- Star Wars (3 - 0 BBY): Death Star - Part 1 of 3 RARE Full Unabridged Audiobook.
Apologies for the delay of several days, this rare audiobook was in poor condition and has now been fully restored and remastered - which led to a few days delay.
This is a slight departure from my current work organizing works chronologically from the Old Republic Era ... in the spirit of the Holiday Season, I would like to present STAR WARS: DEATH STAR set during the Rise of the Empire Era (19 BBY - 0 BBY).

Written by: Michael Reaves & Steve Perry
Read by: Christopher Hurt
Story Line:
The Death Star's name says it all, with bone-chilling accuracy. It is a virtual world unto itself-equipped with uncanny power for a singularly brutal purpose: to obliterate entire planets in the blink of an eye. Its annihilation of the planet Alderaan, at the merciless command of Grand Moff Tarkin, lives in infamy. And its own ultimate destruction, at the hands of Luke Skywalker, is the stuff of legend. But what is the whole story, and who are the players, behind the creation of this world-killing satellite of doom?
It is a world unto itself-equipped with the uncanny power to obliterate entire planets in the blink of an eye. From inception to completion, construction of the Death Star is awash in the intrigues and hidden agendas of everyone involved at every level.
Soldiers and slaves, loyalists and Rebels, spies and avengers, the innocent and the evil-all their paths and fates will cross and intertwine as the Death Star moves from its maiden voyage to its final showdown. And a shadowy chapter of Star Wars history is stunningly illuminated in a thrilling, unforgettable adventure.

Christopher Hurt, the master narrator behind the Coruscant Nights audiobooks, also by Michael Reaves. Love it.
I think he mostly does historical dramas.
I don’t care if it’s cannon or legends. This audiobook is going in my favorites list.
Thank you for your support!
It is comments like this that really make it worth it for the Star Wars community! 🤩
2007, before the dark times, before the Disney parody…
Cannon = Bantha poodoo 😂
@@TheArchivistPublishing thanks for this! These classics deserve the time and effort you have put into them.
May I suggest adding a "thanks" tab so some of us can show you our appreciation, I'd certainly like to say thanks(leave a tip) 😊
Please If you can do more of the classics, it would be very much appreciated.
@@darthvader78441 I am about to open my Patreon site, which I will link ... so you could do this, if you like the videos!
Thank you! 😋
sci fi audiobooks are hidden treasures
I agree completely 🤗
I have been waiting for this to become an audio for a few years. Its going in my favorites.
Thank you for that... expect the rest of ztes of the Bounty Hunters over the next couple of months
This is one of the most underrated books ever
I agree... wait until the full A.I. version is released (September)... I will spend the time on it this story deserves!
AI vesrion?@@TheArchivistPublishing
You have to wonder what they were thinking by passing up on quality like this at the film studios..
I completely agree ... followed by Shadows of the Empire!
Or a 1 or 2 season show like andor
Agreed 🙂
@Darby O'Hara if andor was the 1st star wars movie ever , it would not be what it is today
@@Wally-pu2hh obviously

@@TheArchivistPublishing having trouble getting part two uploaded ?
@@bigbird2240 Yes, unfortunately ... but after 3 tries it is uploaded and should appear in "Public" shortly ... apologies for the wait
@@TheArchivistPublishing hey you are doing a great service
I'm stumbled upon this channel by chance or... by the Call of the Force.
Either way, you got loyal subscriber by instant.
May the Force be with you. 😊❤️🙏🏻
Welcome aboard!
Love the references to I-5 and others. Makes reading the books in order that much better!
Congrats on so many views . It’s amazing to think Disney thought it a wise decision to kick the millions of loyal fans of Star Wars eu to the curb
Agreed... there is so much EU content that is not regularly available and/or was never produced in audiobook format, which is sad. Hopefully, I and some other Channels can ensure at least some of it is available moving forward (it is GOOD content, after all! 😋)
This is what I need in this dire time for Star Wars.
This would make such a great movie... 😏
Thanks, this is great. I like how it follows Tarkin's thoughts, rather rather than Vader's or Palpatine's.
The actor who played Tarkin in the films was really good at his craft, and I feel that his performance gives a lot for the book to stand on.
Peter Cushing.. an English acting legend.
Wow. As a blind fan this is perfect!! Thank you 🎉🎉🎉 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for listening! 😇
How did u type that comment if youre blind?😎
yeah, didn’t know this was on CZcams just read the same book with the same narrator on that bard app
I use assistant technology to use CZcams.
Love that the narrator is able to replicate the enunciation of the actor Peter Cushing with subtle precision 😎
Agreed 😋
Thank you very much for these. Loving it so far 🤘
Thank you so much
I love CZcams where else do these just randomly show up and turn out to be absolutely amazing 👍
Thank you... Please keep checking back for more content!
So good I dropped my phone and cracked my screen. Good thing I’m not on the Death Star or someone would be looking for an incident report and I’d be sent to the brig.
Haha ... exactly! 😆
Always a great day when you start the next book in the series! Thank you for doing this
Glad you enjoy it!
You will be happy to hear that Death Star is 1 of 2 audiobooks being redone with 100% A. I. ... it will be awesome (and free of annoying adverts)!
@@TheArchivistPublishing sounds like a plan to me!
"That's no moon, it's yo mama"
-Luke Skywalker
🤣😂🤣
Hmmm...
Given destroying the Death Star made Luke a mass murderer (1 million + killed)... your comment makes a lot more sense 🤭
The reason like this Star Wars audiobook on CZcams ?. Is because it’s easy to understand when listening to it. The others you come across on CZcams are slow or broad, makes you feel growny. This one is good.
Thank you ... I agree
Are u speaking english?
Very nice! Thank you. 🤸🏻♀️👍🏽
Thank you!
Wow this is a great book you get a look into the people who built the Death Star and worked on it not bad people at all just people trying to do their jobs and not end up on a prison planet. Watching the movies you get excited when both Death Stars and Star killer are blown up i never realized there was a million killed on the first the second was even bigger and the star killer was a planet. Star Wars kills on a whole new level they would look at our wars and say ya hold my beer lol
Yes ... when Luke destroyed the Death Star, he also killed ~ 1 million people.
That puts a different take on its destruction (which was necessary, regardless)
Most of the people deployed on the Death Star were not on Death Star because they wanted to commit genocide many of them probably believed the Death Star would never be used.
Another masterpiece book that dealt with the politics and matériel behind the building and engineering of the Death Star was Thrawn Treason I believe. It also had Tarkin, Sidious, Vader and the other moff’s interacting in a mix of political intrigue and naval after-action-reports and spy novels. Highly recommend taking a peek if you haven’t read through the different thrawn series.
Amazing work. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Great content , keep up the amazing work.
Thanks, will do! 🤗
Thank you so much for uploading this.
Your channel looks like it has a lot of hidden gems like this. You got yourself a new sub right here 👈 👍 😃
Welcome aboard!
Thank you for the kind words... and look forward to more audiobooks over thebnex[ few days
I created a playlist just for this
Thank you... Please keep checking back for more content!
Thanks a lot for this👍
Most welcome 😊
A great way to help me with a paper on the day it’s due!
Rite on thank you for posting
Thank you for the kind words
The writing is so good , the old wookie that gets sick and I’m immediately concerned and need to know how he ends up
Yes... I felt the same - the only "carer" wookie that I know of in existence. 😋
Part 2 of Death Star is uploading / processing now
@@TheArchivistPublishing awesome love it
Saw it’s up ! Thanks I’ll be listening while at work on my ear buds today
@@bigbird2240 Great news! ... I will try to have Part 3 available by Thursday 🤞
Thanks for this masterpiece, top quality great work
Thank you so much!
1.47.
Fantastic to listen to. Thanks
Maybe the true Death Star are the audio books we listen along the way. Like commented and subscribed 👍
Thank you ... I agree completely!
Im back for a third listen and for what its worth, I don't mind the ads that much. 🙃🤘
Thanks for that!
I really love the Death Star book too!
You may want to come back for a 4th listen around late October / November... it will be redone in full A.I. ... and this time compiled in such a way to limit the ads (as will the Coruscant Nights Trilogy... DecadeBird's Shadow Game release is already formatted so that it does not have too many ads throughout)
Steve Perry wrote Shadows of the Empire too!
And that one is coming later in the week!
thank you, i knew there was an audio book of this i knew it,
You are welcome ... there are a surprising number of audiobooks created many years ago that have hardly seen the light of day. Hopefully, I can change that so fans have access to much more of the total content moving forward.
Tone down ad frequency please. I get two every five damn minutes.
I wasn't aware that was possible, but will look into it
Omg I've been waiting this book for years didn't think it had been published as an audiobook. It's definitely not for sail in the uk
I believe this is the only version out there... enjoy!
Remember, it is in 3 parts on my Channel 😋
A commercial every 10 minutes or less is madness 😤
Every ad that comes up, immediately close the vid. YT ad-bot will lower the amount of ads they push. Sometimes I get none at all now
the death star should be the setting for a 16 bit metroidvania!!!!
May the force be with you all .
And also with you!
Thank you! 😋
... and also with you!

You could just access my Patreon site, where every audiobook is correctly chaptered and named... saves a lot of time
@@TheArchivistPublishingwhat is your Patreon? I dont see it in links
The hammertong project has a deep lore that goes back to tales of Mos eisley cantina
Absolutely...
I had computer issues, which delayed a couple of releases... I will try a triple feature Premiere shortly!
@@TheArchivistPublishing we appreciate it!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU MAY? UPLOAD THE COMPLETE STAR WARS BOOKS OF GALAXY OF FEAR TO YOUR CHANNEL. PLEASE I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
THANK'S AGAIN, A TRULY FAN.
Thank you! I can definitely do that although, I am committed to complete all of the additional content from the Old Republic Era first.
Have you tried YJK Audiobooks? I believe they have some, if not all of the audiobooks from the Galaxy of Fear series.
Once I have worked to that Era, I will definitely release anything that is missing (if not beforehand).
Curious to see if there’s any overlap with rouge one. If Disney used any of this. Probably not.
Unfortunately, they did not use any of it. You will not a few slight story conflicts (not retconned) regarding the origin of the Death Star plans...
They had the word "butt" in the Star Wars galaxy ??
Apparently, that word transcends all galaxies! 🤣
First time listening. Let’s see how we do :)
Please check out Mist Encounter, Maul: Saboteur, or any of the newer releases... that is literally my first one (and in the process of being redone)
Heir To The Empire unabridged would be great if possible
That one is coming for sure! It is on my short list to create! 😋
Am I the only one who looked at the title of this video and thought 0 BBY Wan Kenobi ?
I see what you did there 😂
@@scramblesish agreed 😂
This is where the real stories are. I am still sad over Star Wars becoming a product, it doesn't feel special anymore. Thanks Disney....
I wonder if it had a Darth Bucks to get a nice cup of caf.
Dark side blend
Hahaha... that would actually be a good promotional idea 💡
😁
You should do dark empire
I like it, too bad The Clone Wars changed some this story
Agreed ... without this story, there is no realization of there being people on the Death Star ... 1,000,000 people. Some really great character in this story as well!
No the clone wars and Disney are fake fan fiction
When was this originally recorded?
Between 2006/2007, as I recall
@@TheArchivistPublishing Thank you
I know it's "free", but it would be much better if it were free of ads every 3 minutes!
It was my first audiobook... and constructed without knowing how to avoid adverts... expect an updated, A.I. version released in the next 6 weeks to replace this version!
Same😅😅😅😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you... Please keep checking back for more content!
Love it !! Any chance you could download Death troopers or Red Harvest ? Please , please 🙏
Available on Fulcrum Entertainment channel.
I will release (shortly) a different version than the Random House Red Harvest & Death Troopers ... which came out prior to the Random House releases ...
Fulcrum Entertainment also has recently created versions!
Damn lot of commercials. Great book, but I’m going to have to just download it- too many damn commercials!
The books are better than any of the movies by a long shot. Idc if KK thinks its official lore or not.
Yes, agreed.
I would really enjoy seeing future movies more closely aligned to the books (without the "adult themes" removed, etc.)
Could you please do Dark Rendezvous the unabridged version there's a abridged version but it skips loads of the story I like to read the book and listen to the audiobook a at the same time it helps me get lost in my own world where I can picture everything in my mind but can't do that with the abridged versions & it's so hard to find any unabridged version of Legends timeline stories
The Yoda Clone Wars story? That is in my queue already... it is coming
Wat date this comes out and can I find it
Darth Maul : Shadow Hunter will be re-released (next week hopefully)... Death Star in February
Thank you for posting but too many commercials! GEEZ
Thank you !
Regarding the commercials, I am working to manage them to a minimum level ... hopefully, you see the difference shortly.
I am a robot!
Did IG-88 survive the Death Star's destruction? 😳

Why are there so many ads? It's literally killing the story.😭
I think he fixed that issue
Never mind lol
Hi,
I agree... from what I could learn from YT, three are 3 (at least) factors that effect the amount of commercials... this was my third audiobook and I inadvertently hit all three. 🙈
I will be redoing Death Star first (with full A.I. this time), but keep in mind each is 7+ hours long - and I would like to have each as a single audiobook.
With that said, it is also my third most popular audiobook (plus it deserves to be done correctly!).
I have been doing smaller projects with an eye towards updating Death Star, Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, and the Coruscant Nights Trilogy.
Given their length, I will re-produce the narrator (ofc), and use limited additional voices (likely 2-3 main characters only), plus any minor characters (by number of lines) for which I have an A.I. already (i.e., Darth Vader)... which is why I am creating specific short stories to accumulate A.I.s (there is a method to my madness... maybe 🤣)
I will also add a soundtrack (easy to do), but limited sound effects (which is very time consuming - especially if they are timed to the dialogue)...
I will start on Death Star following Allegiance.
How many ads are you getting every 30 minutes?
@The.Archivist. For this one,if I'm not mistaken.I believe I was getting a double ad every minute and a 1/2 to 2 minutes,not a 💯 because it was almost a month ago, i think.when I'm at work,It's no big deal.I just let them ride,but I believe I was at home with the kids listening to this one in the background, which means when the ad kicks in, it almost doubles the volume, so it is more noticeable.no matter what,you put out good shit bro,keep doing your thing.👍
Just my bookmark...these aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along
These are h successful droids with a hidden agenda 🙈
The captions are Horrible, every block has spelling errors and the is zero capitolization or punctuation. Notify me if you'd like it redone🙏
Actually, that would be great!
This was our first full length novel, and not our strongest work.
I am pleased to announce that we are re-making this audiobook with 100% A. I. treatment - which it deserves!
Real Star Wars. Disney, take note & do better.
No Disney needs to sell Star Wars . They can’t be saved or forgiven.
The rumour is that they will be 🙏🏼
Why too many commercials
My first audiobook... before I knew how to ensure minimal adverts... that will be replaced with a 100% A. I. version by year's end.
Sooooooooo many ads.
Hopefully, you will see a difference very shortly
Timestamps
I am just about to make my Patreon page public ... everything I release is chaptered (with titles, where possible), and all additional annotations, about the author, etc.
Release time frame in the next 1-2 weeks!
@@TheArchivistPublishing OK thanks
Good book but a commercial every 6 minutes
It took me a month to track down why you were seeing too many ads... and it will be corrected moving forward (and on all previously released audiobooks!)
The ads every 5min makes this not enjoyable
I am going to fix this... third person to mention ads
Adds every 5 minutes? I hate the monkeys of youtube...
I understand... I have a ad blocker running normally, but disabled it to run through part of my audiobook... it was my first full length release (before I understood how to minimized ads). Look out for a full A. I. version coming out this year... the amount of ads will be greatly diminished!
@@TheArchivistPublishing ❤️
Obviously they were thinking they save a few thousand dollars by not having to pay a real writer.
What do you think was missing?
If you mean that the same story written more like Tom Clancy's eorks (inclusive of excessive technical descriptions, etc.)... I have often thought how interesting Death Star would have been with full technical details referenced throughout.
If you mean, why develop so many interesting characters, only to have them die (some with the Death Star), I can only imagine there was a mandate to do so... as it doesn't make sense to develop some solid characters only to have the best ones all due with the space of 2 chapters 😢
Michael Reaves is widely published, admittedly mostly media tie in novels like this one, but there's nothing wrong with his writing.
Nuts!
So many fucking adverts
This is a bot.
😳
Instead of this, we got bulls*** from Disney Star Wars.😢
Nuts r bug like cat in har
