SHANNON TYO as Quin & Nib AssekIn this Star Wars audiobook original from Penguin Random House Audio, delve into the cutthroat world of one of the High Republic’s greatest foes, the merciless Lourna Dee.The Nihil storm has raged through the galaxy, leaving chaos and grief in its wake. Few of its raiders are as vicious as the Tempest Runner Lourna Dee, voiced by Jessica Almasy (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: A Junior Novel; Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: Spark of the Resistance; Star Wars: The Last Jedi: A Junior Novel). She stays one step ahead of the Jedi Order at the helm of a vessel named after one of the deadliest monsters in the galaxy: the Lourna Dee. But no one can outrun the defenders of the High Republic forever.
After the defeat of her crew, Lourna falls into the hands of the Jedi--but not before she hides her identity, becoming just another Nihil convict. Her captors fail to understand the beast they have cornered. Just like every fool she’s ever buried, their first mistake was keeping her alive.
Lourna is determined to make underestimating her their last.
Locked onto a Republic correctional ship, she's dragged across the galaxy to repair the very damage she and her fellow Tempest Runners inflicted on it. But as Lourna plans her glorious escape, she makes alliances that grow dangerously close to friendships. Outside the Nihil—separated from her infamous ship, her terrifying arsenal, and her feared name—Lourna must carve her own path. But will it lead to redemption? Or will she emerge as a deadlier threat than ever before?
Tempest Runner is the third
Star Wars audiobook original, following the Audie Award finalist
Dooku: Jedi Lost, also by Cavan Scott (April 2019) and Sarah Kuhn’s
Doctor Aphra (July 2020). Scott says of this new project, “After working
Dooku: Jedi Lost, it's great to be back writing a
Star Wars audiobook original for Del Rey Books and Penguin Random House Audio.
Tempest Runner delves into a very different side of the High Republic, far removed from the pomp and glory of the Jedi and the Republic itself. Here we see life on a Republic correctional vessel, as former Nihil Tempest Runner Lourna Dee finds herself locked up on a ship full of dangerous and often desperate women. With no idea who she can trust, Lourna starts to build herself a new life while reflecting on how she ended up behind bars.”
