NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This essential Star Wars Legends novel chronicles the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, and the origins of the saga’s most enduring evil—the malevolent Sith master Palpatine.

“The best Star Wars publication to date . . . [James] Luceno takes Darth Plagueis down the dark path and never looks back.”—Newsday
Darth Plagueis: one of the most brilliant Sith Lords who ever lived. Possessing power is all he desires; losing it is the only thing he fears. As an apprentice, he embraces the ruthless ways of the Sith. When the time is right, he destroys his Master—and vows never to suffer the same fate. For like no other disciple of the dark side, Darth Plagueis learns to command the ultimate power . . . over life and death.
Darth Sidious: Plagueis’s chosen apprentice. Under the guidance of his Master, he secretly studies the ways of the Sith while publicly rising to power in the galactic government, first as Senator, then as Chancellor, and eventually as Emperor.
Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious, Master and acolyte, target the galaxy for domination—and the Jedi Order for annihilation. But can they defy the merciless Sith tradition? Or will the desire of one to rule supreme, and the dream of the other to live forever, sow the seeds of their destruction?
“Luceno draws on his storytelling skill and prodigious knowledge of the [Star Wars] world . . . to craft a complex tale of ambition and desire.”—Library Journal

      In the film Star Wars(R) Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the Emperor Palpatine tells disillusioned Jedi Anakin Skywalker the story of the legendary Sith Lord, Darth Plagueis, who sought to master the Force to control the power over life and death. In this tale of intrigue and ambition, treachery and passion, Luceno chronicles the rise and fall of this seminal Sith Lord. Within Plagueis's story, however, lies another tale--that of his apprentice, Darth Sidious, who will one day be known as the Emperor Palpatine. VERDICT A veteran author of many Star Wars(R) novels (Dark Lord; The Rise of Darth Vader; Labyrinth of Evil), Luceno draws on his storytelling skill and prodigious knowledge of the world created by filmmaker George Lucas to craft a complex tale of ambition and desire. With a varied cast of believable characters, this story should please the many fans of the series.
