I really liked this book and so will the star wars fans who are curious about the background of Tarkin, his relationship with Darth Vader, his history and how he became an important character in the making of the Empire. I really love this kind of books. They are a great complement to the saga movies because they show you how and why so many thing were done. Is like a behind the scenes. Although I had to read the first 20% of the book before it started to get interesting.
