"The Sith always betray one another. . . . I'm sure you'll learn that
soon enough."
The overthrow of the Republic is complete. Absolute power now rests in
the iron fist of Darth Sidious-the cunning Sith Lord better known as
Emperor Palpatine. But more remains to be done. Pockets of resistance in
the galaxy must still be defeated and missing Jedi accounted for . . .
and dealt with. These crucial tasks fall to the Emperor's ruthless
enforcer, Darth Vader, who in turn has groomed a lethal, nameless Sith
apprentice to secretly dispatch the last of his masters' enemies. This
acolyte's journey will take him across the far reaches of the galaxy and
test him with shattering revelations that strike at the very heart of
all he believes, stirring within him long-forgotten hopes of reclaiming
his name . . . and changing his destiny.
