![]() The character of Scourge is also a delight to read as he’s not the sharpest laser-tool in the space-box so it’s almost endearing to follow him as he wades through the plotting of Sith far more clever and powerful than him. Legends has always worked better when it sits firmly in the ridiculous, compared to the more conservative canon works ( The High Republic notwithstanding). Some may take exception to this era’s dark Emperor being so powerful he makes Palpatine look like a naughty child but honestly it’s one of the books strengths in my opinion. I found the Sith Empire storyline, in particular, to be captivating with the world building, history and the character of Scourge to be the highlights of the entire book. Author Drew Karphyshan is one of Legends best, and whilst it doesn’t reach the heights of his incredible Darth Bane trilogy it’s definitely a good time, relatively speaking. If you’re a fan of the games, comics or have a passing interest in the Old Republic then definitely give it a go and make up your own mind. ![]() Separated from any other media it’s an enjoyable Star Wars adventure that has a lot going for it. ![]() Those that haven’t played the games tend to enjoy it a lot more than those that have.

But only death can stop him from trying.Īuthor: Drew Karpyshyn Cover artist: Dominik Mayer Publisher: Del Rey Release date: NovemPages: 298 ISBN: 9780593498934 With no idea what it is, or how to stop it, Revan may very well fail, for he’s never faced a more powerful and diabolic enemy. Somehow he stumbled across a terrible secret that threatens the very existence of the Republic. What exactly happened beyond the Outer Rim? Revan can’t quite remember, yet can’t entirely forget. All that’s left are nightmares-and deep, abiding fear.
