About this listen

 The turning point for the entire Star Wars saga is at hand.

After years of civil war, the Separatists have battered the already faltering Republic nearly to the point of collapse. On Coruscant, the Senate watches anxiously as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine aggressively strips away more and more constitutional liberties in the name of safeguarding the Republic. Yoda, Mace Windu, and their fellow Masters grapple with the Chancellor's disturbing move to assume control of the Jedi Council. And Anakin Skywalker, the prophesied Chosen One, destined to bring balance to the Force, is increasingly consumed by his fear that his secret love, Senator Padme Amidala, will die.

As the combat escalates across the galaxy, the stage is set for an explosive endgame: Obi-Wan undertakes a perilous mission to destroy the dreaded Separatist military leader General Grievous. Palpatine, eager to secure even greater control, subtly influences public opinion to turn against the Jedi. And a conflicted Anakin, tormented by unspeakable visions, edges dangerously closer to the brink of a galaxy-shaping decision. It remains only for Darth Sidious, whose shadow looms ever larger, to strike the final staggering blow against the Republic, and to ordain a fearsome new Sith Lord: Darth Vader.

Critic reviews

"The perfect companion to the blockbuster film." ( Publishers Weekly)

Matthew Stover is clearly a good author, and I understand he had more freedom in this novel than the previous two to try and make a cohesive story out of the mess that is the film.

He did the best anyone could, but the core material is just too terrible - based on far too much plot convenience and so many nonsensical character decisions & actions.

Jonathan Davis is fantastic as always, though!

Probably as good as it’s going to get

Well worth a listen

Jonathan Davis is at the top of his game in this book. And what a book! Far more imaginitive than the other prequel books, this kept me gripped as the pacing and tension are handled superbly. At times it was more gripping than the film as we listen to Anakin unravel via a series of mistakes on all sides. It highlights how much the Jedi are to blame much better than anything else.

Brilliant!

If you’re a Star Wars fan you have to get this, it heightens the film itself and the whole EU. IMO better than the Bane trilogy

10/10 must read
