NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA 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 Mastersand 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 resourcesby political power or firepowerand 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.Praise for Lords of the Sith ';A compelling tale [that] gives us new insight into the relationship between Darth Vader and his master, Emperor Palpatine.'New York Daily News ';Endlessly fascinating . . . a tale [that is] not just compelling but completely thrilling.'Big Shiny Robot ';The best novel so far in this new era of official canon Star Wars stories.'IGN ';Packed with action . . . hard to put down.'Seattle Geekly

Hautnah erleben die Leser die ersten Tage von Darth VaderAnakin Skywalker ist nur noch eine entfernte Erinnerung, Darth Vaders Aufstieg ist unaufhaltsam. Der auserwählte Schüler des Imperators hat seine Treue zur dunklen Seite schnell bewiesen. Dennoch ist die Geschichte der Sith geprägt von Täuschung, Verrat und Schülern, die mit Gewalt die Stelle ihres Meisters an sich reißen wollten - und das wahre Ausmaß von Vaders Treue daher noch unbekannt. Bis jetzt. Als er sich mit Imperator Palpatine auf eine gefährliche Mission begibt, müssen die beiden Sith endlich entscheiden, ob das grausame Band, das sie verknüpft, sie zu siegreichen Verbündeten oder tödlichen Gegenspielern macht.

Unsere Zeit ist gekommen.Über 300 Jahre lang rüsteten wir uns in den Schatten;Wir wurden immer stärker, während ihr euch undeuer Volk in Sicherheit wähntet.Ihr dachtet, ihr wäret die Führer der Republik -doch ihr wurdet getäuscht.Verraten von der Dunklen Seite der Macht,mit deren Hilfe wir euch mit Blindheit schlugen.Ihr wurdet betrogen -und nun wird eure Republik fallen.Basierend auf dem fesselnden Star Wars-Onlinegame von BioWare und LucasArtsVom New York Times-BestsellerautorPaul S.
