Publisher's summary

BioWare and LucasArts - creators of the hugely popular Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic® video game - have combined their storytelling talents and cutting-edge technology for an innovative new massively multiplayer online role-playing game that allows players to create their own personal Star Wars adventure 3,500 years before the rise of Darth Vader. Now number one New York Times best-selling author Sean Williams brings the world of the game to life in his latest novel, Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance.

Tassaa Bareesh, a matriarch in the Hutt crime cartel, is holding an auction that’s drawing attention from across the galaxy. Representatives of both the Republic and the Sith Empire are present, along with a Jedi Padawan sent to investigate, a disenfranchised trooper drummed out of the Republic’s elite Blackstar Squad, and a mysterious Mandalorian with a private agenda. But the Republic’s envoy is not what he seems, the Empire’s delegate is a ruthless Sith apprentice, the Jedi Padawan is determined to do the right thing and terrified that he can’t, the trooper hopes to redeem her reputation, and the Mandalorian is somehow managing to keep one step ahead of everyone.

None of these guests - invited or uninvited - have any intention of participating in the auction. Instead they plan to steal the prize, which is locked inside an impregnable vault: Two burned chunks of an exploded star cruiser, one of which may hold the key to the wealth of an entire world.

But the truth about the treasure is dangerous and deadly. And in the end, Sith and Jedi, Republic and Empire, must do something they’ve never done before, something that all the agents of good and evil could never make them do: Join together to stop a powerful threat that could destroy the galaxy.

Critic reviews

"This novel is tied in to the Star Wars universe at a stage in its history that is still being explored in print fiction, and it is also the prequel to what promises to be the largest, most ambitious electronic role-playing game yet to be spun off of that universe. With so much riding on its shoulders, the book demands an unusual gift for cracking-good space opera, and that Williams possesses in full measure." ( Booklist)

It was a good book.

It was a good book, and I’m happy to have read it. The only thing I didn’t like was the underdeveloped characters.

great story but....

dude to the fact that I don't own a gaming PC and haven't played the game this is based off of, I feel like I missed out on fully appreciating this story but it was good none the less.

A must for star wars fans

I thought it was a great story. It was far enough removed from any major canon figures to not be easily guess-able before the end.

Star Wars and Marc Thompson Hell Yeah!

Fatal Alliance was pretty good. Anything thing Marc Thompson narrates is good. The story was a little slow to start but once it did I was hooked. It's for sure worth a read if you're a Star Wars fan, especially if you like the Old Republic era.

Great adventure and a fun listen

For me, the story started out slow, and it picked up from there. I found myself wanting to listen more and more. As the story progressed and the characters took their shape I found myself cheering for the dark side. Would love to see a movie of this.
