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.

Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

Muito bom

Resumo sem spoiler: uma nave misteriosa explode e deixa um artefato que pode impactar a guerra entre os Sith e os Jedi. Ninguém sabe o que é e se realmente é algo útil, mas todos - seja para o bem da República, do Império Sith ou por mera ganância - vão em busca desse artefato: Ula Vii (espião dos Sith), Larin Moxla (ex-soldado e aliada de Shigar), Shigar Konshi (Jedi), Dao Stryver (mandaloriano), Eldon Ax (aprendiz Sith).

Demorei 6 dias para terminar. Teve uma batalha em específico que prejudicou a minha leitura. Pelo fato do autor constamente trocar de perspectiva, a cena dessa batalha se tornou longa demais (para mim) e maçante. Tirando ela, o resto foi ótimo.

O livro apresenta um bom desenvolvimento dos personagens Gostei muito da cena da última batalha. Ela é grandiosa, bem escrita e bem-feita.
