Star Wars Novel: Dark Disciple (novel)

As an expansion upon events in STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, Christie Golden‘s new novel Star Wars: Dark Disciple adapts unproduced episodes of the hit animated series into a cracking good volume of fiction that represents the TV show at its most intriguing heights. Focusing on the manufactured and uneasy alliance between two of THE CLONE WARS’ more interesting characters, the fallen Sith assassin Asajj Ventress and the roguish Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos, this novel presents a major would-have-been plot point in the animated series that will likely make fans lament that the episodes were never produced for broadcast. Golden’s breezily paced novel makes a good read in the stead of those unseen episodes, and continues the winning streak of this new era in Star Wars official canon fiction.
