Force Unleashed II, The (Star Wars Legends)

by Sean Williams Narrated by Jonathan Davis, Marc Thompson

Overview

The dark side could not seduce him. The Empire could not control him. Death could not defeat him. And now, nothing can stop him from seizing his destiny.

As ruthless apprentice to Darth Vader, Starkiller was mercilessly schooled in the ways of the dark side, commanded to exterminate the last of the purged Jedi Order, and groomed for the ultimate Sith power play: assassination of the Emperor. He served without question, killed without remorse, and lost his heart without warning to beautiful Imperial fighter pilot Juno Eclipse, never suspecting that he was just a tool in the schemes of his masters-until it was too late to escape their lethal betrayal.

Juno mourned Starkiller as dead . . . but now he is back, purged of all memories and programmed to kill. And as fate brings Juno and Starkiller closer to reuniting, with Darth Vader determined not to lose his assassin a second time, they will both have to make a stand. The prize is freedom. The punishment for failing will be eternal enslavement to the dark side of the Force. . . .

Editorial Reviews

JANUARY 2011 - AudioFile

Seven months after the events of THE FORCE UNLEASHED, and a year before Star Wars Episode IV, Darth Vader's secret apprentice is back with a vengeance as he goes on a quest to rediscover his identity. The author has woven an intricate web of emotion and suspense that makes listeners feel as if they’re in the minds of the characters. Narrator Jonathan Davis continues the familiar pacing and intonations of the principals with his engaging voice, in particular portraying Yoda and Boba Fett as listeners have never heard them before. The ending may be the most surprising and controversial of any Star Wars novel. Davis’s narration, along with the customary sound effects and music, makes this an engrossing listening experience.
