As combat escalates across the galaxy, the stage is set for an explosive
endgame: Obi-Wan undertakes a perilous mission to destroy the dreaded
Separatist military leader, General Grievous. Supreme Chancellor
Palpatine continues to strip away constitutional liberties in the name
of security while influencing public opinion to turn against the Jedi.
And a conflicted Anakin fears that his secret love, Senator Padmé
Amidala, will die. Tormented by unspeakable visions, Anakin edges closer
to the brink of a galaxy-shaping decision. It remains only for Darth
Sidious to strike the final staggering blow against the Republic-and to
ordain a fearsome new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.
Based on the screenplay of the final film in George Lucas's epic saga,
bestselling Star Wars author Matthew Stover's novel crackles with
action, captures the iconic characters in all their complexity, and
brings a space opera masterpiece full circle in stunning style.
