I can think of no lamer plot than what that book puts forth. A meterosexual, knot-top wearing, inferiority complex suffering villian who's only goal is to kill Darth Vader just so he can have the chance to serve as the Emperor's right hand man?
Oh, I don't think so. Most villans have a quest for power, money, or fame. This shrinky little bitch only wants to be "best pals" with the Emperor and feels SOOOOOOO left out. "It's not fair! I wanna be the Emperor's go to guy! Gawd, it's always about Vader, Vader, Vader! Hmph! I'll show them."
Yeah. Pass.
