Science Fiction
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . . Bestselling Star Wars veteran James Luceno gives Grand Moff
Tarkin the Star Wars: Darth Plagueis treatment, bringing a
legendary character from A New Hope to full, fascinating life. He’s the scion of an honorable and revered family. A
dedicated soldier and distinguished legislator. Loyal
proponent of the Republic and trusted ally of the Jedi
Order. Groomed by the ruthless politician and Sith Lord who
would be Emperor, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin rises through the
Imperial ranks, enforcing his authority ever more
mercilessly . . . and zealously pursuing his destiny as the
architect of absolute dominion. Rule through the fear of force rather than force itself, he
advises his Emperor. Under Tarkin’s guidance, an ultimate
weapon of unparalleled destruction moves ever closer to
becoming a terrifying reality. When the so-called Death Star
is completed, Tarkin is confident that the galaxy’s
lingering pockets of Separatist rebellion will be brought to
heel—by intimidation . . . or annihilation. Until then, however, insurgency remains a genuine threat.
Escalating guerrilla attacks by resistance forces and
newfound evidence of a growing Separatist conspiracy are an
immediate danger the Empire must meet with swift and brutal
action. And to bring down a band of elusive freedom
fighters, the Emperor turns to his most formidable agents:
Darth Vader, the fearsome new Sith enforcer as remorseless
as he is mysterious; and Tarkin—whose tactical cunning and
cold-blooded efficiency will pave the way for the Empire’s
supremacy . . . and its enemies’ extinction.
