legislator. Loyal proponent of the Republic and trusted ally of the Jedi Order. Groomed by the ruthless politician and Sith Lord who would be Emperor, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin rises through the Imperial ranks, enforcing his authority ever more mercilessly….and zealously pursuing his destiny as the architect of absolute dominion.
Rule through the fear of force rather than force itself, he advises his Emperor. Under Tarkin's guidance, an ultimate weapon of unparalleled destruction moves ever closer to becoming a terrifying reality. When the so-called Death Star is completed, Tarkin is confident that the galaxy’s lingering pockets of Separatist rebellion will be brought to heel - by intimidation…or annihilation.
Until then, however, insurgency remains a genuine threat. Escalating guerrilla attacks by resistance forces and newfound evidence of a growing Separatist conspiracy are an immediate danger the Empire must meet with swift and brutal action. And to bring down a band of elusive freedom fighters, the Emperor turns to his most formidable agents: Darth Vader, the fearsome new Sith enforcer as remorseless as he is mysterious; and Tarkin - whose tactical cunning and cold-blooded efficiency will pave the way for the Empire's supremacy…and its enemies' extinction.
Kritikerstimmen
"Euan Morton channels the outstanding late British actor Peter Cushing, who played Grand Moff Tarkin, evil master of the Death Star, in the original Star Wars movie. One hears a voice that is precise and unspeakably heartless as he shrugs at ideas such as planetary destruction. Here is Tarkin’s biography from childhood to the time he is promoted to Grand Moff by Emperor Palpatine, learning a few tips from Darth Vader himself (nicely portrayed) as they both grow in influence and power. It’s better not to overanalyze the situations presented in the plot. Instead, listeners should just pretend they’re 14 again, hear the familiar music and sound effects, and enjoy." (AudioFile magazine)

Geschichte
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.

The second Death Star has been destroyed, the emperor killed, and Darth Vader struck down. Devastating blows against the Empire and major victories for the Rebel Alliance.

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.

When the Imperial prison barge Purge - temporary home to 500 of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves - breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict, and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back - bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine. And death is only the beginning.

Great Side Story from the Star Wars universe
- Speaker great as always
- story about tarkin is really nice and fits great into Star Wars
- relationship between tarkin, sidious and vader is something i would love to see in the next "a Star Wars story" movie
- dont expect lightsaber or blaster battles 24/7, story is more like a part of tarkins biography - and thats what i liked most about it
story 4/5
speaker 6/5 (he is amazing imo)
Price/Value 4/5
i recommend to listen to the Darth plagueis Audio book first, both books connect pretty good to each other
finally, if you are a Star Wars fan who is looking for deep story plots rather than pure fighting action, this is an audio book for you

Had a lot of fun
When i bought this audiobook I wanted to recieve a story about imperial upper command, intrigues and power struggles. That is exactly what I got so I am happy with my purchase. For anyone who enjoyed the newer Thrawn novels, this is a clear recommendation. I‘ll dive into Catalyst next.
Euan Morton delivers convincing accents and allows you to really imagine the old actors playing it out. I particularly enjoyed the Vader performance.
All in all. Recommendation from me.

Interessant fûr Tarkin-Fans
in diesem Hörbuch erfährt man viele Hintergrundinformationen zum Werdegang von Tarkin und der Entstehung seiner Weltanschauung.
Die eigentliche Geschichte ist gut, aber nicht übermäßig spannend.
Dem Sprecher kann man gut zuhören; er spricht deutlich und akzentuiert und hat eine angenehme Stimme.
Die einzelnen Stimmen der Charaktere kann man außenanderhalten. Leider kommt er aber beim imitieren von Bekannten Stimmen (Vader, der Imperator oder Tarkin) nicht an Marc Thompson heran, was das Gesamtergebnis etwas schmälert im Vergleich zu anderen Hörbüchern.

Absolut empfehlenswert!
Würdige Hintergrundgeschichte einer der größten Bösewichte des Star Wars Universums. Spannende Story, die eher auf Politik und Intrigen setzt anstelle von ständiger Action. Interessante Einblicke auch in die Jugend Tarkins, um zu verstehen wie er zu dem stoisch-kalten Großmoff wurde, der in Ep. 4 ohne eine Miene zu verziehen Alderaan zerstörte.
Der Sprecher zeichnet sich durch eine große Vielfalt aus, wodurch einzelne Charaktere gut voneinander unterschieden werden können. Darüber hinaus hat er eine angenehme Stimme, man kann ihm über Stunden zuhören. Insbesondere die charakteristische Art das "r" zu rollen, wie es Peter Cushing zu tun pflegt, hat mir gut gefallen. Einziges Manko: Darth Vader hört sich absolut nicht bedrohlich an, eher wie der gutmütig-geduldige Opa mit ziemlich tiefer Stimme, der einem Kind versucht etwas zu erklären.
