Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from the Dark
Times comic series:
- Issues 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5:
On Coruscant, Darth Vader waits for his Master to reveal his
vision for the future. But is there a plan beyond obtaining
power? On New Plympto, Jedi Master Dass Jennir leads a Nosaurian
army in a war they have already lost. Is this what it now means
to be a Jedi?
Despite his acceptance of the Sith ways, Darth Vader is shocked
to find the Empire and himself complicit in an evil he thought
he had put behind him. A Separatist freedom fighter deals with
the realization that the sacrifice made by his brothers-in-arms
has been for nothing and that their families are paying the
price for their resistance. The crew of a smuggler's ship is
forced to take sides in a conflict they have sought to avoid and
which has already changed the course of all their lives...
Events have led Jedi Dass Jennir and his companion Bomo
Greenbark to the planet Orvax, slave marketplace to the galaxy.
There they face not only danger from the slavers and the Empire,
but they must confront the awful truth that their goal may be
beyond their reach.
Meanwhile, Darth Vader must deal with some unpleasant realities
and memories of his own. Though he is a Dark Lord of the Sith,
even he must bow before the power of the Emperor.
How many bad deeds can be justified by one good deed? In order
to help his friend Bomo Greenbark, Jedi Dass Jennir has been
forced into a series of questionable actions and none is more
potentially destructive than the one he now contemplates.
Or is this the true genius of Palpatine's evil? The Jedi, their
status destroyed and their order broken, must now become outlaws
and lawbreakers in order to do what was once considered their
duty.
The dark times have barely begun, and already Dass Jennir is so
engulfed in darkness, he wonders if he will ever find his way
back!
It's the end of a quest, but not the end of the road. Yet paths
diverge, alliances are split, and doing the right thing has
become a betrayal. The chaos of the Clone Wars and the darkness
of Palpatine's Empire have allowed a smaller, more personal-but
no less deadly-evil to flourish, and confronting it changes
everything.
After all he's done, can Dass Jennir still call himself a Jedi?
After all that has happened, can Bomo Greenbark find the
strength to go on?
