Synopsis: From across the galaxy they’ve come: agents of both the
Republic and the Sith Empire, an investigating Jedi Padawan, an ex-trooper
drummed out of the Republic’s elite Blackstar Squad, and a mysterious
Mandalorian. An extraordinary auction has drawn them all together—in quest of a
prize only one can claim. Each is prepared to do what he must to possess the
treasure, whose value may be the wealth of a world itself. None intend to leave
empty-handed. All have secrets, desires, and schemes. And nothing could ever
unite them as allies—except the truth about the deadly danger of the object
they covet. But can Sith and Jedi, Republic and Empire—enemies for
millennia—join as one against the certain doom of the galaxy? (from the back of the book)
Review: As an avid player of SW:TOR, I was eager to read a book set in the world. Story wise this was mediocre - not amazing, but not bad either. Good characters and action sequences, but the pace dragged at parts and the plot was mildly predictable. I enjoyed when I recognized the moves or characters or places from the game. Williams remained faithful to the feel and arch-types of the game - both the unique characters and the big-name characters, like Satele Shan. This is a fun read for any SWTOR fan, and any Star Wars fan in general.
