Dark Disciple is a story that was reportedly being worked on for the Clone Wars animated series before it was canceled, that involved a plan by the Jedi to take out Count Dooku. Thus, the story is set between Episodes II and III. The plan is to team Quinlan Voss with Dooku's former apprentice and Sith acolyte, Asajj Ventress, who has come to hate Dooku. As you can expect, the plan does not go off without a hitch (given that anyone likely to read this knows what Dooku's ultimate fate was), and even though you know going into it, that Dooku will survive, the novel still tells a great story. It is partly a good-versus-evil action story, partly a love story, and partly a story of redemption, both for Voss and Ventress.
Ventress is one of the best new canon characters who was introduced in the Clone Wars series. This continues to develop her character and really rounds out her character arc. It also gives a lot more depth to Voss who was only seen a few times during the Clone Wars series. So, if you liked or loved the series, and especially if you liked the character of Ventress, this is a must-read. Even if you have not seen the series and only read some of the canon novels, I would still categorize this one as a must-read.
