Lords of the Sith exists as a complete, unedited audio rendition of the canon novel bearing the same title, penned by Paul S. Kemp. Jonathan Davis lent his voice to the audiobook performance, which debuted on April 28, 2015.
"Lord Vader, it would seem your suspicions were correct. We are, in fact, being hunted."
The identity of Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight, is now a thing of the past. Darth Vader, the newly christened Sith Lord, is on the rise. The Emperor's chosen apprentice has quickly demonstrated his dedication to the dark side. However, Sith Order history is filled with treachery, double-dealing, and students violently overthrowing their teachers—and Vader's true loyalty remains to be proven. That time has come.
Ryloth, a planet of vital importance to the expanding Empire as a source of both slave labor and the drug "spice," is experiencing an upsurge in aggressive resistance, spearheaded by Cham Syndulla, an idealistic fighter for freedom, and Isval, a former slave seeking vengeance. But Emperor Palpatine intends to maintain control over this contested world and its valuable resources—through political means or brute force—and he will not allow himself to be either intimidated or denied. He embarks on a rare, personal journey, accompanied by his pitiless disciple, Darth Vader, to ensure his will is carried out.
For Syndulla and Isval, this presents an opportunity to strike a blow against the very core of the merciless dictatorship engulfing the galaxy. And for the Emperor and Darth Vader, Ryloth evolves into something far greater than simply suppressing an insurrection: When an ambush results in their crash landing on the planet, amidst unforgiving terrain and a waiting army of resistance fighters, their relationship will be tested to its absolute limit. Armed only with their lightsabers, the dark side of the Force, and their reliance on one another, the two Sith must determine whether the brutal connection they share will forge them into victorious allies or turn them into deadly adversaries.
Random House Audio released the audiobook, featuring narration by Jonathan Davis, on April 28, 2015. Kevin Thomsen took on the roles of producer and director, with Aaron Blank serving as the executive producer.
