Story4 out of 5 stars 120
On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance—now a fledgling New Republic—presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy’s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy’s strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but he’s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.

Publisher's Summary
Based on unproduced episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, this new novel features Asajj Ventress, former Sith apprentice turned bounty hunter and one of the great antiheroes in Star Wars history.
The only way to bring down the Sith's most dangerous warrior may be to join forces with the dark side.
In the war for control of the galaxy between the armies of the dark side and the Republic, former Jedi Master turned ruthless Sith Lord Count Dooku has grown ever more brutal in his tactics. Despite the powers of the Jedi and the military prowess of their clone army, the sheer number of fatalities is taking a terrible toll. And when Dooku orders the massacre of a flotilla of helpless refugees, the Jedi Council feels it has no choice but to take drastic action: targeting the man responsible for so many war atrocities, Count Dooku himself.
But the ever-elusive Dooku is dangerous prey for even the most skilled hunter. So the Council makes the bold decision to bring both sides of the Force's power to bear - pairing brash Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos with infamous one-time Sith acolyte Asajj Ventress. Though Jedi distrust for the cunning killer who once served at Dooku's side still runs deep, Ventress' hatred for her former master runs deeper. She's more than willing to lend her copious talents as a bounty hunter - and assassin - to Vos' quest.
Together, Ventress and Vos are the best hope for eliminating Dooku - as long as the emerging feelings between them don't compromise their mission. But Ventress is determined to have her retribution and at last let go of her dark Sith past. Balancing the complicated emotions she feels for Vos with the fury of her warrior's spirit, she resolves to claim victory on all fronts - a vow that will be mercilessly tested by her deadly enemy... and her own doubt.
Praise for Dark Disciple:
“Reading Dark Disciple really feels like you’re watching some of the best episodes of The Clone Wars.” (EUCantina)
“Emotionally charged.... Christie Golden does a wonderful job of capturing the characters.” (Roqoo Depot)
“A cool inclusion into the Star Wars mythos.... Ventress and Vos have a cool and compelling dynamic, and are used to explore more of what it means to flirt with the Dark Side of the Force.” (IGN)
“[The Clone Wars have been] a huge part of the Star Wars brand for years, and [Christie] Golden manages to craft a story worthy of the themes and characters that fans have come to relate to.... [She] uses this opportunity to craft Dark Disciple into a spy/espionage thriller.” (Tech Times)
“Golden especially excelled at bringing Ventress’s biting but appealing personality to life.... She’s very much a woman trying to find her way, and Dark Disciple adds nuance.” (Nerdist)
Critic Reviews
“Smart, captivating, and unforgettable...among the finest in Star Wars storytelling.” (Coffee with Kenobi)

Amazing!
Wow, what can I say but THANK YOU CHRISTIE!
I very much enjoyed the small prologue that felt like I was reading the text crawl. I always wanted to know more of Ventress' story and this is the perfect continuation of it. Using little nuggets of moments from The Clone Wars series was really great however even if you haven't watched the series the book is a good book with a great story. With a load of suspense and back and forth with Light Side/Dark Side, I was enthralled with Voss and Ventress' story. I have always been a Ventress fan and this book was amazing. I have so much more I could say but I don't want to spoil the book.
Now, go and buy this book...

Made me feel genuine emotion the whole way through
Let me just give you the short version to begin with.
Buy this book, it’s incredible. Do it.
Alright, now for a tad bit more depth.
I’ll start by letting u know I’m a little bit of a audio book fanatic. I’ve listened to all the SW old republic books, Darth bane series, thrown series (legends tri/duology and new canon) Witcher series, mass effect and probably a third of the Legend Of Drizzt series and many many more.
But this book, this book was incredible. I checked the remaining time on this book so often, not believing that there was still more to come. The writer packs so much content into the book that I’m almost certain it’s witchcraft.
The main characters are very well written and incredibly likeable. I won’t spoil to much but by the end you will have cried more than once.
A few spots in the third quarter of the book a few could have been done a little better and feel a little illogical given everything but also do make some sense given the circumstances. Regardless it frustrated me a bit so I feel it bares mentioning.
Regardless if ur on the fence about buying the book I’d take the plunge, Marc once again delivers a absolutely stellar performance, giving all the characters a scarcely accurate performance to the original actors, and the emotion u can feel in every line delivered is palpable.

This was such a great listen! The story was a roller coaster of emotions! Christie Golden’s words are exquisite in painting the scenes, and Marc Thompson’s narration and voices add another dimension! Loved his Dooku voice! Thanks you to all those who contributed!

Asajj Ventress Rules!
This is such a great story. It’s a shame it wasn’t made into Clone Wars episodes. I’m glad it was released in book form. This audio book is very well read and produced.
Highly recommended!
