Description

Based on unproduced episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, this new novel features Asajj Ventress, former Sith apprentice turned bounty hunter and one of the great antiheroes in Star Wars history.

The only way to bring down the Sith's most dangerous warrior may be to join forces with the dark side.

In the war for control of the galaxy between the armies of the dark side and the Republic, former Jedi Master turned ruthless Sith Lord Count Dooku has grown ever more brutal in his tactics. Despite the powers of the Jedi and the military prowess of their clone army, the sheer number of fatalities is taking a terrible toll. And when Dooku orders the massacre of a flotilla of helpless refugees, the Jedi Council feels it has no choice but to take drastic action: targeting the man responsible for so many war atrocities, Count Dooku himself.

But the ever-elusive Dooku is dangerous prey for even the most skilled hunter. So the Council makes the bold decision to bring both sides of the Force's power to bear - pairing brash Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos with infamous one-time Sith acolyte Asajj Ventress. Though Jedi distrust for the cunning killer who once served at Dooku's side still runs deep, Ventress' hatred for her former master runs deeper. She's more than willing to lend her copious talents as a bounty hunter - and assassin - to Vos' quest.

Together, Ventress and Vos are the best hope for eliminating Dooku - as long as the emerging feelings between them don't compromise their mission. But Ventress is determined to have her retribution and at last let go of her dark Sith past. Balancing the complicated emotions she feels for Vos with the fury of her warrior's spirit, she resolves to claim victory on all fronts - a vow that will be mercilessly tested by her deadly enemy... and her own doubt.

Praise for Dark Disciple:

“Reading Dark Disciple really feels like you’re watching some of the best episodes of The Clone Wars.” (EUCantina)

“Emotionally charged.... Christie Golden does a wonderful job of capturing the characters.” (Roqoo Depot)

“A cool inclusion into the Star Wars mythos.... Ventress and Vos have a cool and compelling dynamic, and are used to explore more of what it means to flirt with the Dark Side of the Force.” (IGN)

“[The Clone Wars have been] a huge part of the Star Wars brand for years, and [Christie] Golden manages to craft a story worthy of the themes and characters that fans have come to relate to.... [She] uses this opportunity to craft Dark Disciple into a spy/espionage thriller.” (Tech Times)

“Golden especially excelled at bringing Ventress’s biting but appealing personality to life.... She’s very much a woman trying to find her way, and Dark Disciple adds nuance.” (Nerdist)

Surprisingly good

This book definitely draws on the back story of characters from The Clone Wars. I would proceed with caution if you have not watched that show. That being said, this book really explored some themes and characters more deeply than the show allowed and this really gave more life to some already great characters. I would strongly recommend this book to any SW fan, and to anyone who watched and enjoyed The Clone Wars!

i cried every time i thought about it for weeks

i loved this story, forever wishing theyd adapted it into clone wars but i can see why they didn't thought it'd be nice to see it done in the future maybe. this book is fantastic, the only reason it gets 4 stars is because (SPOILERS) of ventress dying, my girl deserved better than getting played by the jedi council like this

Essential for fans of the Clone Wars TV Series

If this were a stand-alone book with little or no connection to the long and thoroughly serialized series that is Star Wars, it might be passed over as yet another unremarkable space-fantasy story for readers who thirst for that sort of thing.

But as it stands, this IS Star Wars. So it is only through the lens of Star Wars that this novel can be fully appreciated.

Taken from unproduced scripts written for what would have been part of seasons 7 and 8 of the seminal TV series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Dark Disciple puts to page the intended conclusion of one of series most poignant and emotionally satisfying of story arcs: the redemption of former-Sith assasin Asajj Ventress. Thanks to the more intimate medium of prose, author Christie Golden allows the reader to get inside the head of Ventress, Quinlan Vos and other characters of the TV series to understand their inner workings in a way that wouldn't be as easy to translate on the small screen. And the story is all the more resonate for it.

Highly recommended for those fans who are keen to jump into the seventh and final season of Clone Wars airing as of the writing of this review. Please read or listen to this before you do that; it's fully canon! "Crystal Crisis on Utapau" and the comic "Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir" are also recommended before viewing Season 7.

Great Story, Well Written

Very Profound story and great redemption arc. I will not go into any details but this is def good enough to be made into clone wars episodes. (Being the best ones of the whole season). This story brings different perspectives to life and demonstrates both brash consiquences with harrowing relizations. Kept me engaged throughout the whole book.
