See my previous entry about this title.  The trade paperback follows the same storyline with minor differences.  In the trade paperback, the story is told after the fact.  Juno Eclipse and Senator Bail Organa learn how the agent Starkiller was the one who started the Rebellion against the Empire.

Review:

Dark Horse continues the Knights of the Old Republic series with Padawn Zayne Carrick attempting to redeem himself of what he is not, a murderer.  However, his luck continues to be bad.  Leaving Taris, he is captured by Republic forces on their way to a meeting with an industralist, Lord Arkoh, who posesses a weapon that could destroy the universe.  Of course, it only gets worse for him, as he runs into his former master, Lucien.  In this tough situation, the young Padawn will have to team up with his former master to save his friends and the Republic from this threat.  But as he works himself out of this jam, he comes full circle, by returning to where it all started, Taris, to save his friend, Gryph.  Of course, in returning, he is accused of starting the whole fight on the planet .  And luck continues to be back as he meets another Jedi Master Raana Tey who has her own personal interest at stake.  Questions of whether Zayne has fallen into a dark spell are examined but one can wonder whether if he might be light in the darkness of this chaos.
