Summary
Throughout the galaxy, it was believed that Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, had died on Coruscant during the siege of the Jedi Temple. And, to some extent, that was true. Anakin was dead.
From the site of Anakin Skywalker's last stand, on the molten surface of the planet Mustafar, where he sought to destroy his friend and former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, a fearsome specter in black has risen. Once the most powerful Knight ever known to the Jedi Order, he is now a disciple of the dark side, a lord of the dreaded Sith, and the avenging right hand of the galaxy's ruthless new Emperor. Seduced, deranged, and destroyed by the machinations of the Dark Lord Sidious, Anakin Skywalker is dead, and Darth Vader lives.
Word of the events that created him, the Jedi Council's failed mutiny against Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the self-crowned Emperor's retaliatory command to exterminate the Jedi Order, and Anakin's massacre of his comrades and Masters in the Jedi Temple, has yet to reach all quarters. On the Outer Rim world of Murkhana, Jedi Masters Roan Shryne and Bol Chatak and Padawan Olee Starstone are leading a charge on a Separatist stronghold, unaware that the tide, red with Jedi blood, has turned suddenly against them.
For the handful of scattered Jedi, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy somehow, someday reclaimed. Yet more important still is the well-being of the twin infants, Leia and Luke Skywalker, the children of Anakin and his doomed bride, Padme Amidala. Separated after Padme's death, they must be made safe at all costs, lest the hope they represent for the future be turned to horror by the new Sith regime, and the unspeakable power of the dark side.

Nice plot but wanted much more Vader!
does a great job of explaining Vader's motivations and reasons for hating the Jedi but felt the story should have been all about him rather than some other Jedi who happen to bump into him a few times throughout the book. still... great story. worth it for the extra lore.

Great way to dive deeper into Star Wars lore
Listening to this book was such a pleasure. The narrative was great, and the sound effects gave life to the story. It was almost like watching one of the movies. The story it self was great, and grants you access into some of the thoughts that went through Vader's mind following the events of the end of the clone wars, and the events on Mustafar.

Good but abridged
Fun but lightweight. Gives a taster of the Darth Vader transition. Would have liked a bit more.

A must read for Vader fans
If there is anything negative I would say about this, is that its too short.
One of the best Star Wars books I have listened too, story combine with Jonathan Davis performance delivers the perfect introduction too Darth Vader. A excellent companion story to the Revenge of Sith novelisation, which the story goes into Anakin psychy and explains more about his motivation for going to the dark side.
Brilliant too listen.
