A Star Wars book that takes place during the Old Republic days. I enjoyed this book. The fight scenes were described well. The author did a good job capturing what you would expect from a Star Wars novel. Lightsaber duels, evil villians, and good guys trying to thwart those villians. My only complaint was the conclusion to the final duel. I did not care for that. Besides that, this is a good Star Wars EU book.
Liked this book more than the others I have read so far. The story moved along quickly and the book was full of action.

Based on other reviews I thought this wasn't going to be that great, but I liked it quite well. The story is well written and there are a few twists here and there that keep it interesting. It's the not greatest of Star Wars novels, but it's a good read. I will admit, though, that Darth Malgus looks a bit too much like Vader to be considered an original character. But his character qualities are pretty good, though, as well as the others in the book. I took quite well to them.
