About this audiobook
From New York Times bestselling author Michael A. Stackpole, one of the acclaimed masters of imaginative fiction, comes a stirring new tale set in the Star Wars universe, the story of Corran Horn, a heroic X-wing pilot who faces the greatest challenge of his life: trying to come to terms with his Jedi heritage and learning to use the Force--without succumbing to the dark side.
Corran Horn was an officer in the Corellian Security Force before casting his lot with the New Republic. As the grandson of a legendary Jedi hero, he has latent Force powers that have yet to be developed. But he has managed to distinguish himself with Rogue Squadron, the X-wing fighter force that has become the scourge of the Empire and of the pirates that prey on Republic shipping.
When a new pirate band begins terrorizing the space lanes, Rogue Squadron seems at last to have met its match. Led by an ex-Moff in an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the pirates appear uncannily aware of the squadron's plans and tactics, and are able to detect and escape even the cleverest ambushes. Either there is a security leak...or the pirates have access to a dark and unnatural power that only a trained Jedi could contend with.
Then Corran's wife, Mirax, vanishes on a covert mission to locate the pirates' secret base, and Corran vows to find her. He begins Jedi training at the Jedi academy, hoping to develop his untapped powers. But as he grows dissatisfied with Luke Skywalker's methods, he will break with the academy before his training is finished.
Calling on his Corellian undercover experience, he infiltrates the pirate organization. His plan is daring and dangerous. He will learn what he can, sabotage what he can, and use every means possible to find his wife. And his very survival may depend on a terrible choice--whether or not to surrender to the dark side.
I, Jedi brings readers into the startling, dramatic journey of a young man with a wild talent who must somehow master those powers within...or be destroyed by them.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The only Star Wars book written in first person narrative, which makes it much more personal. I enjoyed it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The only Star Wars book written in first person narrative, which makes it much more personal. I enjoyed it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not only is this a good read and interesting as a first-person Star Wars novel (the only one thus far), it also serves neatly as "fix fic" to clear up some discrepancies and outright problems with "The Jedi Academy Trilogy." One of the best Star Wars titles of the Bantam line.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Having loved the amazing original book - this shortened audiobook has been abridged into a confused and pointless tale that skips between events with no character development or finesse.
Don’t bother - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Love star wars books. This one is more like a cliff notes version of the actual book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I read this book as a hardback first, but this audio book does an awesome job of adding substance to the experience.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Corran Horn of Rogue Squadron is convinced to train his Jedi powers.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was the book that made me fall jn love with Star Wars all over again in my youth. if you are even just dipping into star wars, this one is well worth the read. listening to it now still brings that forward. Journey the path of a jedi, you won't regret it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A great book. The main character was fairly powerful, and his was the only point-of-view. That is what I like.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of Stackpole's stronger works, the first person narrative makes things a lot more interesting than they'd otherwise be. Some solid action sequences, neat ideas on Jedi training and good characterisation round up a perfectly good Star Wars book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The only Star Wars book written in first person narrative, which makes it much more personal. I enjoyed it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was one of my favorite of the Michael Stackpole novels. It was impressive, and kind of a refreshing change of pace to be reading a whole novel basically in first person POV.
