In addition to the various references to my previous story, Alliance, I have also inserted a few excerpts to provide assistance to this story. For those interested in reading Alliance, the link is in the summary above.

I've taken the liberty of giving many, but not all, of the characters faces [of actors]. I've done this because it helps the reader visualize the character a little better. Here's the cast:

  • Regular SW characters (Obi, Bail, Anakin, Padmé, etc) are portrayed by their respective actors likeness in the SW Saga, to include Shannon McRandle as Mara Jade.

  • OC's:

  • Sakoya Jade = Dina Meyer (as in Starship Troopers)
  • Xar'ek Tinsir = Val Kilmer (from his Top Gun days)
  • Cela Sinatt = modeled after a few teenagers I know
  • Reynard Sindre = Jeremy Irons
  • Vaarn Nurgh = Yul Brenner (yes, an old but classic actor)
  • Rheu Skeutrn = Dean Cain (from his Superman days)
  • Garen Qeenet = Matt Damon
  • Regan Sile = Tia Carrere (True Lies, Relic Hunter)
  • Yurrn & Irgan Uyllt = (loosely based on Luis & Miguel Rico from Crocodile Dundee II)
  •  

    Born into freedom only to be raised as a slave, Mara Jade – also known as the Emperor’s Hand – had done the bidding of her master, Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious for as long as she could remember. Now it was a time of turmoil and distrust for the young, fiery haired woman. Her mentor was dead and she not only felt lost but craved vengeance. However, such matters are not to be casually rushed into. They require planning and effort in order to succeed. Therefore, Mara integrated herself with Talon Karrde’s smuggling operation and ultimately found herself face to face with a past she never knew.

     

    For Sakoya and Obi-Wan, turbulence soon assimilates itself into their new life together, shrouding itself in mystery and intrigue. The Jedi Trials never prepared them for this...

     

    Lives become intertwined, albeit not willingly and survival depends on forgiveness – or does it? Will revenge and hatred overcome acceptance and love? How far will one person go to save another soul? Can light overcome dark?

     

    Within these pages you may…or may not…find the answers you seek.

     

     

    And now, Whispers in the Dark…
