This is the first audiobook I’ve ever produced, and it’s been quite the journey leading up to this point. My name is Joshua Tatum, and I’m the narrator for the fan-made audiobook adaptation of Timothy Zahn’s Heir to the Empire. I honestly didn’t expect anyone to request an interview regarding the production behind this audiobook, much less writing an entire article about it, but I’m very humbled that you decided to do so! So a little about myself. Joshua tell us a little bit about yourself and what led you to become an audio book narrator?īefore we begin, I want to thank you for reaching out to me. It’s fair to say after thirty-two mesmerising chapters, I had some fan questions of my own, so I decided to reach out to Joshua. He was engaging but more than anything he was able to narrate the action and perform all the dialogue in different character voices to a tee. When I began listening to his audio adaptation of Heir To The Empire, I couldn’t switch it off. But seriously, Joshua is a breath of fresh air. More importantly he loves to read them out loud! He is also a Star Wars fan, so you can imagine he has absolutely every reason to get it right. In short, Joshua Tatum aka JTcrusader is a big fan of books. Talking of fan-made adaptations, I discovered a great new narrator on YouTube, who ticks all of my boxes when it comes to audiobooks. Are they going to make it unbelievably fun? Will they bring drama and tension to the story? Will I hang on their every word? In regards to The Thrawn Trilogy and book one – Heir To The Empire, I am actually spoilt for choice with professional undertakings to fan-made adaptations. ![]() Often it comes down to one factor for me and that is the narrator. The challenge of course is to see what audiobooks are available and if they are worth sitting through. They are a great way to make a book or story come to life. But more than anything audiobooks are often immersive and entertaining. More specifically the further adventures of Luke Skywalker and friends.Īnyway audiobooks can be a whole lot of things. I decided to go online and see if an audiobook version would quench my thirst for adventure. And while I would dearly love to read them again, I just don’t have the time. Still to this day, Zahn’s novels are the best Star Wars books I’ve read. They consists of Heir To The Empire (1991), Dark Force Rising (1992) and The Last Command (1993). The novels I allude to are Timothy Zahn’s The Thrawn Trilogy. ![]() In recent months I unpacked two boxes of books and discovered I had put away for safekeeping a trilogy of novels set in the Star Wars universe published way back in the early 1990s under license and with the blessing of George Lucas.
