Book Description
Throughout the galaxy, it was believed that Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalkerthe Chosen Onehad died on Coruscant during the siege of the Jedi Temple. And, to some extent, that was true. Anakin was dead.

From the site of Anakin Skywalkers last standon the molten surface of the planet Mustafar, where he sought to destroy his friend and former master, Obi-Wan Kenobia fearsome specter in black has risen. Once the most powerful Knight ever known to the Jedi Order, he is now a disciple of the dark side, a lord of the dreaded Sith, and the avenging right hand of the galaxys ruthless new Emperor. Seduced, deranged, and destroyed by the machinations of the Dark Lord Sidious, Anakin Skywalker is dead . . . and Darth Vader lives.

Word of the events that created himthe Jedi Councils failed mutiny against Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the self-crowned Emperors retaliatory command to exterminate the Jedi Order, and Anakins massacre of his comrades and Masters in the Jedi Templehas yet to reach all quarters. On the Outer Rim world of Murkhana, Jedi Masters Roan Shryne and Bol Chatak and Padawan Olee Starstone are leading a charge on a Separatist stronghold, unaware that the tide, red with Jedi blood, has turned suddenly against them.

When the three narrowly elude executionand become the desperate prey in a hunt across spaceits neither clone soldiers, nor the newly deployed stormtroopers, nor even the wrath of the power-hungry Emperor himself they must fear most. The deadliest threat rests in the hideously swift and lethal crimson lightsaber of Darth Vaderbehind whose brooding mask lies a shattered heart, a poisoned soul, and a cunning, twisted mind hell-bent on vengeance.

For the handful of scattered Jedi, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy somehow, someday reclaimed. Yet more important still is the well-being of the twin infants, Leia and Luke Skywalker, the children of Anakin and his doomed bride, Padm Amidala. Separated after Padms death, they must be made safe at all costs, lest the hope they represent for the future be turned to horror by the new Sith regimeand the unspeakable power of the dark side.

OOoo a new book for the collection. I enjoyed the Darth Maul book a lot, it was nice to get more insight on how he thought and just how badass he was...still mad he went out like he did.

Me either...well except for Truce at Bakura. I made it halfway through that. Isn't that interesting? I don't know why nothing else interested me. Well, I'm not a big reader really.

That is good. That's been out for around 6 months. He is about to come out with a new one called "Outbound Flight". Where you get the details of what happened during that whole mission.

They never tell you if any of the jedi survive. They always kinda walk around it when he ask's if his sister is still alive they just kind of change the subject.

I've read all of them and right now I'm reading Dark Nest 2: The Unseen Queen.

As for this book I'll probably pick it up and check it out but from what I've read in some of the other books. I want to see how they handle something I've read from the other books. I believe in the X-Wing serries it was stated that the Emporer put out propaganda that said that Vader was the only good jedi and that he stood by his side against the jedi. interested if they acknowledge that small passage.

Survivor's quest was the biggest disappointment I've gotten a hold of.

Zahn has done excellent work..and left so many mysteries open for future authors to finish...

Zahn was hired to write Surviors Quest and Outbound Flight at the same time so I think he just wanted to save all the answers for Outbound Flight instead of showing us all his cards up front then leave little surprises for the next book.

I REALLY hope you're right, bro. Survivor's Quest really hurt my opinion of the EU post RotJ.
