StarWars.com summaryEdit

Though they weren't originally released as a trilogy, the novels Labyrinth of Evil, Revenge of the Sith, and Dark Lord form a natural story arc that follows Anakin Skywalker's last days as hero of the galaxy and transformation into Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith. Now the movie adaption by Matt Stover and the two flanking tie-in novels by James Luceno are being combined into a trade paperback format that collects all the action, intrigue and drama of the three books into one.^[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

The book was originally going to be titled Omnibus: Rise of Evil with cover art commissioned by well-known artist Steven D. Anderson. The original cover was intended to only show Vader's glove, as a change from the commonly-used headshot. The design was approved by the art director, but eventually overruled for a close up of Vader's helmet.^[2]
