Overview

Don't miss STAR WARS: LOST TRIBE OF THE SITH: PRECIPICE a FREE original e-book short story, the first in a series that tell the untold story of the FATE OF THE JEDI's forgotten Sith castaways, their battle to survive, and their quest to re-conquer the galaxy! PRECIPICE includes an exclusive excerpt from STAR WARS: FATE OF THE JEDI: OMEN (Del Rey Hardcover, available June 23rd) and offers a unique look into the backstory of events that will begin to unfold in OMEN.

SURVIVAL--NOT SURRENDER

For the ruthless Sith Order, failure is not an option. It is an offense punishable by death--and a fate to which Commander Yaru Korsin will not succumb. But on a crucial run to deliver troops and precious crystals to a combat hotspot in the Sith's war against the Republic, Korsin and the crew of the mining ship Omen are ambushed by a Jedi starfighter. And when the Sith craft crash-lands, torn and crippled, on a desolate alien planet, the hard-bitten captain finds himself at odds with desperate survivors on the brink of mutiny--and his own vengeful half brother, who's bent on seizing command.

No matter the cost, Korsin vows that it will not be his blood and bones left behind on this unknown world. For the way of the Sith leaves little room for compromise--and none for mercy.

  • 2 stars out of 5Too short and incomplete

    Posted June 13, 2009 by Michael, Georgetown

    Rather than being a short novel, this really seems more like an excerpt from a novel where these few chapters have been taken out of a bigger novel. It is very difficult to empathize with characters who are not well developed in the available space and there really are too many characters for such a short length. There is also no apparent rhyme or reason for most events and we just have to accept what is happening. Since there is so little space, the full back story cannot be told. At the end we are left hanging as to what these isolated Sith will do.

    A fair read and good value for the money (it's free), but the novellette raises too many unanswered questions and develops the characters too little.

    The book was OK, but not great. It was designed to wet your appetite for the full series. I'm anxious to see what happens next and will definitely buy the next book.

  • 2 stars out of 5More than a prologue...less than a short story

    Posted July 12, 2009 by Initial_G, Fresno, CA

    This "short story" made for a decent introduction for the new series/book STAR WARS: FATE OF THE JEDI : OMEN. Although SW: Lost Tibe of Sith #1: Precipice is comprised of four chapters, three of these chapters could have easily been combined to form Chapter 1.

    The final chapter of this book was simply an excerpt of about 20-ish pages from the upcoming book, OMEN.

    I did find myself wanting to continue reading the storyline. However, from the initial reviews that I have read, the new book is only about 275 pages making it very short for the price. I think I'll wait until it becomes discounted.
