Synopsis
He is born to a poor mother on the planet of Tatooine. He is raised there and is fated to stay there...until he meets a Jedi Master who takes him away to be trained in the ways of the Force. At the Jedi Temple, he flourishes. Great plans are made. But his weakness is his fear of loss. At the moment the Jedi need him most, he turns to the dark side. He becomes the most-feared leader in the Empire. His embrace of evil is complete and completely undone by the return of the heir he never knew he had. This is the saga of Anakin Skywalker,known later inlife as Darth Vader. In one brilliant novel, best-selling Star Wars author Ryder Windham tells the full life story of Anakin/Vader telling the story of each of the six Star Wars episodes completely from Anakin/Vader's viewpoint. A must-have novel for anyone who's ever loved Star Wars.

About the Author
Ryder Windham is the author of over fifty Star Wars books. He was also an editor of Star Wars comics for Dark Horse Comics.

Windham also edited and wrote scripts for Star Wars: Droids released by Dark Horse. Windham worked closely at the time with Allan Kausch and Sue Rostoni at Lucas Licensing to maintain continuity between the comics, books and other Star Wars properties.
