BRAND NEW STAR WARS® RELEASES FROM RANDOM HOUSE AUDIO
(May 3, 2013) NEW YORK – Presented with the opportunity to choose which previously unrecorded Star Wars® title they would like to hear as an audiobook, fans at Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando, Florida overwhelmingly voted for Allegiance by New York Times bestselling author, Timothy Zahn. Originally published as a hardcover in December 2007 by LucasBooks, Random House Audio will be releasing Allegiance on June 11th as the result of this fan vote. This will be the first time Allegiance will be in published in audio format, and it will be available as a digital download narrated by fan-favorite narrator Marc Thompson.
Set between A New Hope, and The Empire Strikes Back, Allegiance features the newly minted heroes of the Rebellion: fledgling Jedi Luke Skywalker, smuggler turned reluctant freedom-fighter Han Solo, and Princess Leia Organa, a bold leader with a world to avenge. The three must face the harsh realities of the cataclysmic conflict into which they have so bravely plunged.
Additionally, Random House Audio is re-releasing two other titles authored by Timothy Zahn from the Hand of Thrawn series, Specter of the Past and Vision of the Future as unabridged audio downloads in September and October of 2013. Specter of the Past and Vision of the Future were published as hardcovers in the late nineties by Spectra, a division of Random House, Inc, and released as abridged downloads in 2007. Now available unabridged for the first time, fans will get to hear these titles in their entirety narrated by Marc Thompson.
