Star Wars Book of Sith (Reissue): Secrets from the Dark Side

By Daniel Wallace

Unlock the secrets of the dark side of the Force with this bestselling Star Wars Legends in-world handbook of annotated Sith texts from Darth Malgus, Darth Bane, Mother Talzin, Darth Plagueis, and more.

Over the centuries, as Sith Lords rose to power, a select few recorded their philosophies and schemes to seize control of the galaxy in a series of forbidden texts. When they fell, their knowledge vanished. Or so it seemed. . . .

Their writings were secretly passed down among select Sith--and even some Jedi--accumulating revealing annotations and commentary. In his quest for domination, Darth Sidious tracked down what remained of the five fabled dark side texts, and added a sixth text: his own manifesto. Together, these collected writings form the Book of Sith--an immersive in-world volume that explores the history, teachings, and temptations of the dark side of the Force.

The forbidden texts include:

An early history of the Sith from Sorzus Syn, including records of Sith weapons, holocrons, and warbeastsA journal excerpt from Darth Malgus detailing battles against the Old Republic, with depictions of droids, ships, and battle plans.A handwritten text from Darth Plagueis on his experiments to create life and transcend death, complete with diagramsAnd much more, from Mother Talzin, Darth Bane, and Darth Sidious himself Richly illustrated and filled with handwritten notes from powerful Force users such as Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Darth Vader, Darth Sidious, Mace Windu, Ventress, and Quinlan Vos, this deluxe edition offers fans a rare glimpse into the secrets and philosophy of the Sith.
