Powers of darkness reign in Dooku: Jedi Lost.

In a long period of tumultuous galactic history, he was many things to many people- an esteemed member of a family dynasty of importance and influence on his home world of Serenno; a widely respected and knowledge-experienced Jedi Knight by both his elders and peers in the Old Republic, and years later a seemingly dedicated and inspiring leader of rebellion and change for the breakaway Confederacy of Independent Systems. But above all else, Count Dooku was born to become evil. Fascinated by evil and what it could accomplish, his was an evil fused with the kind of harnessed power few could ever achieve to such great heights. In those successful aims Dooku soon attracted attention from a hidden part of the galaxy, becoming Darth Tyranus, the second acolyte to the shadowy magnificence of his Sith leader, Darth Sidious, capably emerged from a long self-exile and unleashed to corrupt, control and have the galaxy shaped to their own destinies - their own image of control. But power always breeds superior ambition, especially when you're a Sith...

Now, discover the many complex facets and potential backstory of the superb Prequel Trilogy villain brilliantly played with such damaged panache and hidden veneer by the legendary icon Sir Christopher Lee, in Expanded Universe writer/fan favourite Cavan Scott's assured character epic Dooku: Jedi Lost, now a script transcript book based on his acclaimed audio drama of past and future intrigue, and a tale of how power distorts and corrupts a life.

The erudite but vicious master of the Dark Side: Count Dooku.

Here's the details:

Delve into the history of the sinister Count Dooku in the original script to the thrilling Star Wars audio production!

Darth Tyranus. Count of Serenno. Leader of the Separatists. A red saber, unsheathed in the dark. But who was he before he became the right hand of the Sith? As Dooku courts a new apprentice, the hidden truth of the Sith Lord's past begins to come to light.

Dooku's life began as one of privilege--born within the stony walls of his family's estate, orbited by the Funeral Moon where the bones of his ancestors lie interred. But soon, his Jedi abilities are recognized, and he is taken from his home to be trained in the ways of the Force by the legendary Master Yoda.

As he hones his power, Dooku rises through the ranks, befriending fellow Jedi Sifo-Dyas and taking a Padawan of his own, the promising Qui-Gon Jinn--and tries to forget the life that he once led. But he finds himself drawn by a strange fascination with the Jedi Master Lene Kostana, and the mission she undertakes for the Order: finding and studying ancient relics of the Sith, in preparation for the eventual return of the deadliest enemies the Jedi have ever faced.

Caught between the world of the Jedi, the ancient responsibilities of his lost home, and the alluring power of the relics, Dooku struggles to stay in the light--even as the darkness begins to fall.
