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.
