Star Wars: Master of Evil

De: Adam Christopher

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • After Revenge of the Sith, a newly forged Darth Vader hunts for the secrets of life and death under the watchful eye of Emperor Palpatine.

In the wake of Emperor Palpatine’s rise to power, the true nature of his most sinister enforcer remains a mystery. Darth Vader is a dominant yet illusive figure: the shadow cast by a malignant Imperial regime, unknowable to even its top officials. But even as his humanity gives way to myth, Vader remains haunted by the promises of the dark side, seeking the ultimate power that his master has hinted at but withheld—the power to conquer death itself.

On the volcanic world of Mustafar, Vader undertakes a dark ritual, bleeding a kyber crystal to forge his lightsaber. This act unleashes a power far greater than he anticipated, giving him a glimpse into the limitless potential of the Force.

Vader is determined to follow this vision, even if it means defying his master’s orders. Yet he finds the Emperor suspiciously supportive of his mission, even sending Vader to the Diso system to investigate rumors of a Force-wielding shaman able to raise the dead. At his side are a cadre of the Emperor’s scarlet-robed Royal Guard, led by Colonel Halland Goth—a decorated soldier with a very personal interest in Vader’s mission.

Even as the Emperor’s true motivations reveal themselves, Vader falls deeper into obsession. His journey takes him far across the galaxy, chasing rumors and phantoms. But no matter how far he travels, he cannot escape the shadows within his own soul. Haunted by the echoes of his past, Vader circles the true resolution to his quest: only once all weakness is purged can he become a master of evil.

A great addition to canon!!

Master and apprentice finally puts forward a story that Lucas film should find worthy of its entry into Cannon. This is a fantastic tale of Darth Vader‘s first years as the enforcer of the emperor. I absolutely love this book and wish that Disney and Lucas film would tell more stories that are this good.

Great story about Vader

While some have said the book/audiobook isn't about Vader, it actually is exactly about Vader. The story starts off about a royal guard, and at times there are some chapters that deal mostly with that character. The character being employed by the Emperor to spy on Vader. There are also chapters dealing only with Vader (such as when he leads older clone troopers to a secret location). The story starts pre-Vader with Count Dooku, and how he hid a temple of power from the Darth Sidious. Are there slow chapters, yeah. But overall it's cohesive and wonderful.

The voice acting is great, a bit too intense. Sometimes the subject matter is fairly boring but the narration describes it like a fight to the death, when it's just about copying data to a drive. But overall great story.

great performance, slow moving story

I like the production.what I dont like is how slow the story moves along. its a looong story could be told in 3/4 the time.

Great story and going into the mind of Darth Vader. I wish they would write more of them.
