About this listen

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Join Republic spy Theron Shan as he faces off against the Sith Empire itself in this epic installment of The Old Republic.

Light side, dark side—these are just empty words. . . . There are only two sides I care about: us and them. Republic or Empire!

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 by 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, he has the spirit of rebellion 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 disciples of the Dark Side. But time is running brutally short. And if they don’t seize their one chance to succeed, they will surely have countless opportunities to die.

Critic reviews

“An espionage story interwoven with personal conflicts . . . space battles, lightsaber fights, and gripping spy missions . . . Annihilation may be Karpyshyn’s strongest novel yet.”—Roqoo Depot

“Pure Star Wars action-adventure entertainment as only Drew Karpyshyn can write it.”—The Founding Fields

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.

Enjoyed Revan. Enjoyed this too!

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.
