Synopsis:
The Republic is in crisis, torn by plague and
conflict. The Sith roam unchecked, vying with one
another to dominate the galaxy. But one lone Jedi, Kerra
Holt, is determined to take down the Dark Lords -- one
act of sabotage at a time. Her enemies are strange and
many: Lord Daiman, who imagines himself the creator of
the universe; Lord Odion, who intends to be its
destroyer; the curious siblings Quillan and Dromika; the
enigmatic Arkadia. So many warring Sith weaving a
patchwork of brutality -- with only Kerra Holt to defend
the innocents caught underfoot. Sensing a sinister
pattern in the chaos, Kerra embarks on a journey that
will take her to many worlds and into fierce battles
against even fiercer enemies. With one against so many,
her only chance of success lies with forging alliances
among those who serve her enemies -- including a
mysterious Sith spy and a clever mercenary general. But
will they be her adversaries or her salvation?

Review
by Akoss2k, USA, 2011
"This was a well written story by Miller. While already proven
to be a successful comic book author, with Knights
of the Old Republic, he outdoes himself here. The main
character, Kerra Holt, as well as most of the other supporting
characters, is a well thought out fully developed Protagonist.
"The story is accessible, believable, quick paced. While coming
in at just under 400 pgs, I had no problem finishing it in a couple
days. Being well thought out, I would have no problem imagining this
as as stand-alone, non-Star Wars, story. That doesn't mean the Star
Wars universe was tacked on. But, the story focuses on issues easily
relatable. The inclusion of the Star Wars-verse, ensures that it is
one of the better entries into the canon. This isn't a story
focusing on the struggle of the Jedi Vs. Sith, rather it is a
struggle of power and control, featuring the Jedi and Sith. These
are not cardboard characters: everyone has their own personalities
and agendas. Not everything is black or white.
"Millar is one Star Wars author to watch, like Zahn before him.
Star Wars is in good hands: comic or novel format."
