Audio Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . .
 
When the Emperor and his notorious apprentice, Darth Vader, find themselves stranded in the middle of insurgent action on an inhospitable planet, they must rely on each other, the Force, and their own ruthlessness to prevail.
 
“It appears things are as you suspected, Lord Vader. We are indeed hunted.”
 
Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, is just a memory. Darth Vader, newly anointed Sith Lord, is ascendant. The Emperor’s chosen apprentice has swiftly proven his loyalty to the dark side. Still, the history of the Sith Order is one of duplicity, betrayal, and acolytes violently usurping their Masters—and the truest measure of Vader’s allegiance has yet to be taken. Until now.
 
On Ryloth, a planet crucial to the growing Empire as a source of slave labor and the narcotic known as “spice,” an aggressive resistance movement has arisen, led by Cham Syndulla, an idealistic freedom fighter, and Isval, a vengeful former slave. But Emperor Palpatine means to control the embattled world and its precious resources—by political power or firepower—and he will be neither intimidated nor denied. Accompanied by his merciless disciple, Darth Vader, he sets out on a rare personal mission to ensure his will is done.
 
For Syndulla and Isval, it’s the opportunity to strike at the very heart of the ruthless dictatorship sweeping the galaxy. And for the Emperor and Darth Vader, Ryloth becomes more than just a matter of putting down an insurrection: When an ambush sends them crashing to the planet’s surface, where inhospitable terrain and an army of resistance fighters await them, they will find their relationship tested as never before. With only their lightsabers, the dark side of the Force, and each other to depend on, the two Sith must decide if the brutal bond they share will make them victorious allies or lethal adversaries.

    Lords of the Sith was surprisingly strong book considering it sought to explore the relationship between the Emperor and Vader on a level I've not experienced previously. The focus on a world away from the Core and a small scale uprising threatened to be a dull book, but the characters were strong and each given a strong subplot that was woven together over a series of chapters until it built to a satisfying, and somewhat unexpected, conclusion. For the first time, the listener gets a true understanding of the power of the Dark Side as wielded by the Emperor. This is well worth the time it takes to listen. It starts out a bit slow, but quickly builds both pace and tension until one cannot wait for the final battle. As always, I continue to be in awe of the narration skills of Jonathan Davis. He truly makes it easy to become immersed in the story and I can easily visualize the world and the characters as I listen. I recommend this to all Star Wars fans. You won't be disappointed.

    Fair at best. I've read or listened to most of the canon Star Wars and several legends titles. This one just didn't capture my attention as many others.
