Midnight Horizon Audiobook: A Galactic Adventure in the Heart of the High Republic
As a former book author turned audiobook aficionado, I, Stephen Dale, find myself often lost in the immersive universes that only science fiction can provide. On this occasion, my love for interstellar escapades led me to Midnight Horizon, part of the Star Wars: The High Republic series, while lounging on my weathered couch that has become a spaceship cockpit in its own right. The stars outside my window twinkled like distant suns as I delved into the novel by Daniel José Older, narrated by Todd Haberkorn.
The story unfolds during a pivotal moment in the galaxy’s history. The Republic, after suffering significant losses, seemed to have gained an upper hand against the Nihil. Yet, rumors of an attack on Corellia bring tension back into focus. Jedi Masters Kantam Sy and Cohmac Vitus, along with Padawans Ram Jomaram and Reath Silas, are dispatched to investigate – each character carrying their unique burden from past confrontations.
Corellia serves as a vibrant backdrop where Ram and Reath meet Crash – a security specialist with her own scars from the Nihil’s havoc. Together they embark on an undercover mission through Corellia’s high society – a path fraught with peril and uncertainty. Older’s writing shines as he weaves a tale of espionage within the Star Wars universe, giving us glimpses into corners less explored and introducing new characters that enrich the lore.
However, despite being set in such a captivating world and storyline, Todd Haberkorn’s narration didn’t quite hit hyperspace for me. It was akin to expecting a thrilling ride on the Millennium Falcon but ending up with sublight engines – functional but lacking that punch you yearn for when diving into a galaxy far, far away.
Yet even with this hiccup in narration quality, Midnight Horizon offers plenty of intrigue for fans eager to explore more of The High Republic era. Daniel José Older brings his flair for young adult fiction into this novel with gusto – painting his characters with shades of grey and challenging them with moral quandaries that transcend age categories.
For those who wish to join this galactic journey without spending their hard-earned credits at Tosche Station or anywhere else for that matter – you’re in luck!

In conclusion, Midnight Horizon is like discovering an uncharted planet; it may not be what was initially plotted on your star map due to some narrative turbulence (courtesy of our narrator), but it remains a land rich with potential stories waiting to be told. For fans who crave more content from The High Republic or simply enjoy venturing into new territories within the Star Wars universe – this book holds promise.
