Synopsis

“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.

Goodreads review by Jerry on June 17, 2022

Before Disney released the shark jump that was The Last Jedi, Star Wars was a force to be reckoned with, and not just in celluloid form! Between bestselling books such as the Thrawn trilogy, the fabulous computer-animated Clone Wars television series, and computer and video games ranging from the cr......more

Goodreads review by Jesse on October 13, 2008

After seeing this book as a bestseller for a couple of weeks, I decided to read it. I typically don't read the Star Wars novels, but this was the second I decided to read. I read Shadows of the Empire and came away with the taste that it was a great story written very badly. The Force Unleashed, howe......more

Goodreads review by Joshua on June 25, 2023

For being such a great video game, this book was just meh. I’m not sure if I was let down because of the game and if it would’ve been better had I not been rereading something I played several times. The book was difficult to get through, I think because it read like a video game and not a book. The......more

Goodreads review by Ashley on June 28, 2017

I am quite torn on how to rate this book. It took me a really long time to get into it, but by the end I was engrossed in the story. I remember playing the game a few years back, so I thought why not read the book. Well, the game definitely pulled me in quicker, but the book eventually did the job a......more

Goodreads review by Jasmine on March 02, 2010

I think I should start with my star wars history. When I was eleven my (younger) siblings rented the Original trilogy from the library, and settled in to watch these formative pieces of culture. I, being the hysterically brave creature that I am, sat outside on the patio tormenting ants, and only wa......more
