Publisher's Summary

BioWare and LucasArts - creators of the hugely popular Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic® video game - have combined their storytelling talents and cutting-edge technology for an innovative new massively multiplayer online role-playing game that allows players to create their own personal Star Wars adventure 3,500 years before the rise of Darth Vader. Now number one New York Times best-selling author Sean Williams brings the world of the game to life in his latest novel, Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance.

Tassaa Bareesh, a matriarch in the Hutt crime cartel, is holding an auction that’s drawing attention from across the galaxy. Representatives of both the Republic and the Sith Empire are present, along with a Jedi Padawan sent to investigate, a disenfranchised trooper drummed out of the Republic’s elite  Blackstar Squad, and a mysterious Mandalorian with a private agenda. But the Republic’s envoy is not what he seems, the Empire’s delegate is a ruthless Sith apprentice, the Jedi Padawan is determined to do the right thing and terrified that he can’t, the trooper hopes to redeem her reputation, and the Mandalorian is somehow managing to keep one step ahead of everyone.

None of these guests - invited or uninvited - have any intention of participating in the auction. Instead they plan to steal the prize, which is locked inside an impregnable vault: Two burned chunks of an exploded star cruiser, one of which may hold the key to the wealth of an entire world.

But the truth about the treasure is dangerous and deadly. And in the end, Sith and Jedi, Republic and Empire, must do something they’ve never done before, something that all the agents of good and evil could never make them do: Join together to stop a powerful threat that could destroy the galaxy.

Critic Reviews

"This novel is tied in to the Star Wars universe at a stage in its history that is still being explored in print fiction, and it is also the prequel to what promises to be the largest, most ambitious electronic role-playing game yet to be spun off of that universe. With so much riding on its shoulders, the book demands an unusual gift for cracking-good space opera, and that Williams possesses in full measure." ( Booklist)

A slow painful ride

First things first.
Marc Thompson is phenomenal as always.
But even he can't polish a turd.
This book is way too long, way too muddled.
The characters are bland, with no personalities, no backstories and leave you with no interest in what happens to them.
Filled with cliche moments and predictable story arcs I found myself driving home actually looking around at the countryside not listening, that's how disengaging this book was.

Save yourself the same pain I did and move this off your wish list or forget it even existed.
You will lose nothing by avoiding this book.

Slow to get into

I found this very hard to get into for a long time. The story did end up getting there but several hours of lead up its not as exciting as most others

Awesome

Loved the story and characters. I'm not sure why there's bad reviews for it? It's definitely worth a listen if you've enjoyed other star wars books such as the Bane Trilogy ect.

A slow read

I found this read very slow and very hard to keep track on what's really going on.
it's ashame cause I haven't played the game and I'm really intrigued on the Old Republic history.
Got about 7 hours in and I haven't had the drive to finish the book.

Everything else is great, but the hard to get into

Amazing for all 13 hours

Was concerned about the length as most Star Wars books and this old republic series are shorter. But was gripped the whole time. All of the old republic books are the goats. Would recommend to anyone considering !
