About this listen
Throughout the galaxy, it was believed that Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One, had died on Coruscant during the siege of the Jedi Temple. And, to some extent, that was true. Anakin was dead.
From the site of Anakin Skywalker's last stand, on the molten surface of the planet Mustafar, where he sought to destroy his friend and former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, a fearsome specter in black has risen. Once the most powerful Knight ever known to the Jedi Order, he is now a disciple of the dark side, a lord of the dreaded Sith, and the avenging right hand of the galaxy's ruthless new Emperor. Seduced, deranged, and destroyed by the machinations of the Dark Lord Sidious, Anakin Skywalker is dead, and Darth Vader lives.
Word of the events that created him, the Jedi Council's failed mutiny against Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the self-crowned Emperor's retaliatory command to exterminate the Jedi Order, and Anakin's massacre of his comrades and Masters in the Jedi Temple, has yet to reach all quarters. On the Outer Rim world of Murkhana, Jedi Masters Roan Shryne and Bol Chatak and Padawan Olee Starstone are leading a charge on a Separatist stronghold, unaware that the tide, red with Jedi blood, has turned suddenly against them.
For the handful of scattered Jedi, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy somehow, someday reclaimed. Yet more important still is the well-being of the twin infants, Leia and Luke Skywalker, the children of Anakin and his doomed bride, Padme Amidala. Separated after Padme's death, they must be made safe at all costs, lest the hope they represent for the future be turned to horror by the new Sith regime, and the unspeakable power of the dark side.

Great story
overall the story to this book was very cool especially learning more about Obi-Wan.
but I have listened to many audio Star Wars books and I have to say Mark Thompson delivers the best narration. this one was very difficult to sit through because the narrator just had no vocal range

A must for every Star Wars fan!
Despite a slow start, the story picks up pretty quickly, was involved from start to finish. The narrator is great and the sound effects add so much to the experience, it’s really like watching a Star Wars movie! Strongly recommend!!

Anakins descent into Lord Vader
Great book listened to it multiple times, if I had a complaint it would only be that the book wasn’t longer!

Loved it
Love me some Vader. I was disappointed Olee Starstone survived. If anyone deserved to get murdered by Vader, it was her annoying ass.

An essential story for any Darth Vader fan
Fantastic voice acting as always. Jonathan Davis is my favourite. Only nitpick is, get at least one woman to do the female voices!
James Luceno is a master of Star Wars and truly understands these characters. I loved the character arcs and only wish I saw even a bit more of Vader !

This book should be the next Star Wars movie!
This book slays the Disney sequels. Luceno did almost as good a job with this single novel, as Timothy Zahn did with the Heir to the Empire trilogy!
