Publisher's summary

He was the most powerful Sith lord who ever lived... but could he be the only one who never died?

“Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise that he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying." -Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith

Darth Plagueis: one of the most brilliant Sith Lords who ever lived. Possessing power is all he desires. Losing it is the only thing he fears. As an apprentice, he embraces the ruthless ways of the Sith. And when the time is right, he destroys his Master - but vows never to suffer the same fate. For like no other disciple of the dark side, Darth Plagueis learns to command the ultimate power... over life and death.

Darth Sidious: Plagueis’s chosen apprentice. Under the guidance of his Master, he secretly studies the ways of the Sith, while publicly rising to power in the galactic government, first as Senator, then as Chancellor, and eventually as Emperor.

Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, Master and acolyte, target the galaxy for domination - and the Jedi Order for annihilation. But can they defy the merciless Sith tradition? Or will the desire of one to rule supreme, and the dream of the other to live forever, sow the seeds of their destruction?

James Luceno is great

Story essentially fills in the blanks for Yhe Phantom Menace in the best way possible

Turn this into a prequel now!!!

amazing, answered so many questions and raised more. I hope this gets turned into a prequel. a story from the perspective of the sith is needed.

Fantastically made audiobook!

My first audiobook, and I will listen to it again some time. Theatrical elements from the narrator makes it even better. 10/10.

fantastic

this book is display in so much intelligence that its kind of impossible to put it down! i also love the speaker he present it in a very creative fashion.

Top notch

If you like Star Wars, then get this. Enough said. Don't be fooled by any of the other negative reviews.

Amazing story!

Great story, for very well into the time line and as a stand alone story. Good ending but I want to hear more.

Great for any fan of Star Wars

I greatly enjoyed the narration, my only complaint is that many of the women sound very similar, but as the narrator is a man with a deep voice I feel it's unreasonable to expect a wide range of feminine voices, especially when some are already in your mind such as Natalie Portman's portrayal of Queen Amidala. The story is well written and provides insight into the build up to and overlapping events of the highly criticized Phantom Menace. This was my first audiobook and it has surpassed my expectations ten fold. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who enjoys the Star Wars E. U./Legends or would like to learn more about the story surrounding the main anthology.

Have you heard the story of a horrible ending.

great read, fuck the ending. suck a dick whomever dictated the charter limit.

Awesome Story

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I would enjoy this book as a movie and leave the title as is.

Any additional comments?

I like that this book gave more information about the dark side not portraying them as an evil force but a true force out for the great good of the universe.

So many questions answered.

If you grew up on star wars,you will enjoy this story. Countless times while listening I remarked, " aha!!!"
