First time in print! Delve into the history of the sinister Count Dooku with the original script of the thrilling audiobook production.

Darth Tyranus. Count of Serenno. Leader of the Separatists. A red saber, unsheathed in the dark. But who was he, before he became the right hand of the Sith? As Dooku courts a new apprentice, the hidden truth of the Sith Lord’s past begins to come to light.

Dooku’s life began as one of privilege—born within the stony walls of his family’s estate, orbited by the Funeral Moon where the bones of his ancestors lie interred. But soon his Jedi abilities are recognized and he is taken from his home to be trained in the ways of the Force by the legendary Master Yoda.

As he hones his power, Dooku rises through the ranks, befriending fellow Jedi Sifo-Dyas and taking a padawan of his own, the promising Qui-Gon Jinn—and tries to forget the life that he once led. But he finds himself drawn by a strange fascination with the Jedi Master Lene Kostana, and the mission she undertakes for the Order: finding and studying ancient relics of the Sith, in preparation for the eventual return of the deadliest enemies the Jedi have ever faced.

Caught between the world of the Jedi, the ancient responsibilities of his lost home, and the alluring power of the relics, Dooku struggles to stay in the light—even as the darkness begins to fall.

Erstmals in Druckform! Taucht ein in die Geschichte des finsteren Count Dooku im Originalskript zu dem spannenden Star Wars-Hörspiel!

Darth Tyranus. Graf von Serenno. Anführer der Separatisten. Ein rotes Lichtschwert, das in der Finsternis gezündet wird. Aber wer war er, bevor er die rechte Hand der Sith wurde? Als Dooku eine neue Schülerin anwirbt, beginnt die verborgene Wahrheit über die Vergangenheit des Sith-Lords ans Licht zu kommen.

Dookus Leben begann mit vielen Privilegien – er wurde innerhalb der Steinmauern des Anwesens seiner Familie geboren, in dessen Orbit sich der Begräbnismond befindet, wo die Knochen seiner Vorfahren begraben liegen. Doch bald werden seine Jedi-Fähigkeiten erkannt und er wird von seinem Zuhause weggebracht, um von dem legendären Meister Yoda in den Wegen der Macht unterwiesen zu werden.

Als er seine Kräfte vervollkommnet, steigt Dooku durch die Ränge auf, freundet sich mit seinem Mit-Jedi Sifo-Dyas an und nimmt selbst einen Padawan an, den vielversprechenden Qui-Gon Jinn – und versucht dabei das Leben zu vergessen, das er einst führte. Aber er entwickelt eine seltsame Faszination für die Jedi-Meisterin Lene Kostana und ihre Mission für den Jedi-Orden: sie findet und studiert uralte Relikte der Sith in Vorbereitung auf die unweigerliche Rückkehr der tödlichsten Feinde, mit denen die Jedi je konfrontiert waren.

Dooku, der zwischen der Welt der Jedi, den uralten Verpflichtungen seiner verlorenen Heimat gegenüber und der verlockenden Macht der Relikte gefangen ist, hat damit zu kämpfen, im Licht zu bleiben – gerade als die Finsternis sich herabzusenken beginnt.

Rey, Poe, Rose and BB-8 are finishing up a simple assignment to retrieve much-needed supplies for the struggling Resistance when they receive a distress call from the planet Minfar. Although they have orders to return to the Resistance immediately, Rey and the others decide they can’t ignore someone in need — especially someone who needs help against the First Order.

When they arrive on Minfar, they are greeted by the Zixon, a peaceful, warm-hearted species who suffered under the Empire and are now at risk of falling to the First Order. Despite being vastly outnumbered by First Order forces, Rey and her friends vow that they will fight to protect the Zixon — or what else does the Resistance stand for? Rey, Poe, Rose and BB-8 will have to face stormtroopers, deadly flying creatures, and even a Star Destroyer to keep Minfar safe and strike a blow against the First Order!

Rey, Poe, Rose und BB-8 beenden gerade einen einfachen Vorratsbeschaffungsauftrag für den ums Überleben ringenden Widerstand, als sie einen Notruf vom Planeten Minfar empfangen. Obwohl ihre Befehle besagen, dass sie umgehend zum Widerstand zurückkehren sollen, beschließen Rey und die anderen, dass sie niemanden in seiner Not ignorieren können – besonders nicht jemanden, der Hilfe gegen die Erste Ordnung benötigt.

Als sie auf Minfar ankommen, werden sie von den Zixon begrüßt, einer friedlichen, warmherzigen Spezies, die unter dem Imperium litt und der nun droht, der Ersten Ordnung zum Opfer zu fallen. Obwohl die Erste Ordnung ihnen zahlenmäßig weit überlegen ist, schwören Rey und ihre Freunde, dass sie darum kämpfen werden, die Zixon zu beschützen – denn wofür sonst steht denn der Widerstand? Rey, Poe, Rose und BB-8 werden sich Sturmtruppen, tödlichen Flugwesen und sogar einem Sternenzerstörer stellen müssen, um Minfar zu beschützen und der Ersten Ordnung einen Schlag zu versetzen!
