Publisher's summary[]

THE PUNISHMENT!

DARTH VADER failed to turn his son, Luke Skywalker, to the dark side of the Force.
No…Luke was too weak to join his father in overthrowing EMPEROR PALPATINE.
Vader sought revenge against those who hid Luke from him for all of these years…
and in doing so nearly betrayed his master.
It did not go unnoticed by Palpatine… time for Vader's next lesson.

Plot summary[]

INTO THE FIRE
Part I: THE PUNISHMENT

Darth Vader revealed the truth: He is
Luke Skywalker's father. But Luke
refused Vader's call to the dark side of
the Force and escaped.

Enraged, Vader tore through the galaxy
on a quest of revenge against everyone
who hid Luke from him. Now he finally
understands the truth about the death
of Padmé, the wife of the man Vader
used to be.

And Vader's master, Emperor Palpatine,
is not pleased with Vader's rebellion....
