Off the bat, I should say that fans of The Lost Suns should definitely pick up this book, though no prior knowledge is necessary. The fourth novel to tie in with The Old Republic MMORPG, and a direct sequel to the Dark Horse Comics mini-series The Lost Suns, Annihilation continues the adventures of Theron Shan as well as a number of other characters from the game. And if they don't seize their one chance to succeed, they will surely have countless opportunities to die.

Joined by hot-headed smuggler Teff'ith, with whom he has an inexplicable bond, and wise Jedi warrior Gnost-Dural, Darth Karrid's former master, Theron must match wits and weapons with a battle-tested crew of the most cold-blooded dark-side disciples. As a top covert agent for the Republic, he struck a crucial blow against the Empire by exposing and destroying a Sith superweapon arsenal - which makes him the ideal operative for a daring and dangerous mission to end Ascendant Spear's reign of terror. Though the son of a Jedi master, Theron does not wield the Force - but like his renowned mother, the spirit of rebellion is in his blood. Still, Darth Karrid, commander of the fearsome Imperial battle cruiser Ascendant Spear, continues her relentless efforts to achieve total Sith domination of the galaxy.īut Karrid's ruthless determination is more than matched in the steely resolve of Theron Shan, whose unfinished business with the Empire could change the course of the war for good. The Emperor is missing, presumed dead, and an ambitious Sith lord's attempt to seize the throne has ended fatally.
