Book description
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.
And when the time is right, he destroys his Master - but 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 another to live forever, sow the seeds
of their destruction?
