Product Description
Product Description
“The Sith always betray one another. . . . I’m sure you’ll learn that soon enough.”
The overthrow of the Republic is complete. The Separatist forces have been smashed, the Jedi Council nearly decimated, and the rest of the Order all but destroyed. Now absolute power rests in the iron fist of Darth Sidious–the cunning Sith Lord better known as the former Senator, now Emperor, Palpatine. But more remains to be done. Pockets of resistance in the galaxy must still be defeated and missing Jedi accounted for . . . and dealt with. These crucial tasks fall to the Emperor’s ruthless enforcer, Darth Vader. In turn, the Dark Lord has groomed a lethal apprentice entrusted with a top-secret mission: to comb the galaxy and dispatch the last of his masters’ enemies, thereby punctuating the dark side’s victory with the Jedi’s doom.
Since childhood, Vader’s nameless agent has known only the cold, mercenary creed of the Sith. But his future beckons with the ultimate promise: to stand beside the only father he has ever known, with the galaxy at their feet. It is a destiny he can realize only by rising to the greatest challenge of his discipleship: destroying Emperor Palpatine.
The apprentice’s journeys will take him across the far reaches of the galaxy. And he will be tested as never before–by shattering revelations that strike at the very heart of all he believes and stir within him long-forgotten hopes of reclaiming his name . . . and changing his destiny.

Format:Hardcover
A great buy for any Star Wars fan who enjoys to read. Pretty much the same story as the game yet covers areas in a lot greater detail
Format:Hardcover
Although this book was in addition to the video game it really holds its own amongst some of the best star wars novels written. If you liked Darth Bane you will love this!, guess i must be more of a fan of the dark side!
Format:Paperback
this was the first star wars book i have read and I was shocked at how good it actualy was. The main plot is quite original but some aspects of the book didnt really have the star wars vibe. however I did like how the story helps you to understand and relate to the darkside. the story is set between revenge of the sith and a new hope and it is about a young boy who was taken in by darth vader at a young age and was brought up to be be vaders apprenice. further on in the story he meets a pilot called juno and part of him has feelings for her. as an effect of this he begins to show signs of both beeing a jedi and part of the dark side. this is interesting to see and i think the auther (sean williams) realy gives us an insight to each charactors past and how they are feeling. as a result of this you feel connected to the charactors and it makes the story even better. the flow of the story is and as soon as i read began reading i was hooked by the authers way of keeping the suspence and the non stop action throughout the story. my final point is that it is based on a video game which you should probably read first because it will help you to understand the book better.

Excellent listening
I totally enjoyed listening to this audio CD, it takes you off on a tangent to the original story and introduces new characters along with a few well known ones. Read more

Novel of a game? Oh dear...
This is novel based on a game and it shows. The story moves along quite nicely however the book feels like a series of action scenes strung together. Read more
