We follow the journey of Halland Goth, Commander of the Imperial Royal Guard, as he accompanies Darth Vader on a mission to investigate a mystery in the Force in Adam Christopher’s Master of Evil.
It is time to dip our toes into a Star Wars story that wades into the dark side of the Force. Adam Christopher’s Master of Evil weaves a tale of dark side intrigue as Darth Vader seeks the power of a lost temple at the behest of the Emperor in the days following Order 66 and the rise of the Empire. However, the Emperor didn’t turn Vader loose on his own. Instead, he attached his Imperial Guard and Commander Halland Goth to Vader’s service. It is through Goth that the reader peers into the early days of Anakin as Darth Vader, and we are covering the story here on Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall, non-spoiler thoughts on this novel from Adam Christopher,
- How and why the book features Halland Goth and his droid, TC-99, despite being about Darth Vader,
- The time and setting of this novel and a surprise prologue featuring Count Dooku,
- What remains of the Techno Union and the Tactical Droid Sarnath, and
- Thoughts on the conclusion of this
