About this audiobook
Delve into the history of the sinister Count Dooku in this audio original set in a galaxy far, far away….
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.

I purchased this because I love Star Wars and I didn't want to miss a character's reasons for turning. I've read all the new canon books and this seemed worthwhile. It is ridiculous to have a text published only as an audio book, and the format is mostly a way to draw out the material of a novella and charge more for it. The acting is melodramatic and none of the voices are even close. My advice is to find a summary of this material, read it, and save yourself 6 hours of tedium.

Terrible. From start to finish it was terrible. Dooku's voice is sooo bad! The worst sounding Dooku ever. The children's voices were so annoying. The story itself is very hard to follow because of the lack of narration. Just a very boring audio that I regretted purchasing after the first 15 minutes. Save your money and buy Master and Apprentice or Thrawn. Heck, any of the other Star Wars audios are far better.

I feel that this was a fine production, but there are things that hamper it. The first is that some voices for big ticket characters are off, especially Dooku. I almost quit it solely because of Dooku's voice. Otherwise, the story is good. I do feel that this doesn't mesh well with Dooku's timing of leaving the Jedi Order. Perhaps I would need it explained to me better, but the story should have done it. I feel that these can be nit picks, but I am also willing to accept a lot in my fiction. Overall, it is fine, and I would not discourage a person from listening. Most people would enjoy it.
