Publisher's summary

Based on the epic videogame from BioWare and LucasArts.

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 in 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, the spirit of rebellion is 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 dark-side disciples. But time is brutally short. And if they don’t seize their one chance to succeed, they will surely have countless opportunities to die.

Good story

This story is not on par with some of the other SW novels but its still a quality book. I recommend reading all of the Old Republic novels.

Good action

I was a little nervous how much I would like this book knowing the main character was a not a Jedi. However, it prooved to be very good. The main Characters's partner is a Jedi, and very interesting and is has a significant role in the story. The main character himself was very interesting and this book proves you can have a lot of fun in the SW universe with limited Jedi exposure.

A refreshing Old Republic story

I will have to say that I really enjoyed this book- both the storyline and the Narrator. This is a story that I will definitely will be going back to and not be bored when I listen to it again. Again, another classic that goes with Star Wars.

Nice story

A good story of the Old Republic, but unecessary slow at the start, i had some problems with some of the carachters, for example Darth Gravus, who is to much of a hothead considering how calm and calculating he is.

Another Thrilling Episode in TOR!

Drew delivers another excellent character driven story. Marc does a wonderful job with the narration and voices. I recommend this to any Star Wars fan who is currently playing SWTOR. The book adds to the backdrop of SWTOR in additon to adding to my enjoymnet of SWTOR.

I hope Drew and Marc continue their successful and creative collaboration!

Good enough

Gives great information, and the performance is, of course, amazing. Just not as exciting as most of the books.
