About this ebook

Since evil Emperor Palpatine destroyed the Jedi Knights and seized power, his reign has been absolute. He controls the Senate. He controls the Imperial Army. He controls the galaxy. He is a Sith. And now, for mysterious reasons, he wants to control Ferus Olin, ex-Padawan. Ferus does not want to aid the Empire in any way. But when the Emperor threatens the lives of the people closest to him, Ferus doesn't have a choice. He agrees to go on a secret mission for Palpatine - to become a double-agent - and somehow keep his allegiance to the fallen Jedi Order. Can he succeed? Or are the Emperor and his henchman Darth Vader too powerful to overcome?

Ratings and reviews

Every time I read the names Obi Wan, Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, I'm transported back to the end of the Clone Wars. The Revenge of the Sith. Jude Watson effectively brings to life the time shortly after order 66, when all hope was not yet lost. When there was still light side left in the Galaxy and a few Jedi willing to sacrifice all, even their very lives, to sow the seeds of rebellion into the hearts of the people. Ferrus Olin illuminates our need for freedom & justice!

Book was good but way too short for the money spent.
