Just spotted at NJOE by forumer Max Jaybo, the Science Fiction Book Club has posted a synopsis for the Force Unleashed novel, which goes as follows:

“Set in the dark times between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, this stand-alone novel delves deeper into Darth Vader’s history, revealing the origins of his secret Apprentice and Vader’s ultimate plans for him.

Trained from childhood by Vader himself, the Apprentice is ready for the final test: he must hunt down and destroy the last of Vader’s old enemies-the Jedi. Aided by Imperial pilot Juno Eclipse and the droid PROXY, the Apprentice has no qualms obeying his master’s commands-until he has a fateful epiphany that will change everything he knows about who he is…and what he is meant to accomplish.

Shedding new light on events in the Star Wars universe, this exciting novel will rev you up for the action-packed video game!”

It’s a great teaser for the book, so be sure to check it out. The Force Unleashed novel comes out August 19 in all book stores near you!
