Star Wars: Master of Evil

De: Adam Christopher

Narrado por: Marc Thompson

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.

fantastic

well written, great narrator. also new cannon events to star wars. exceptional buy. overall 10/10

a Vader novel with no Vader :/

I was so excited to finally get a book about Darth Vader from his perspective but here we are so :/ not a bad book but I thought a book about Vader would be from his perspective, which I was so excited for because we haven’t gotten a book like that yet but instead, we’re following a random one of his guards, like that’s not what I got the book for😭🙏🥀
Anyway it’s like a solid book but not at all what it says it is

not enough Darth Vader

I feel like this book kinda catfished me. It's a retelling of a Darth Vader comic, with a red guard as the main character. it's more a storyline about chronic illness and depression. it's not bad.... it's just not what what's advertised.

kind of lack luster

compared to previous novels featuring Vader, this one was pretty boring. performance was great as usual from Marc Thompson, but the story just wasn't that great. kind of a useless filler novel set between some pretty great comic runs that just doesn't deliver much, imo.

Not even about Vader.

The book follows an imperial body guard instead of Vader. As per usual anything new that is Star Wars is a massive let down. I am so tired of the directors and authors making nothing but garbage

it was missing Vader

The book was okay, but it was not about Vader. That was very disappointing

Yikes

The good news begins and ends with 'this story is solid'. But between the narration being often over acted in a manner Shatner would find over the top and not nearly enough story taking place from inside the view point of Vader, I would not recommend this book.
