Great book, lots more action from qui-gon and obi-wan, lots of starwars pollitical talk and gives you more background into characters and the story to the phantom menace episode 1.

Detailed and occasionally interesting
Review date: 2009-09-13 Rating: 6 out of 10
On the plus side, this is packed with a high level of detail regarding characters, races, locations and items from SW3, but I personally ended up a bit bemused by it, as it is all out of context. If you'd learn the information in a novel it would mean something. It was nice that it was roughly in order so you could follow the story and resolve some of the puzzling points and background activities (e.g. what Count Dooku had done) from the film, but it all seemed a bit dry to me.
Empathise with the Dark Lord...

I enjoyed this - i really liked how the author put you into the mind of the newly rebuilt Vader & the way his existence in that life support suit is described.
There's some interesting scenes involving Vader's relationship with his master, Emperor Palpatine - The resentment is starting to ferment...
Also the book's closing scenes where Obi Wan, now residing on Tatooine, learns the true fate of his former padewan will chill to the bone!
A very decent follow up to The Revenge Of The Sith...Bring on the TV series..
Should have been better

I was really hoping for a true Darth Vader novel; a story about the inner man and his suffering following his fall to the dark side and his final conflict with Obi-Wan and the injuries he suffered. I had been expecting a very dark story about his pain and despair and instead much of it was in the style of nearly all Darth Vader stories, a vaguely menacing protagonist without much depth and some fairly disposable characters for him to destroy. We really do need a much more grown-up story about one of the most effective villains every created.
Major disappointment
Review date: 2007-04-16 Rating: 2 out of 10
There are several problems with this book beginning with the sad fact that there is no real story, just a loosely woven collection of vignettes featuring a collection of minor characters that are best forgotten. Vader never develops as a result of any of the events depicted between this book's covers, although the author claims that Vader makes a major breakthrough in understanding the darkside. Unfortunately, we're never shown why, how, or what that possibly means.
Secondly, the book is populated with minor characters (Vader isn't introduced until nearly page 50) that are really nothing more than fodder for the Dark Lord, characters that are stood up only so they can be knocked down. Except for their names, they are indistinguishable.
Which speaks to the major shortcoming of this book, the very poor writing. I was never once "drawn" into any of the scenes or the lives of the characters. The writing was flat, the characters d.o.a., and the story missing in action.
