I first read this book 25 years ago.  I was 13 years old and bought it because of the cover art and the title (I recognized the name of the super star destroyer from the starship reference book out at the time). Despite jumping into an ongoing series with no background knowledge of the characters (other than Wedge and Wes from the movies), I loved this book. It changed my whole outlook on reading for fun. I read so many Star Wars books after this one. 

I’m so happy to see it getting a full, unabridged audiobook. I’ve been listening to the whole series (which I read in its entirety a couple decades ago), and the stories really hold up. I loved this book just as much as I did all those years ago. Funny, sad, intrigue and plenty of action.
