About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Join Republic spy Theron Shan as he faces off against the Sith Empire itself in this epic installment of The Old Republic.
Light side, dark side—these are just empty words. . . . There are only two sides I care about: us and them. Republic or Empire!
The Sith Empire is in flux. The Emperor is missing, presumed dead, and an ambitious Sith lord’s attempt to seize the throne has ended fatally. Still, Darth Karrid, commander of the fearsome Imperial battle cruiser Ascendant Spear, continues her relentless efforts to achieve total Sith domination of the galaxy.
But Karrid’s ruthless determination is more than matched by the steely resolve of Theron Shan, whose unfinished business with the Empire could change the course of the war for good. Though the son of a Jedi master, Theron does not wield the Force—but, like his renowned mother, he has the spirit of rebellion in his blood. As a top covert agent for the Republic, he struck a crucial blow against the Empire by exposing and destroying a Sith superweapon arsenal—which makes him the ideal operative for a daring and dangerous mission to end Ascendant Spear’s reign of terror.
Joined by hot-headed smuggler Teff’ith, with whom he has an inexplicable bond, and wise Jedi warrior Gnost-Dural, Darth Karrid’s former master, Theron must match wits and weapons with a battle-tested crew of the most cold-blooded disciples of the Dark Side. But time is running brutally short. And if they don’t seize their one chance to succeed, they will surely have countless opportunities to die.

Being a follower of Star Wars, I normally find myself pulled to its stories that expand on its universe. I myself dived into this story having no knowledge of the characters or anything, however, I found the characters easy to relate to. My favorite character in the story was Jedi Master Gnost-Dural, he took the brunt for the team and handle it well. This is the first book I have read from Drew Karpyshyn, his writing is well rounded and really flushes out what the characters are doing, saying and thinking at the right moments. The ending felt rushed but I guess that was intended adding to the frantic pace that occurred during the scenes. Other than that, the story was good and I enjoyed every moment of it.

This title reminds me of the many struggles the original characters experienced.Theron was strong with no real connection to the force,much like Han Solo.Each was strong&loyal to the very end.I really enjoyed the storyline.

For me, the book did start out slow but it did gain momentum and quickly. Drew Karpyshyn is one of my favorite writers. Definitely worth a read.
