After the events chronicled in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith,
fans have been wondering what Darth Vader did next after his transformation
from Anakin Skywalker into a cyborg-human Sith Lord. James Luceno
picks up during the last days of the Clone Wars, when the new Darth Vader
must come to terms with his new life and his overwhelming desire
for revenge against those he feel wronged him in his previous life.
The transformation of Anakin into the Emperor's chief assassin
is not an easy one, but he finds his focus when he begins to hunt down
and kill the remaining few Jedi Knights. On the Outer Rim world
of Murkhana, Jedi Masters Roan Shryne and Bol Chatak and Padawan Olee Starstone are some of the few Jedi Knights remaining alive. When their clone
allies suddenly turn against them, they are forced to go on the run in a world
that has suddenly turned viciously hostile to all Jedi. And the newly-minted
Lord Vader will not rest until they are all dead. James Luceno keeps the
action moving and ties up several loose ends from the film, making this
a must-read for Star Wars fans.
