Summary

Based on the epic videogame from BioWare and LucasArts.

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 in 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, 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 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 dark-side disciples. But time is brutally short. And if they don’t seize their one chance to succeed, they will surely have countless opportunities to die.

Really interesting.

It was my first audiobook ever. I was quite worried that listening to someone else reading the book for me would be annoying. However, Marc Thompson did a great job. The only thing that felt a little bit awkward at first, was the fact that the same male narrator was doing female voices, however it didn't spoil the fun. I don't have any comparison, but solely from my first experience I must say that Mr Thompson did a really awesome work.



Karpyshyn reactivated my interest in Star Wars universe. On few occasions I had to stand up while the intensive action was taking place. Every Star Wars fan should either listen or read this book.

Enjoyed Revan. Enjoyed this too!

I love these books and this comes from someone who doesn't read or even listen to books very often at all.

Great writing. Great narrator. Love this duo. Their other book, Revan, introduced me to audio books and was so good, I came back for another.

They always leave me wanting more by the end but theyre a great listen. Thanks for keeping me company on my long walks to and from work. I appreciate it.

Decent story

it was a good story, no doubt. But I would have loved something more in the vein of Path of Destruction.

Just okay

Marc Thompson's performance once again a fantastic rendition. Hits all the correct spot in his tone of dialect.
Personally did not enjoy the story as much but it is an okay story. Well written as usual by Drew Karpyshyn but can't give more than 3 stars compared to Bane, Revan, Deceived or his other works.

Thoroughly enjoyable ... Has the winning elements

... of episode 4 ... A new hope. It has a good balance of a great adventure ... Comparable to "Deceived"

Great Old Republic story

Feels like a classic spy adventure in the Star Wars universe with great characters and unique, thrilling set pieces.

Very good

I think that it's the weakest of the old republic series because I'm not a huge fan of family stuff. But still, an excellent star wars book

Drew karpyshyn strikes again

The second star wars book that completely drew me in no pun intended but I couldn't put it down even for a minute. Just as compelling as the authors brilliant ending for the legendary Revan and the amazing tales of Darth bane. Marc Thompson in my opinion was born to play the roles of Georges infamous universe I would recommend this audio-book to any star wars fan looking for a story to be invested in great characters and jaw dropping emotion loved every minute of it best buy.

I would love to see more come out in the near distant future.
