Product Description
Twenty-five years ago the survivors of the marooned Sith ship Omen bloodlessly conquered the native population of the remote planet Kesh, installing themselves as overlords and transforming the primitive Keshiri civilization into a new Sith society. Letting nothing stand in his way-including his own brother-s life-Omen commander-turned-Grand Lord Yaru Korsin has ruled unopposed ever since. But now his days, and those of the ruthless Sith order on Kesh, may be numbered.Revolt-and revenge-have been brewing in the hearts of the two women closest to Korsin. One is Adari Vaal, the once-outcast Keshiri who rescued the stranded Sith, aided their domination of Kesh, and now leads the secret resistance against them. The other is Seelah, wife of Korsin, widow of his murdered brother, and mastermind of the plot to assassinate the Grand Lord and seize power. But have the comforts of a king and his own arrogance blunted Korsin-s cunning Sith instincts? Or is he ready to deal swiftly and mercilessly with treachery from any quarter? Enemies themselves, Adari and Seelah are unaware of each other-s destiny-altering gambits. They only know that there can be no turning back-and no escaping the consequences if they fail.

 Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith #4: Savior September 7, 2010
Jimmy J. Shaw (Cheyenne, Wyoming)
An excellent read for Star Wars fans, of which I am. I hope that one day all four of these will be available grouped together in hardcover format as well as those Star Wars books that are only currently available in an E-book format. But outstanding and enjoyed it from start to finish!!!
 Just wish installments were longer August 29, 2010

Well written. Continues the story. Recommend reading first three installments before starting #4.

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 Savior for the following reasons:
Style: The style of writing was vague and at times difficult to follow.
Lightsaber Battles: There was a lightsaber battle which wasn't even described. We were merely informed of the results.
Jedi/Sith Philosophy: NA
Characters:
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. Due to the stlye, however, the character is not all that believable.
Adari: Quite dull and doesn't have much personality.
Jariad: Reminds me of Devore from Precipice (his father) and is thus a source of irritation
Savior earned two stars because the plot of the novella series is fully under way by this issue and is highly entertaining with a dramatic premise.
Music: I suggest "The Earliest Songbook in England" by Gothic Voices as accompanied listening.
I would not recommend this series even for Star Wars fans unless they are fans specifically of the novels.
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.
 A frustratingly slow, but (hopefully) improving series. June 10, 2010

After three mediocre attempts, Jackson finally delivers a decent story in this ongoing series. Savior is the first of the 4 Lost Tribe of the Sith short stories that engaged me as a reader. For the first time since I started this series, I actually want to know where it is going. It's clear Jackson does indeed have a story to tell, even though I still question if I care enough to wait for that story to be told. I am hopeful and optimistic that the rest of the series will live up to the initial hype and take us to that galaxy far, far away. Not great by any stretch of the imagination. But finally a start. 3 stars.
