By: Sean Williams

Publisher's summary

As ruthless apprentice to Darth Vader, Starkiller was mercilessly schooled in the ways of the dark side, commanded to exterminate the last of the purged Jedi Order, and groomed for the ultimate Sith power play: Assassination of the Emperor. He served without question, killed without remorse, and lost his heart without warning to beautiful Imperial fighter pilot Juno Eclipse, never suspecting that he was just a tool in the schemes of his masters - until it was too late to escape their lethal betrayal.

Juno mourned Starkiller as dead...but now he is back, purged of all memories and programmed to kill. And as fate brings Juno and Starkiller closer to reuniting, with Darth Vader determined not to lose his assassin a second time, they will both have to make a stand. The prize is freedom. The punishment for failing will be eternal enslavement to the dark side of the Force...

Great

Loved it all the way, one of the best legends stories to my memory. Was very well executed as well.

love it

My only wish would but for Disney to make the books into a live action movie series.

starkiller gets the girl or did the clone

I really enjoyed this story. I wonder if there will ever be a 3.

Deeper Understanding of Being a Clone!

If you love Starkiller and the Force Unleashed games, you'll love this book! I was just excited to read more about Starkiller because I just can't get enough of his character, and this book accomplished that and something that I never thought about when playing these games - they really delve into what it means to be a clone! The way that Sean Williams describes this constant paranoia and lack of identity confirmation and this constant fear that one day he will give into this clone madness really fleshes out his struggle in this story. Jonathan Davis once again knocks it out of the park with his voice acting! My only drawback is no one can do Starkiller like Sam Witwer, and I would've loved if he narrated his own book, and that's my only reason for the 4/5 on performance. The story, while fantastic, is pretty much exactly what I already knew, aside from the added parts about Juno in the Alliance, and the deeper view into Starkiller's mind. Overall, this was fantastic! I'd very much recommend it!

A weak story

Jonathan Davis shines while narrating, but not much can be done about the weak story... while the original Force Unleashed was a good story full of plot twists, revenge, betrayal and adventure, this sequel reads as just traveling from point A to point B, with nothing more than select appearances from established characters... plus, from the ending of the novel it's implied that a last sequel (hopefully) is due. I hope that they polish that last one a bit more...

Pronunciation

I don't understand how a professional could miss pronounce a word like lived. The saying short lived has a quite obvious way of pronouncing it. Sigh.

Supports the game

Gives you everything to support the game's story. Completes it. Great story. Still Canon to this bloke.

Not nearly as good as the first

Story wasn’t as exciting, and pretty slow building. Worth the listen but definitely not a favorite.

The end of this book makes no sense

The end of this book makes no sense at all, Darth Vader in prison?

Starkiller fans unite

This book is awesome to anyone who played through these games a number of times. Interesting to see the different perspectives and thoughts of these characters. Honestly at the base of this story, Starkiller is on a horny expedition to find his girl that he lost while learning about himself on the way
