Master of Evil: A Dark New Chapter in Vader’s Story
If you’re like me and can never get enough of the darker corners of Star Wars lore, Master of Evil feels like a story we’ve been waiting for.
Adam Christopher’s Master of Evil drops us into that brutal, uncertain period right after Revenge of the Sith, when Vader is still learning what it truly means to serve the Emperor—and what he’ll sacrifice to chase the dark promises whispered to him. The book follows Vader as he hunts for the ultimate power Palpatine dangles in front of him: the ability to conquer death. From conducting a devastating ritual on Mustafar to bleeding the crystal that will become his lightsaber, Vader catches a terrifying glimpse of the Force’s untapped potential. It’s the kind of raw, mythic Star Wars storytelling that makes you feel those early years in the armor all over again.
As the Emperor sends Vader into the Diso system, accompanied by a squad of scarlet-robed Royal Guards and the enigmatic Colonel Halland Goth, the mystery only deepens. Rumors of a shaman who can raise the dead blur the line between obsession and destiny as Vader spirals deeper into the darkness he once thought would save him. Christopher gives us a Vader who is powerful, yes, but also fractured, restless, and still battling the ghost of Anakin Skywalker. By the end, it becomes painfully clear: this is the road where weakness is burned away, and where Vader truly becomes a master of evil.
