Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For the infamous, power-hungry Sith, beholden to the dark side, the time has come to rise again.

“Full of lightsaber battles, the Jedi philosophy, and lots of new life-forms.”—Chicago Sun-Times

After years of waiting in the shadows, Darth Sidious is taking the first step in his master plan to bring the Republic to its knees. Key to his scheme are the Neimoidians of the Trade Federation. Then one of his Neimoidian contacts disappears, and Sidious does not need his Force-honed instincts to suspect betrayal. He orders his apprentice, Darth Maul, to hunt the traitor down.

But he is too late. The secret has already passed into the hands of information broker Lorn Pavan, which places him right at the top of Darth Maul’s hit list. Then, in the labyrinthine alleyways and sewers of Coruscant, capital city of the Republic, Lorn crosses paths with Darsha Assant, a Jedi Padawan on a mission to earn her Knighthood.

Now the future of the Republic depends on Darsha and Lorn. But how can an untried Jedi and an ordinary man, stranger to the powerful ways of the Force, hope to triumph over one of the deadliest killers in the galaxy?

I read it in 2 sittings in 1 day. Absolutely stunning how well it works together. The crux of the story is about various peop......more

Goodreads review by Carly on June 21, 2023

I love anything Star Wars and this book is not an exception! Darth Maul is one of my favorite Star Wars characters and Micheal Reaves did such a good job at showing Darth Maul’s pure hatred and terrifying demeanor. I literally loved Darsha, Lorn and I-Five. I had an obvious idea about how it was goi......more

My reaction to this book: First, then, and finally! (HEADS UP. THIS REVIEW IS KIND OF LONG. I needed to get this out). O. MI. GOD! This book!! I CANNOTEVEN! I can’t.
