Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Join Republic spy Theron Shan as he faces off against the Sith Empire itself in this epic installment of The Old Republic.

Light side, dark side—these are just empty words. . . . There are only two sides I care about: us and them. Republic or Empire!

The Sith Empire is in flux. The Emperor is missing, presumed dead, and an ambitious Sith lord’s attempt to seize the throne has ended fatally. Still, Darth Karrid, commander of the fearsome Imperial battle cruiser Ascendant Spear, continues her relentless efforts to achieve total Sith domination of the galaxy.

But Karrid’s ruthless determination is more than matched by the steely resolve of Theron Shan, whose unfinished business with the Empire could change the course of the war for good. Though the son of a Jedi master, Theron does not wield the Force—but, like his renowned mother, he has the spirit of rebellion in his blood. As a top covert agent for the Republic, he struck a crucial blow against the Empire by exposing and destroying a Sith superweapon arsenal—which makes him the ideal operative for a daring and dangerous mission to end Ascendant Spear’s reign of terror.

Joined by hot-headed smuggler Teff’ith, with whom he has an inexplicable bond, and wise Jedi warrior Gnost-Dural, Darth Karrid’s former master, Theron must match wits and weapons with a battle-tested crew of the most cold-blooded disciples of the Dark Side. But time is running brutally short. And if they don’t seize their one chance to succeed, they will surely have countless opportunities to die.

Goodreads review by Jerry on October 14, 2022

Now that I actually took my time while reading this, I can appreciate the story; while not the best Star Wars has to offer, it was still an engaging novel set in a galaxy far, far away. It had the action and intensity I've come to expect from this franchise. The only problem is that Disney messed th......more

Goodreads review by Kelli on May 24, 2013

Theron Shan is now one of my favorite non-Force user characters. He's sarcastic and sly, and often considers given orders more like guidelines for his actions. Despite being pushed to become a Jedi like his famous mother, Satele Shan, Theron has blazed his own path in life. This book really goes int......more

Goodreads review by Paul on January 22, 2023

This story is Drew Karpyshyn at his best. This story takes place after the Immortal Sith Emperor is feared dead the Dark Counsel and Sith Lords are on the back foot in the war with the Republic.

FREE BOOK FROM GOODREADS FIRST READS. Good book. It has been a long time since I have read a Star Wars book, but this was a good one. One nice thing is that the book was very clean (no language, sex, etc). The story is a good one and while the expectation is that good will defeat evil, you still won......more

Goodreads review by Lance on September 17, 2016

For those that have been wondering why the only reviews I have been doing lately are for updates on books that I have already read, it's because I don't have the best access to new materials right now. Being a college student with no steady income outside of summer jobs leaves me with limited time a......more
