Publisher Description
'The best Star Wars publication to date . . . [James] Luceno takes Darth Plagueis down the dark path and never looks back.' Newsday
Darth Plagueis: one of the most brilliant Sith Lords who ever lived. Possessing power is all he desires; losing it is the only thing he fears. As an apprentice, he embraces the ruthless ways of the Sith. When the time is right, he destroys his Master-and vows never to suffer the same fate. For like no other disciple of the dark side, Darth Plagueis learns to command the ultimate power . . . over life and death.
Darth Sidious: Plagueis's chosen apprentice. Under the guidance of his Master, he secretly studies the ways of the Sith while publicly rising to power in the galactic government, first as Senator, then as Chancellor, and eventually as Emperor.
Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, Master and acolyte, target the galaxy for domination-and the Jedi Order for annihilation. But can they defy the merciless Sith tradition? Or will the desire of one to rule supreme, and the dream of the other to live forever, sow the seeds of their destruction?
'Luceno draws on his storytelling skill and prodigious knowledge of the [Star Wars] world . . . to craft a complex tale of ambition and desire.' Library Journal
Customer Reviews
Amazing.
A fantastic telling of the uprising of Darth Sidious. Engaging from beginning to end.
Simply awesome
If your a fan of the prequels or someone who thinks the story wasn't explained well enough in the prequels, this book will change just that. Good read for Star Wars lovers and ties in nicely with the movies. Should become a movie!
Fair good book
This book is intricately woven into the first movie. It reveals secrets in 'Revenge of the Sith' as viewers never truly understood how Palpatine came to power. This book is quite interesting as it shows us the Siths view on the Republic.
Overall the book was 'ok' it was boring in the parts of politics however the parts of Darth Mauls development and Count Dooku's intervention were quite interesting.
