Product DescriptionA loyal Stormtrooper, thwarted by the very bureaucracy which he serves, struggles to track down a Rebel saboteur on board the Death Star in the days and hours before the fateful Rebel attack. Darth Vader, the sole survivor of the explosion of the Death Star, crash lands on a primitive world where savagery is the key to survival. A young Imperial lieutenant learns all service comes at a price when his small company of Stormtroopers is attacked by thousands of angry aliens. Assassins vow revenge on the man responsible for killing their families - the Dark Lord, Darth Vader. Four compelling tales, all told from the point of view of the major villains of the Star Wars galaxy - the Imperials. But, as these stories show, even the 'bad guys' are no strangers to loyalty, honor, and sacrifice!

Rating: - Good book.
My 40 year old husband really enjoys these book. As a fan of Star Wars, he likes to read all of the various spin off books and he has really enjoyed these.
Rating: - Great art work wasted on unimaginative writing
It's tough being asked to make fantasy Nazi's into regular Joes, or even heroic Joes, so even if I can't work up too much sympathy for the troops that protect the universe by enslaving it, I can image what a nightmare it might have been for some of these writers to get their assignments from Dark Horse. Their charge - convince you that the bad guys, the guys who keep the Emperor's machine running day-to-day, are, well, just like you and me, people with a job to do.
Rating: - Extremely good stories
I've read Dark Empire 1 and 2, Mara Jade: By the Empire's Hand, and the first four Clone Wars trade paperbacks, and this beats all of them. (Though Clone Wars #3 comes close.) Anyways, this volume contains the issues 13 and 14, as well as 16-19, for a total of 6 issues. #15 is in Volume 2. These stories range from great to outstanding, but if you want to read about main characters other than Vader, space battles, or Jedi, than look elsewhere.
Rating: - Star Wars Fans UNITE!
LOL! No seriously though, if you like Star Wars movies at all you'll really like this book. It lets you see a different side of Darth Vader and also lets you see the Empire from a completely different perspective. If you don't buy it, at least go to book store or library and read it. It will change your perspective on the Empire as will the other two books before it.
The people who are the soldiers that we see get blasted on screen aren't that different from you and I (the characters they ... Read More
