Darth Plagueis

"Plagueis is a fascinating character with a unique perspective on the universe, the force and the Sith grand plan to conquer both. James Luceno also manages to make the book very engaging with its space opera politics intertwining that with Sith philosophy and an origin story for Palpatine and you get one engaging read."

"Starting my Star Wars read through with this book was a great idea. Any Star Wars fan wanting a deeper understanding of how and why the prequels happened needs to read this book. I had so many “Aha!” Moments through my read-through that satisfied the questions I had once accepted as “unknowns” and gave such depth to the intergalactic politics that I used to only dream of discovering. Fantastic writing and dialogue really captured the essence of all the characters and had me engaged all the way through. 10/10 would recommend to my fellow geeks"
