Synopsis

In this Star Wars audio original, 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. 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?

Goodreads review by Scott on June 30, 2023

Cavan Scott’s “Tempest Runner” is the first High Republic novel that I didn’t find pathetically mediocre, which says a lot, considering it isn’t even a novel. “Tempest Runner” is actually a script for an audio play, one that is intended to have music, sound effects, and (I assume) different actors pl......more

Goodreads review by Maggie on August 30, 2021

Audio dramas, Star Wars: Tempest Runner, have always been a challenge for me to enjoy because I have auditory processing issues that make it difficult to fully enjoy listening to a cast of characters that I cannot see. I enjoyed past audio dramas like Dooku: Jedi Lost and Doctor Aphra, but both of t......more

Goodreads review by Jim on January 14, 2022

This is an audio drama that is part of The High Republic series. In this one, the Republic captures Lourna Dee without realizing who she actually is. We get to see her time in prison and thru many flashbacks we get to see her journey into becoming a valued member of the Nihil. This is the third audio......more
