Product Description
Don't miss Star Wars: Lost Tribe of The Sith: Paragon a FREE original e-book short story, the third in a series that reveals the untold story of the Fate of the Jedi's forgotten Sith castaways, their battle to survive, and their quest to re-conquer the galaxy! Paragon includes an exclusive excerpt from Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Backlash (Del Rey Hardcover, available March 9th) and offers a unique look into the backstory of events that have begun to unfold in the Fate of the Jedi series. Darkness VisibleThe ruthless cunning of the Sith Order has served the shipwrecked crew of the Omen well on the alien planet Kesh. Subjugating the superstitious Keshiri race by posing as its fabled overlords has ensured the Sith's survival-while they struggle in secret to return to the stars. But after fifteen years on their adopted world, some among the lost tribe have grown restless and fearful that assimilation will consume their Sith heritage. Now, as rival factions begin to appear, a shocking disaster throws into doubt the Sith's future on Kesh. In the distant city of Tetsubal, the entire native populace is suddenly wiped out by a grisly plague of unknown origin. With terrifying speed, more cities succumb to the mysterious contagion. Only the Sith remain unharmed-so far. And as Sith commander Yaru Korsin grapples with the looming loss of the paradise he rules and the race his people have come to depend upon, he must confront the dark possibility that the catastrophe may not be cruel fate but insidious sabotage.

My husband read these but wouldn't read more. EZ reading but doesn't hold up to the originals
 Star Wars Marathon Part 4 July 28, 2010

I recently resolved to read the entire Star Wars novel line in order and decided to include e-book novellas as their story-lines are interrelated and the authors are often the same. I'm going to be reviewing all of the books as I read them. I am not going to bother with plot summaries as they are already provided in the back cover description.
I disliked Paragon for the following reasons:
Style: The style of writing was vague and at times difficult to follow.
Lightsaber Battles: NA
Jedi/Sith Philosophy: NA
Characters:
Ravilan: Slighty more interesting than in the prequels but still quite dull.
Korsin: Once again, for a sith he doesn't have much of a personality. It's clear that he is manipulative and unscrupulous but doesn't evoke much color while demonstrating these traits.
Seelah: This character has become far more interesting and less of an irritant. She is shown to be an impressively ruthless villain and her personality is much more believable.
Paragon earned two stars because the plot of the novella series is fully under way by this issue and is highly entertaining specifically in its mystery and intensity.
Music: I suggest "The Earliest Songbook in England" by Gothic Voices as accompanied listening.
not bad for a free book June 11, 2010

These e-books are good for free books, but something about the way they are written I find them hard to follow at times. Overall though, if you're reading the current Fate of the Jedi story line it's a good tie in that fills in some of the back story of the Sith.
Another fun, short read June 7, 2010

I thought Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith #3: Paragon was as good as Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith #2: Skyborn. A short, entertaining read about the new culture the sith have built on this unknown planet. The native species reactions to this new culture are hinted at as well. A good short story about this new world that they are setting up.

Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith #3: Paragon, by John Jackson Miller
Finally, there's some action in this ebook series! Lost Tribe of the Sith is a series to provide back story for the new Fate of the Jedi books. "Paragon" is the third installment.
All Star Wars fans know that if you leave two Sith in a room only one Sith is going to come out. The same is true of the crashed Sith on Kesh - their numbers are slowly dwindling, cut down by mainly by sabotage.
The native population of Kesh are now the servants of the Sith, most happily serving those they consider the descendants of gods. But Keshiri start dying in droves after some Sith visit their towns - what is the cause? Is it a new mysterious illness, or is there some darker force behind the mass deaths?
"Paragon" is a better story than the previous in the series. Seelah, the wife of the Sith ruler is shaping up to be an interesting character; at first I thought she was spoiled and annoying, but my opinion changed as I read. The author reveals her early life in flashbacks; the flashbacks also give some insight into the early Sith Empire. Readers new to the series should start with book one, "Precipice."
