The Emperor is missing, presumed dead, and an ambitious Sith lords 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.

Though the son of a Jedi master, Theron does not wield the Forcebut like his renowned mother, the spirit of rebellion is 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 arsenalwhich makes him the ideal operative for a daring and dangerous mission to end Ascendant Spears reign of terror.

Book Number 9 off my #BookSpinBingo list

Two books in one. Maybe that's why the stories couldn't fully convince me. Or I expected much.

Well, they're not Karpyshyns best books, but still nice Star Wars stories. You can read the books without knowing the games 👍

If you're a Knights of the Old Republic fan, this makes a lot of sense. Looks like Theron inherited his ancestor's racing talents, ha!

If you've ever played the game associated with the book, you can see this statue on Nar Shaddaa. My guild and I had a snowball fight on the Promenade, and my team and I hid on this very statue. We won. :D. Also, Karragga wears a purple hat that looks like a bell. Wish that was in the book...

Satele always seemed a bit stoic, impersonal to her only child (Theron) and ex (Jace) because there was a war going on and protecting others came first. I thought that was cruel, but then I wondered if I was her, would I do the same? What is more important-your family or the galaxy?
