Malevolent dark forces are on the rise yet again. On one end we have young nobility from Empress Teta system forming the brotherhood of darkness - Krath - and taking over power in system. Their goal is non other than conquering of the republic for the pure joy of sadistic rampage across stars and their spiritual leader is none other than Freedon Nadd.
On other end we have powerful Jedi Exar Kun getting seduced by the tales of Dark Jedi's and their conquests. Dismissed by Jedi masters who sense great danger in him he will seek the mysteries of the Sith and find much more than he bargained for.
And then we have Jedi's, mighty protectors of the Republic. Unlike Jedi from the modern era, Jedi's of the old were much more rational when it show more comes to the handling Force wielders that seek glory and power. Masters are there to provide council and guidance but if knight decides to follow the treacherous path of the Dark Side he is left to his own devices. Knight needs to decide where his true allegiance lies - one cannot escape his own desires.
And this is exactly what happens to Ulic Qel-Droma. Driven by need to fight Dark Side at any place he will fall under the influence of the Krath society and soon find himself fighting alongside Exar Kun as they unleash all-out war against the Republic and Jedi.
This is epic story, full of legendary Jedi's fighting equally legendary Dark Jedi's and Sith Lords. As casualties start to grow it is left to be seen how will Republic recover and will the blight of the Dark Side finally be put under control.
Art is wonderful in the first three quarters of the book. Panels of the Jedi assembly on Deneb and battles with Krath war droids are truly amazing. Last quarter is standard action comic drawing of the 90's, it did not ruin the experience for me but when compared to the rest of the book differences were more than obvious.
