Meer over het boek

Of power, I could tell you much. One must seize the moment, and strike." --Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin He’s the heir of a respected family, a dedicated soldier, and a loyal supporter of the Republic and the Jedi Order. Groomed by a ruthless politician and Sith Lord destined to become Emperor, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin ascends through the Imperial ranks, enforcing his authority with increasing ruthlessness while pursuing his ambition for absolute control. He advises the Emperor to rule through fear of force rather than force itself. Under his direction, a devastating weapon nears completion—the Death Star. Tarkin believes this ultimate weapon will crush the remaining pockets of Separatist rebellion through intimidation or annihilation. However, insurgency poses a real threat. Resistance forces launch escalating guerrilla attacks, and evidence of a growing Separatist conspiracy demands an immediate, brutal response from the Empire. To eliminate a group of elusive freedom fighters, the Emperor enlists his most formidable agents: the fearsome Darth Vader, a remorseless Sith enforcer, and Tarkin, whose tactical brilliance and cold efficiency will secure the Empire’s dominance and extinguish its enemies.
