Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith collects several E-Novellas in book form, including the finale story. The stories focus on a group of Sith during the time of Naga Sadow who crash their starship carrying a load of Force crystals on a planet still in the feudal stages. The Sith portray themselves as gods and take over the planet in one fell swoop. Most of the stories deal with different the different ages on this planet and how the Sith are affecting it. While the book is entertaining, it could have benefitted from each of the stories being expanded upon...As soon as you start getting to know one set of characters, we shift ahead a millennium or two. Admittedly, these were originally novellas and the book was made to reach out to people who won't buy downloadable literature. The inconsistency made it a little hard to really get into...But at the same time leaves you free to read each individual story and not having to rush into each new story. Not sure that's a good thing, though. If you're a fan of time-spanning epics that move briskly through the characters and focus more on the land or world it's portraying, say, Centennial, you'll probably like this. Star Wars fans, beware...While it's Sci-Fi, it's not your typical Star Wars novel.
