Science Fiction
“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. His past is a void; his present, the
carrying out of his deadly orders. But his future beckons
like a glistening black jewel 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,
from the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk to the junkyard
planet of Raxus Prime. On these missions, the young Sith
acolyte will forge an unlikely alliance with a ruined Jedi
Master seeking redemption and wrestle with forbidden
feelings for his beautiful comrade, Juno Eclipse. 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.
