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 listeners 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.

"One of the better Star Wars books I've read. The author interjects quite a bit of humor, especially into the ex-trooper/smuggler hero's point of view. The only thing that's a little strange is that Darth Malgus (the main villain) loves a Twi'lek. That doesn't seem to fit with a Sith lord. "

    " I came to this series from testing the new Star Wars MMO and to see an event centered in that universe so tightly was a fun experience. The ending was unexpected, the story was a lot of fun to read, and the next book in the set it well worth the time. "

    " I could see how someone who hasn't seen trailers to the video game this is for might like it, but it's not deep enough to stand alone as a book. "

    " A nice change of pace from the Star Wars stinkers that have been coming out. Good character development, with some darker plot twists that I liked, and well written. It's not simply a clone of the original trilogy, but tries to be its own book. I'll read the sequel if the same author writes it. An easy book to fly through in between meatier tomes. "

    " I hadn't read a Star Wars book in a long time but this one was pretty good. The characters were memorable and even when you know you're reading the parts of THE bad guy, you still feel like you want this guy to succeed... I enjoyed it. "

    " A decent, if short, read that could have used thirty more pages and shorter chapters. As it is, everything felt too rushed and not quite developed enough. "

    " You know I am getting hard up when I check this out of the library. It wasn't bad for a book based on a video game based on a niche collection of a movie. Whew. It did -sound- good, with effects and music. "

    " Another Star Wars books based on a video game, another disappointing read. The underlying premises of this book are implausible -- Sith and Jedi in peace negotiations? The ending was predictable and the writing wasn't great. "

    " Overall, the last Old Republic book I'll be buying. It was so blase and the characters had no time to get any real depth. It feels like the Star Wars universe is turning into a Forgotten Realms kind of place. Hack and Slash writing with completely forgettable characters. "

    " A very slow start, took me to about page 80 to get into it. The story of a Sith, a Jedi and a Smuggler. The intersting parts are the politics, and the smugglers story. An ok read that covers an important point in Star Wars history. "
