Doctor Aphra (Star Wars)
Doctor Aphra (Star Wars) | Sarah Kuhn
3 posts | 4 read
Dr. Aphra teams up with Darth Vader himself in the original script to the audiobook productionan expanded adaptation of the critically acclaimed Marvel comics series. Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra, rogue archaeologist, is in trouble again. A pioneer in the field of criminal xenoarchaeology, Aphra recognizes no law, has no fear, and possesses no impulse control. To her, the true worth of the galactic relics she discovers isnt found in a museum but in an arsenal. This viewpoint has led to a lot of misunderstandings. After her latest plan goes horribly wrong, her roguish ways are on the verge of catching up to her. Thats when suddenly Darth Vader, terror of the galaxy, swoops in with his lightsaber and . . . saves her life? Dont get her wrongits not like shes ungrateful. Sure, her new boss is a lord of the Sith. And okay, she may have just become a pawn in a deadly game being played by him and his boss, who happens to be the Galactic Emperor. And yes, the life expectancy of anyone who disappoints Vader can be measured in seconds. But shes back doing what she does best. Shes got a ship to fly, a heist to pull, and two unorthodox but effective metal buddies: Triple-Zero, a protocol droid specializing in etiquette, customs, translation, and torture, and BT-1, an astromech loaded with enough firepower to take down a battlecruiser. Together, they might just find a way to get the job done and avoid the deadly performance review that waits at its conclusion. Just kidding. Shes doomed.

This was a fun, quick listen set in the Star Wars Universe. It‘s the type of Star Wars book that I enjoy most. I like the ones based on characters you never knew about from the movies but still have the old favorites show up here and there. Also, I‘m a sucker for a dramatized audio edition.

The audio narration was excellently performed by all…

The joy in hanging with Doctor Aphra (a treasure hunter, not an archaeologist though she likes to call herself one) whether reading the script as I did or listening to the full cast audiobook is found in her impossible antics, her murderous robot sidekicks (robot equivalents of Mr. Croup & Mr. Vandemar), her repeated brushes with death, & yes, the bits and pieces of ancient lore she finds. If you‘re a Star Wars fan, you‘ll likely enjoy this book.
