Why this must be read:
Although Darth Vader appears in just one scene of this story, his presence is felt throughout. Indeed, this story's focus is Darth Vader. It is told from the point of view of a Jedi Padawan who survived the purges. Poulin Brith (the POV character) has spent half his life in hiding, and suddenly he is compelled, for reasons he does not understand, to seek out Darth Vader. Brith is one of the few in the galaxy who knows Darth Vader's true identity. He once considered Anakin Skywalker his brother when they were both Jedi. How can he find Vader now, and what should he do once he does?
This story is set between Star Wars: A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. It fits into canon seamlessly, and the Vader characterization is absolutely perfect. Geo3 makes us care about the OC without departing from canon or detracting from the canon characters. Vader's appearance is brief, but he is the central character in the narrative. Highly recommended.

Finding Darth Vader is a lot harder than most people might think.
Not that anyone in his right mind would want to attract the Dark Lord's notice. In fact, most sentient beings in the galaxy want to avoid it at all costs. Vader serves as the universal fiend of the Empire -- the supernatural creature that is said to be everywhere and anywhere, and from whom no one feels safe.
His is the dark shape that people expect to see when they look over their shoulders at night.
He is the demon that parents conjure to frighten their children into behaving.
Throughout the galaxy so many incidents, so many events are attributed to Vader personally that he would have to be omnipotent to be behind them all. And many believe that he is. The idea of Vader, as much as the actual man -- if he is still a man -- darkens the galaxy from one side to the other.
But actually finding him? That's another story entirely. No matter what the galaxy's populace believes, the odds are very small that someone like Vader would pay the slightest attention to any old insignificant speck of life in the galaxy.
