Představte si, že by se jednoho dne každému z nás zjevil džin s tím, že nám splní přání. Ne tři jako v pohádce, ale jedno. Jak by takové přání ovlivnilo ostatní lidi a svět? Přemýšleli byste o tom vůbec? A byl by takový svět ještě k žití? Charles Soule se nad tím v této chytře napsané knize hravě zamýšlí a jak je jeho zvykem, tak se nevyhýbá ani temnějším linkám. Odpočet začíná na osmi miliardách lidí a osmi miliardách přání. Co si budete přát?
Klonové války skončily a Jediové byli poraženi. Anakin Skywalker zradil řád Jedi a po souboji s Obi-Wanem Kenobim byl na Mustafaru ponechán napospas smrti. Císař však potřebuje věrného učedníka, který se vydá na temnou stranu Síly, a tak se z Anakina stává sithský lord Darth Vader. Uzavřen v kybernetické zbroji, která ho udržuje naživu, čelí první zkoušce: musí získat krystal z jediského meče, než bude moci nosit rudou čepel. Vader se vydává na říční měsíc Al’doleemu, kde se utká s Jediem, jenž v ústraní zdokonaloval své bojové dovednosti. Tento souboj na život a na smrt je klíčový pro jeho další úkol: pronásledování posledních Jediů v galaxii, kteří unikli Čistce. Obsahuje příběhy: "Vyvolený" (The Chosen One, #1-6), "Světlo pohasíná" (The Dying Light, #1-4) a "Pravidlo pěti" (The Rule of Five, #1-2). Dále zahrnuje dvě původně samostatné alba a sešity série Star Wars - Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith #1-12, vydávané od června 2017 do února 2018.
Darth Vader, mocný sithský učedník císaře Palpatina, nelítostně pronásleduje poslední přeživší Jedie, kteří by mohli ohrozit vládu velkého Galaktického impéria. Na rozkaz svého mistra se Vader spolu s inkvizitory vydává na vodní svět Mon Cala, aby zde pátral po skrytém nepříteli, který na planetě podněcuje vzdor vůči Novému řádu. Jedi stojící v pozadí tohoto odporu musí být zlikvidován za každou cenu a jiskra rebelie na Mon Cale zadušena v zárodku… Po odhalení zrádců v samotném srdci Inkvizitoria se Vader znovu vrací na Mustafar. Na sopečné planetě, z jejíhož popela povstal, bude čelit ozvěnám minulosti a započne s budováním své pevnosti, velkolepého díla temné strany Síly, jež se zrodilo v mysli pradávného sithského lorda Dartha Momina…
Čerstvě zvolený prezident Stephen Blades doufal, že se během svého mandátu vypořádá s nejkritičtějšími problémy, kterým jeho národ čelí: válkami, ekonomikou a selhávajícím systémem zdravotní péče. Z dopisu, který mu napsal odstupující prezident, se však Blades dozvídá o problému, který dává slovu „kritický“ úplně nový rozměr – před sedmi lety objevila NASA přítomnost mimozemšťanů v pásu asteroidů a zatajila ji před světem. K navázání kontaktu a zjištění úmyslů mimozemských návštěvníků byla vyslána tajná mise s devíti astronauty na palubě, kteří se nyní blíží k místu setkání. Prezident Blades se mezitím sice stává nejmocnějším mužem světa, ale jen toho našeho.
„Tak vy chcete vidět kouzlo?“ Do našeho světa je vyslán zlý čaroděj, který má za úkol jej zničit. Jenže Země skýtá mnohá potěšení a kouzla se dají snadno vydávat téměř za zázraky. A tak si náš čaroděj řekne, že Zemi nezničí, ale že by na ní mohl být hrdinou. Že se při tom vzepře svému pánovi a přivolá na sebe jeho hněv? A co? Jen ať si pro něj přijdou. Tak začíná náš příběh, ve kterém Charles Soule protáhne našeho hrdinu rozmáchlým, místy humorným, místy zatraceně temným dobrodružstvím, které vás přiměje fandit záporákům, smát se nad katastrofou a k tomu všemu vás ještě dojmout onou kletbou. A že je to jízda!
