Dooku: Jedi Lost

Cavan Scott — 2019

Delve into the history of the sinister Count Dooku in the original script to the thrilling Star Wars audio production! 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.

Es interesante para ampliar y entender un montón a los personajes que vemos en la saga principal. Incluso conocemos más a algunos que solo escuchamos de nombre. Si eres fanático de la saga, aporta bastante y lo recomiendo.

Amazing! This may very well be the best audiobook I have ever listened to. Besides the amazing cast, which was great to say the least and spot on for the characters we know and love, it's full of sound fx, music, background sounds and the whole feeling of being there in every scene. If you want to read this one, be warned, the book is a script book, not a novel, so, you'd be better off listening the audiobook, you will definitely enjoy it a 100 times better, and this is coming from someone who always prefers the book from the audiobook, but this is not the case here as the story was meant to be an audiobook. The story was great, loved young Dooku and liked him with his apprentices as well. I liked Asajj too and every little thing that made it Star Wars was great, from the easter eggs the mentions, locations, namedrops, everything. Great, fun story, especially if you're listening to it chronologically!

I found this quite a slow read. I did enjoy learning more about Ventress and her time with Dooku, but overall I had a difficult time staying in the story. Still worth a read, but not my favorite. Side note: the audio drama is super fun though!

I thought this book like many other Star Wars books adds so much to the franchise and adds so much to other content that is out. This book in particular talks a lot about the inner workings of the Jedi before prequel trilogy and Count Dooku and what caused him to take the route he did. Recommended for anyone looking to learn more about the Star Wars series

Listening to this was the best decision I could have made. I've been working my way through everything in the current canon the last two years and this was easily a top read for me.

Reading this has given me a lot of insight into Dukoo‘s life and even his position in the Star Wars galaxy. It gives so much amazing back story to the whole Star Wars saga; the Jedi arrogance of thinking they're fine. It would be really interesting to have someone read this who has never seen Star Wars. Honestly, it has a lot of inside knowledge. This book was my first Star Wars book I have read and I really enjoyed it.
