About this ebook

The dark side could not seduce him. The Empire could not control him. Death could not defeat him. And now, nothing can stop him from seizing his destiny.

As ruthless apprentice to Darth Vader, Starkiller was mercilessly schooled in the ways of the dark side, commanded to exterminate the last of the purged Jedi Order, and groomed for the ultimate Sith power play: assassination of the Emperor. He served without question, killed without remorse, and lost his heart without warning to beautiful Imperial fighter pilot Juno Eclipse, never suspecting that he was just a tool in the schemes of his masters—until it was too late to escape their lethal betrayal.

Juno mourned Starkiller as dead . . . but now he is back, purged of all memories and programmed to kill. And as fate brings Juno and Starkiller closer to reuniting, with Darth Vader determined not to lose his assassin a second time, they will both have to make a stand. The prize is freedom. The punishment for failing will be eternal enslavement to the dark side of the Force. . . .

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!

Ratings and reviews

Worst star wars novel ever. The most hard core sith spawn ever was a total wuss bag. He let some girl hold his hand and order him around. And the whole cloning thing ... That's been played to death. I'm tired of Boba Fett and Palpatine and Darth Maul and whoever coming back from the grave. Just stay dead already.

More accurate than the game. It very thoroughly explains what happens in the story instead of having to clear a series of frustrating levels and boss fights. It tells the light side ending where Starkiller and Kota bring Vader to justice instead of the alternate ending when Starkiller attempts to kill Vader and the ghost of the old starkiller kills his doppelganger and steals his ship and tries to annihilate the remainder of the surviving Jedi like Luke, Obi Wan and Yoda. It IS possible that they will make a third one, considering the story seems to just go on, and on, and... ah forget it. Boring conversation, blah-blah-blah. Anyways great book, make a third one, and GOODBYE

Didn't like it as much as the first but does explain things that the video game leaves out.
