Publisher Description
The second novel set in the Old Republic era and based on the massively multiplayer online game Star Wars®: The Old Republic™ ramps up the action and brings readers face-to-face for the first time with a Sith warrior to rival the most sinister of the Order’s Dark Lords—Darth Malgus, the mysterious, masked Sith of the wildly popular “Deceived” and “Hope” game trailers.
Malgus brought down the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in a brutal assault that shocked the galaxy. But if war crowned him the darkest of Sith heroes, peace would transform him into something far more heinous—something Malgus would never want to be, but cannot stop, any more than he can stop the rogue Jedi fast approaching.
Her name is Aryn Leneer—and the lone Knight that Malgus cut down in the fierce battle for the Jedi Temple was her Master. And now she’s going to find out what happened to him, even if it means breaking every rule in the book.
Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!
Customer Reviews
A good read for Star Wars fans
It stuck to its guns, really latched onto the meat of the story that it was trying to tell, and I was hooked from the first page. My only gripe is that it takes the classical viewpoints switching of Star Wars to a new extreme, where it feels like it’s trying to tell three different stories at once.
Anticlimactic
This book built up to and ending about to chapters long. This left me unsatisfied and wanting to know more about what happened after. I do not expect to find out anything more as this book did not cover anything that was in the first book. Over all I think this book is a good read I do love the lore. Just a slightly unsatisfied feeling at the end!
Non-stop action
The book started strong and road that wave of action the entire time. It kept the cast small and the planets minimal and it really let the focus stay on the story, not trying to show off all these planets and characters we’ve never heard of. Probably my favorite Legends book I’ve read so far. Must read!!!!
