About this audiobook

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.

    Perfect for Star Wars geeks, like me. 10/10. Ultimate perfection.

    Han and Leia embark on a mission to contact parts of the galaxy that have been cut of by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Luke and Mara go in search of the living planet Zonama Sekot, and get caught up in a Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the Imperial Remnant.A pretty generic book in the New Jedi Order sequence. A good amount of space battle action, but not much overall plot development for the series.

    The first thing to note is that this book is a sequel. It's kind of obvious from the name, but it would have helped to have read the previous story, or to have properly played the game the previous novel was based on prior to reading this. While it did make sense knowing only the skeleton plot of the last book, I feel that mch of the feelings we had for the characters would have been very much amplified by the previous story, as it is then that we learn most about them (As it is, I've only read summaries of the previous story).Disregarding the story for a moment, the writing itself is fantastic. The narrative flow is smooth for the most part, and when it does jump, it's deliberate and suspense building.There are a few sections that I thought didn't fit in with the rest of the Star Wars universe, understandable in what must be one of the biggest fictional universes, but sometimes awkward. The biggest one in this book is the ending, which would drastically change the story of the original Trilogy. Although this simply suggests a sequel to bring the story inline with the rest of the super-series. But other than that, although I remember thinking "That seems wrong" at the time, they were small enough for me to not remember what it was that was wrong.One line that did seem out of place, was "It's a trap", said by Ackbar, a line that he is famous for saying in the original star wars movies. I feel that it was weird to have him say it here as well. It's a clear reference, and a funny one, but it doesn't fit well with the serious situation of the time. Another character saying it would have been better.Conclusion: While the writing is practically flawless, the storyline is quite dependent on the previous story, and although it does manage to give the general impression of "The Force Unleashed I", I would recommend reading that first. The odd occasion exists which seems out of place, but these are few and generally unmemorable. Any Star Wars fan, or any sci-fi fan not averse to extended universe fiction should give this book a go. It's a great, well-written story, with some memorable scenes, and impressive characters.

    Bad on two levels. More distressing to me is the ruination it brings to the Star Wars universe. Starkiller does things with the force that, to my knowledge, no one else has ever done. And he does them all the time. As if it were nothing. "Oh no. Something would kill me. I survived by throwing up a force shield." Someone comes back to life. Because of the power of love. The ending leaves an opening for another sequel, and there needs to be, because the path it was on would contradict cannon (the first movie) logically.The writing is also rather poor. So many sensationalist statements ("Nothing will stop me." "We would never be separated again." "No amount of stormtroopers would come between her and I.") had me laughing out loud at the absurdity of what I was reading.

    Williams and Dix create three threads of plot to follow: an expedition led by Han and Leia Solo to reopen channels of communication that fell during the war with the Yuuzhan Vong; an expedition led by Luke Skywalker into the Unknown Regions in search of the mysterious planet Zonama Sekot; and the development of a heretical pro-Jedi movement among the Yuuzhan Vong. They visit some of the worlds that have thus far received little attention during the New Jedi Order books. I think the best writing in this volume is their treatment of the efforts of diplomacy with the remnants of the old Empire.
