Doctor Aphra, written by Sarah Kuhn, is the second audio original from the immersive world of Star Wars. Similarly to the first one, Dooku: Jedi Lost, this hardback is the result of fans requesting a physical edition to complete their vast Star Wars collection. It’s safe to say that anyone’s Star Wars book collection will grow exponentially this year as their is a lot on the horizon.
With Doctor Aphra, fans will be able to follow the action as they listen to the epic audiobook. Or they can simply read the script and let their imagination do the work. We can’t wait to start reading.
If you haven’t met Doctor Aphra before, we highly recommend giving this a whirl. She is truly a fun character with a very twisted moral compass.
You can check out the official synopsis below:
Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra, rogue archaeologist, is in trouble again.
A pioneer in the field of criminal xenoarchaeology, Aphra recognizes no law, has no fear, and possesses no impulse control. To her, the true worth of the galactic relics she discovers isn’t found in a museum, but in an arsenal. This viewpoint has led to a lot of misunderstandings. After her latest plan goes horribly wrong, her roguish ways are on the verge of catching up to her, when suddenly Darth Vader, terror of the galaxy, swoops in with his lightsaber ignited and…saves her life?
Don’t get her wrong—it’s not like she’s ungrateful. Sure, her new boss is a lord of the Sith. And OK, she may have just become a pawn in a deadly game being played by him and his boss, who happens to be the Galactic Emperor. And yes, the life expectancy of anyone who disappoints Vader can be measured in seconds.
But she’s back doing what she does best. She’s got a ship to fly, a heist to pull, and two unorthodox but effective metal buddies: Triple-Zero, a protocol droid specializing in etiquette, customs, translation, and torture; and BT-1, an astromech loaded with enough firepower to take down a battlecruiser. Together, they might just find a way to get the job done and avoid the deadly performance review that waits at its conclusion.
Just kidding. She’s doomed.
Doctor Aphra will be available on April 6th and will cost £20.00. You can grab your copy from Waterstones and from Blackwells. Strap in and hold on tight because Doctor Aphra is on her way.
