Storyline Summary
Assassination. Betrayal. Death. These are just some of the things awaiting our small family of heroes. They receive a request to assassinate Emperor Palpatine. Despite numerous ways of doing this, they at first decline. Along the way they discover Kajin Savaros, a powerful child with great force abilities. Jax reluctantly takes on training this young force user, while trying to discover a way to hid Kaj’s abilities from Darth Vader and the Inquisitors.
Subplots involve Rhinann’s continued searching for a link to the force, that he believes is contained in the Bota plant. There is also a traitor in their midst that could destroy everything they have worked for. Will they be able to control Kaj’s abilities? Will the Inquisitorius find Kaj? Will they find the traitor, before Vader and the Emperor find them? Will I-5 discover there is more to life than what it seems?
Novel Review
I really liked this and the others in the series. The characters remind me of the prequel characters when they were in their younger days. Having read about these characters through the Medstar series, Darth Maul, and this series, I’ve grown to really like them, and want to see more of their adventures. One problem with this, as with all #3 in a series books, is it build on previous, so if you haven’t read the other two, you may not know everything going on here. However, if you’ve read the other two, and look forward to finding out what happens, or the answers to the questions I posed, then pick it up. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
