The High Republic: Convergence is the complete, spoken-word rendition of the canon novel of the same title, penned by Zoraida Córdova. Random House Audio made the audiobook available on November 22, 2022.
Venture forth into the High Republic's latest installment, a tale that enriches the Star Wars saga, unfolding generations prior to the events of Light of the Jedi.
This is a time of discovery. The Jedi are journeying across the galaxy, broadening their knowledge of the Force and the myriad worlds and beings intertwined with it. Concurrently, the Republic, under the guidance of its two chancellors, strives to unite planets into an ever-expanding alliance across the vast expanse of space.
The planets Eiram and E'ronoh, locked in close orbit, bear the brunt of a galaxy grappling with scarce resources and boundless aspirations. Their mutual animosity has fueled a half-decade of escalating hostilities, now threatening to engulf neighboring systems. A glimmer of hope for reconciliation emerges as the royal heirs of both planets arrange a marriage.
However, before a lasting peace can take hold, an assassination attempt aimed at the betrothed couple plunges Eiram and E'ronoh back into total war. In a bid to avert catastrophe, Jedi Knight Gella Nattai steps forward to unmask the perpetrator, while Chancellor Kyong tasks her son, Axel Greylark, with safeguarding the Republic's interests during the investigation.
Axel's inherent skepticism towards the Jedi clashes with Gella's unwavering belief in the Force. She finds him to be an insufferably arrogant and pampered individual, while he views her as an overly earnest and persistent idealist. As they delve deeper into the intricate web of the investigation, the conspiracy's complexity becomes increasingly apparent. With suspicions rampant and potential adversaries lurking at every turn, the unlikely duo must collaborate if they hope to expose the truth and save both worlds from destruction.
The narration for the audiobook was provided by veteran Star Wars narrator Marc Thompson, with Random House Audio handling its release on November 22, 2022. Production and direction were overseen by Kevin Thomsen, while Nick Martorelli served as the executive producer. Paul Goodrich completed post-production and sound mixing at Merlin Studios, with Justin Kilpatrick responsible for editing.
