Further Comments...
This book is a New York Times Bestseller.

This was recommended to me by a friend who was a fellow science fiction fan. The hook that he described for me was that the relationship between Darth Vader and Prince Xizor was really interesting in the book. They basically send assassins to attempt to murder the other one for the sole purpose of annoying their rival.

One example was Xizor sending an assassin after Darth Vader. The assassin was clearly way out of his league that Darth Vader didn't even need to draw his lightsaber / use his force powers to take him out. He just fought the character unarmed.

It convinced me to read through this story and it was well worth it.
