A lone Jedi seeks to battle a Sith Empire in Sith Space in this action packed novel, bursting with all types of Sith Lords.
Plot: After her master, Vannar Treece, was impaled by Lord Odion on Chelloa, Kerra Holt ends up alone, trapped in Sith space. She ends up hiding on Darkknell, the capital world of the Daimanate, Ruled by the Sith Lord, Lord Daiman (naturally).
While trying to sabotage a giant think tank ship at the battle of Gazzari and saving the students, Kerra gets wrapped up in inner Sith lord feuding between Daiman & Odion that forces her to band with a mercenary for hire named Jarrow Rusher, and his band of artillery squads aboard his ship, Diligence. She convinces Rusher to try and find a new home planet for the student refugees outside of the Sith struggle.
They land on a planet called Byllura, where the population is all too orderly. Eventually Kerra finds out she has landed on a planet controlled by the Dierarchy, two Sith Lords named Quillan & Dromika who have enslaved the planet using force persuasion. Kerra manages to capture Quillan and escape the planet, only to be captures by another Sith Lord named Arkadia Calimondra.
The whole brigade is taken to the Arkadianate capital of Syned. Arkadia tries to recruit Kerra to assassinate the head of all the Sith Lords, and Arkadia's grandmother.. This is where Kerra learns about the Second Charge Matrica , and how all the Sith Lords are grandchildren fighting for their grandmother's attention.
In the end, Kerra will be forced to choose between saving many or saving a few in the grand scheme.

Review: The Sith struggle is something John Jackson Miller is proficient in telling, and this novel is no exception. The massive Sith feuds and the constant planet change really stretched this novel out into an epic tale, worthy of the Star Wars franchise. The only drawback is that the author focuses on developing the Sith characters far more than Kerra or Rusher.
