Product Description:
“The Sith always betray one another. . . . I’m sure you’ll learn that soon enough.”
The overthrow of the Republic is complete. The Separatist forces have been smashed, the Jedi Council nearly decimated, and the rest of the Order all but destroyed. Now absolute power rests in the iron fist of Darth Sidious–the cunning Sith lord better known as the former Senator, now 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. In turn, the Dark Lord has groomed a lethal apprentice entrusted with a top-secret mission: to comb the galaxy and dispatch the last of his masters’ enemies, thereby punctuating the dark side’s victory with the Jedi’s doom.
Since childhood, Vader’s nameless agent has known only the cold, mercenary creed of the Sith. His past is a void; his present, the carrying out of his deadly orders. But his future beckons like a glistening black jewel with the ultimate promise: to stand beside the only father he has ever known, with the galaxy at their feet. It is a destiny he can realize only by rising to the greatest challenge of his discipleship: destroying Emperor Palpatine.
The apprentice’s journeys will take him across the far reaches of the galaxy, from the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk to the junkyard planet of Raxus Prime. On these missions, the young Sith acolyte will forge an unlikely alliance with a ruined Jedi Master seeking redemption and wrestle with forbidden feelings for his beautiful comrade, Juno Eclipse. And he will be tested as never before–by shattering revelations that strike at the very heart of all he believes and stir within him long-forgotten hopes of reclaiming his name . . . and changing his destiny.

This storyline had so much promise but I found it to be very disappointing. I found it difficult at times to follow and the sentence structure and flow seemed almost forced. The battles with the Jedi were over way to quick. No Jedi is going to be so easily defeated. Overall a disappointment

I've been a SW fan since Episode IV was first brought out and have read every book printed, excluding Young Jedi Knights and graphic novels. There have been a few that were a little weak, but none as bad as this. I felt like I was reading a several hundred page video game synopsis. The plot was lame and predictable, you knew what was going to happen well in advance. I felt that there was barely even lip-service paid character development and what efforts were made were transparent and flimsy. ... Read More

This book is based on the novelization of a video game by the same name and you can tell. Sean Williams is the author for this adventure. The basic premise is that a SuperJedi becomes a Sith apprentice and wrecks havoc on the Rebellion. The question is, if the SuperJedi are only apprentices then how do the Sith ever lose to a punk like Luke Skywalker?

star wars: the force unleashed is another attempt at a multi-media event by lucas arts like their mediocre attempt with shadows of the empire in the 90s. don't get me wrong, the effort they put into the event was mediocre, i actually enjoyed shadows; but this isn't a shadows review...
this time around we've got a video game/book/graphic novel combo, with one lego spaceship and one action figure (that i know of) thrown in, almost as an insulting after-thought.
but let me just ... Read More

This novelization is difficult to review. The video game on which it is based is all about spectacular graphics and game play, with a somewhat nonsensical storyline contrived mainly to give players as many chances to cause massive destruction as possible. Stripped of the impressive visuals, cinematics, and gameplay, the tale of Starkiller the Secret Apprentice is a little tedious, and it doesn't help that many of the events surrounding the formation of the Rebel Alliance in this book fly in the face of ...
