Publisher's summary

The overthrow of the Republic is complete. The Separatist forces have been smashed, the Jedi Council nearly decimated, and the rest of the Order all but destroyed. Now absolute power rests in the iron fist of Darth Sidious - the cunning Sith Lord better known as the former Senator, now Emperor, Palpatine.

But more remains to be done. Pockets of resistance in the galaxy must still be defeated and missing Jedi accounted for...and dealt with. These crucial tasks fall to the Emperor's ruthless enforcer, Darth Vader. In turn, the Dark Lord has groomed a lethal apprentice entrusted with a top-secret mission: to comb the galaxy and dispatch the last of his masters' enemies, thereby punctuating the dark side's victory with the Jedi's doom.

Since childhood, Vader's nameless agent has known only the cold, mercenary creed of the Sith. But his future beckons with the ultimate promise: to stand beside the only father he has ever known, with the galaxy at their feet. It is a destiny he can realize only by rising to the greatest challenge of his discipleship: destroying Emperor Palpatine.

The apprentice's journeys will take him across the far reaches of the galaxy. And he will be tested as never before - by shattering revelations that strike at the very heart of all he believes and stir within him long-forgotten hopes of reclaiming his name...and changing his destiny.

A great new addition to the Star Wars Universe

I enjoy and love all things Star Wars, I really loved this book as it tells an intriguing story that is different to what we already know. In the same time this story being different actually brings information about the birth of the rebellion, which happens in an interesting way with the main character being the unlikely hero. I really enjoyed knowing/ learning how the rebellion was born. This book is great and anyone will enjoy fan to first timer alike.

The one !

Great story

Great story, this was my second SW audible book and I throughly enjoyed it. It was well illustrated and kept me engaged.

Gives me a new prospective on Galen Marek

I played both of the force unleashed games I wondered what actually happened what Starkiller did in certain scenes. To me this is where the rebel alliance truly began. Starkiller sacrificing himself and the alliance using his family crest as the rebel symbol. Honestly I cried a little when Juno said “The first rebel, the one who had given them hope” referring to Galen on kashyyyk.
