About this listen

Before the Rebellion, the Empire reigns, in book one of a trilogy told through the eyes of Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and Saw Gerrera—for fans of Andor.

“In order to ensure the security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire! For a safe and secure society!”

With one speech and thunderous applause, Chancellor Palpatine brought the era of the Republic crashing down. In its place rose the Galactic Empire. Across the galaxy, people rejoiced and celebrated the end of war—and the promises of tomorrow. But that tomorrow was a lie. Instead, the galaxy became twisted by the cruelty and fear of the Emperor’s rule.

During that terrifying first year of tyranny, Mon Mothma, Saw Gerrera, and Bail Organa face the encroaching darkness. One day, they will be three architects of the Rebel Alliance. But first, each must find purpose and direction in a changing galaxy, while harboring their own secrets, fears, and hopes for a future that may never come unless they act.

I really enjoyed getting the behind the story of Senator Mathma and Organa. Took a bit to develope the characters but still enjoyed it. lots of action and intrigue.

The voice acting, sound effects, and ambient music were all immersive without detracting from the story. Very much heightened the experience over all. Highly recommend.

Fantastic production

It’s a slow moving read, but it is interesting to listen to.
One character was always referred to as they/ them, which was really confusing to follow. I didn’t know if a group of people was doing something or the one person. Silly.
Overall it was a good book.

It’s ok. Definitely worth a listen.

This is a good filler for the new timeline. The story tells the actions of several key figures in the early days of the Empire. It sets up several tangents

Good Book

January is beyond reproach. I hope she narrates the subsequent novels in this series. The character of Mon Mothma is gifted a robust and complex background.

Great political strategizing

Just as advertised- this is a book that will get you in the mood for Andor season 2 😎 Mon Mothma and Bail Organa are the stars of this book for sure. Looking forward to the next two!

Andor hype is real!!

Fantastic political thriller that fits perfectly in the “Andorverse”. A must read for any fan of Andor or Rogue One.

A look into the inner workings of the beginning of the Empire and the Rebellion.

Lots of similarities to US politics today, please send a copy to the Democrats. Great story, performance and piece of the Star Wars universe.

Mon Mothma is definitely a flawed individual with a purpose
