Más información sobre el libro

The turning point for the entire Star Wars saga is at hand. After years of civil war, the Separatists have pushed the already faltering Republic to the brink of collapse. On Coruscant, the Senate anxiously observes as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine aggressively strips away constitutional liberties in the name of safeguarding the Republic. Yoda, Mace Windu, and their fellow Masters grapple with the Chancellor's disturbing move to assume control of the Jedi Council. Meanwhile, Anakin Skywalker, the prophesied Chosen One destined to bring balance to the Force, is increasingly consumed by fear for his secret love, Senator Padmé Amidala. As combat escalates across the galaxy, the stage is set for an explosive climax: Obi-Wan embarks on a perilous mission to eliminate the Separatist military leader, General Grievous. Palpatine seeks greater control, subtly influencing public opinion against the Jedi. A conflicted Anakin, tormented by ominous visions, edges closer to a galaxy-altering decision. It remains for Darth Sidious, whose shadow looms larger, to deliver the final staggering blow against the Republic and to ordain a new Sith Lord: Darth Vader. This novel, based on the screenplay of the final film in George Lucas's epic saga, captures the iconic characters and action in stunning style.
