Chronicle Toward Books The Force Unleashed (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed #1)
The Sith always betray one another. . . . I'm sure you'll learn that soon enough."The overthrow of the Republic is complete. The Separatist forces have been smashed, the Jedi Council nearly decimated, and the rest of the Order all but destroyed. Now absolute power rests in the iron fist of Darth Sidious-the cunning Sith lord better known as the former Senator, now Emperor, Palpatine. But more remains to be done. Pockets of resistance in the galaxy must still be defeated and missing Jedi accounted for . . . and dealt with. These crucial tasks fall to the Emperor's ruthless enforcer, Darth Vader. In turn, the Dark Lord has groomed a lethal apprentice entrusted with a top-secret mission: to comb the galaxy and dispatch the last of his masters' enemies, thereby punctuating the dark side's victory with the Jedi's doom.
Since childhood, Vader's nameless agent has known only the cold, mercenary creed of the Sith. His past is a void; his present, the carrying out of his deadly orders. But his future beckons like a glistening black jewel with the ultimate promise: to stand beside the only father he has ever known, with the galaxy at their feet. It is a destiny he can realize only by rising to the greatest challenge of his discipleship: destroying Emperor Palpatine.
The apprentice's journeys will take him across the far reaches of the galaxy, from the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk to the junkyard planet of Raxus Prime. On these missions, the young Sith acolyte will forge an unlikely alliance with a ruined Jedi Master seeking redemption and wrestle with forbidden feelings for his beautiful comrade, Juno Eclipse. And he will be tested as never before-by shattering revelations that strike at the very heart of all he believes and stir within him long-forgotten hopes of reclaiming his name . . . and changing his destiny."

Star Wars The Force Unleashed hits the ground running and doesn't stop. The action is continuous throughout the book and the plot is quite involving. Sean Williams did an excellent job adapting the video game from Lucasarts. Unlike the Playstation 2 game, the story fits in with the Star Wars movies. Darth Vader secretly takes an apprentice whom he trains in the ways of the dark side to do his bidding. But can anyone truly hide anything from the Emperor? Filled with a constantly winding, twistingBefore Disney released the shark jump that was The Last Jedi, Star Wars was a force to be reckoned with, and not just in celluloid form! Between bestselling books such as the Thrawn trilogy, the fabulous computer-animated Clone Wars television series, and computer and video games ranging from the critically acclaimed Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader to the various Lego titles, Lucas' space opera was more than just films. Were they all amazing? No...but, when done right, they were a wonder to
Action, action and,.... actionVery entertaining book that kept my interest throughout. I started it with my son to get him reading more - but I found myself enjoying it more than him. Starkiller's incredible powers are something I wanted to see more of in the current movies - something I envisioned for Luke. Looking forward to reading the next book.
I was intrigued at first by the idea of Vader having a secret apprentice and it was good for awhile..Then by the time he is killed (or not lol) that is when it started getting weird. I had heard from various places that Starkiller was the most powerful sith and well I disagree with this.. Maybe he could have been at one time, maybe the potential was there. In the end though he went to the light side so maybe He could have been the most powerful Jedi/ I don't know..He was more of a gray character

The main character is Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller. Vader himself also
I haven't played the game, so this is what i would call an innocent perspective and review. Aside from the distracting and loud header, the book was smoothly written. It was easy to move from page to page being able to focus on imagining the story rather than marvelling at intricate elegant words. Even though at first I was so angry there was romance I ranted a bit, I was actually really sad it didn't blossom more. Like most books, the pinnacle was squashed into about 50 pages or less and I had
