Plot:
Pantheon takes place 2,000 years after Omen crashed. The Sith are all but lost in their ways. There is complete turmoil. Different sects are at war with each other, but one day every 25 years every Sith gets together to celebrate their origins in the stars by listening to a recording of the founders. This year is special. It lands on the same year as the daughter of Korrin's birth. That makes it doubly good. Something different happens this year that has never happened before.This year they discover something that was hidden for 2,000 years. This secret will shake everything that the Sith community was based around.
Characterization:
Hilts is just an ordinary Sith. He is the caretaker of the records, so he is very educated on Sith history. He is the one who shows the recordings. He is one of the only people safe from all of the wars because he is a needed person in the society. When it comes time to show the recording, however, one group threatens his life. He now has to do everything he can in order to save the Sith order, as well as himself. It is he that discovers the hidden message.
Audience:
I would recommend this book to teenagers and older as some of the material is hard to grasp. I would recommend this book to Star Wars fans as well as fans of science fiction because there are a lot of fictional aspects in this book such as space travel and futuristic technology. Both genders will be able to enjoy this book equally. However, if you are not a fan of science fiction do not read this book. You will be bored out of your mind because of all of the science involved. Likewise if you are not of a high reading level the content will go right over your head.
Personal Response:
I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars. I was kind of sad when I read that everyone was fighting a civil war. Seeing the Sith fight among each other makes me upset. The Sith can't thrive if they are killing each other. I do like how it was resolved in the end though. I would recommend it to all Star Wars fans.

Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith by John Jackson Miller
Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith Volumes 1 - 7: [Kindle Edition] by John Jackson Miller
(Book description from Amazon Kindle)
[When the Sith ship Omen crash-landed on Kesh two thousand years ago, the crew encountered native barbarism and superstition. Now a violent millennium has reduced the Lost Tribe of the Sith to a similar state. While Sith teachings are remembered, honored, and violently practiced, knowledge of the Lost Tribe’s true origins has all but vanished. With a dark age imperiling the Sith, the future rests in the hands of the unlikeliest of people: Caretaker Hilts, the official keeper of lore. Mild-mannered by Sith standards, the aged Hilts hopes to use the wisdom of the ancients to reunite his people. But the truth he uncovers becomes anything but the Tribe’s salvation. Rather, he may have set loose forces leading to its destruction—and his own. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Ascension.]
I admit to making this mistake…this was my first foray into the Star Wars fiction empire. I have seen the movies but this is my first book. I may not have made the best choice in choosing this one to embark upon my written ‘Star Wars’ exploration. I honestly chose this series because all seven volumes are currently ‘free’ at Amazon Kindle and each book has a preview offering of the “Fate of the Jedi” series.
While the story is enjoyable, I became bogged down with some of the terms, history and proper nouns that I’m sure this ‘universe’ uses on a constant basis in the many works this series has sired. It left me a bit confused but, again, this was my fault. I will rectify this soon by restarting my exploration by reading the original novels that began the adventure. I will then re-read this series and offer a true review.
The ending of volume seven does leave one in the throes of an interesting cliffhanger…

A great entry which bounces back to the series' roots in the form of a... historiographical drama? Varner Hilts is a Sith historian living in an age of decline. Multiple different warring factions have cropped up, all of them claiming legitimacy through their reading of history. They, and Hilts, will have their destiny changed by a revelation about that very history.
Hilts is already a fascinating character, someone who clearly exists beyond his society's expectations and yet is still fundamentally shaped by them. There is so much "lore" in here, so many storytelling possibilities crop up in just thirty pages. The historiographical angle is hilarious and fascinating, the type of story Star Wars simply never delivers otherwise. As well, "Pantheon" more than its preceeding story really validates the series' anthology form. I'm more enamoured with this one than most of its predecessors. Can't wait to finish out the second duology with "Secrets".

Another thousand years have passed since Sentinel. The Sith are still stranded on Kesh. But the governmental system of the Sith is failing, no dominate leader lasted long. Rebellions grouped together to overthrow the current leader, just to have their faction break under the weight of power. The capitol city constantly under attack starts to fail, old structures fall due to disrepair. Civilization is on its edge.
But two important celebrations are coming, and both will be held at the same time for the very first time ever.
But calamity falls when an ancient device falters, and shows the people a message that was never meant to be seen. A message that means that the Humans of Kesh are not special, but slaves to a monster never seen before. Anarchy reigns as civilization falls.
I have to say, I find it interesting to read multiple stories in a single book. Every few books the story takes a radical turn, introducing new characters and a different time line. How the lost Tribe of the Sith has remained the same, but also changed over two thousand years. To find out this planet is so remote, that in two thousand years only 2 ships have landed on it.
This is a great read, and I can’t wait to read the final chapter and see how this all ends up. From reading this book, it appears the stories of the Lost Tribe of the Sith continues in a different book which I will have to find and read.
It as with the others, has DRM, -1.

After nearly a century, a fractured Sith are preparing for a celebration of Korsin & Nida, founders of their society. One sect tries to tamper with the record; to seat themselves as true heirs. Like true Sith, this leads to a conflict and an ultimate revelation - quite by accident - that will tear the Sith apart. It's up to the Caretaker to find the real truth.
I have to say that this is my favorite of the short stories so far. I really like the way things play out here and hope that the Caretaker ends up becoming something much more. On to Secrets.

Good story, solid continuation from the last chapter of the Lost Tribe, and it still makes you like the Sith, well, basically because these particular Sith don't have much to do with the Sith we're familiar with but still.
January 3, 2025
Cliffhanger, not really a complete story. But really interesting to see how just a small snippet of information can be used to form an entire religion and culture that changes over so many years as to know nearly nothing of their origins.

Really strong entry! Big fan of heretics.

Probably one of my favourite stories in the series. I enjoy the descent into tribalism and the factions that spawned during the Age of Rot.

Jump another thousand years ahead in this installment and meet Varner Hilts, an aging Sith who is Caretaker of history. The Sith have all but abandoned the old ways and have splintered into openly hostile factions. Varner is preparing for Testament day, a day in which Yaru Korsin's testament is read and is celebrated every twenty-five years.
This year is different as the leader of a faction loyal to Seelah demand Varner change the testament to be kinder to Seelah only to find that Yaru's testament is a holographic recording Yaru left for his daughter Nida and cannot be altered.
Having seen the other faction enter early, a number of other Sith join them and some fighting ensues, as it does with Sith. Varner calms them down and they decide the testament will be seen by the faction leaders early.
Probably due to the way the little device was being handled, after Yaur reads his testament to Nida, some of the original recording bleeds through and the Sith watch as Naga Sadow, a pure blood Sith, gives Yaru orders and that the human Sith are his crew of miners and Yaru just a pilot. After this, deciding they were nothing special after all and the decedents of slaves, the Sith fall into mass hysteria and begin destroying everything and everyone. In an effort to stop it all Varner decides to go to the one place Yaru Korsin forbade anyone from ever returning in his testament, the crash site of Oman and the temple.
You get a really good sense of what the Sith here are all about, especially the way they reacted when seeing Naga Sadow. Revulsion. The way that their hatred comes out is well done, especially the hatred they now feel for themselves.
Another quality installment. Well written, well paced, and some new and interesting characters.

What I don’t like about these books is their form – as short stories – what I mean is, that reading them as one book wouldn’t work for me because I want to take it sequentially and therefore I’d have to stop at one point and star another book because the last two stories are after some other books, at least according the time-line. And reading them as separate books is also not the same because they’re too short to build up some atmosphere and suspense, not a very good one, though I admit that the stories got slowly better. But it was odd how there’s been many years between them – 25 years between 1-4 and a thousand between 4 and 5, just then it again was following on each other directly – I mean why? Why not take it a little bit slower?
Oh, and the thing with the Keshiri people – when they’ve been able to steel all their Uvak I certainly wouldn’t just flee and try to find a new home and risk that many would die during the journey, I’d rather have my own city back, so I don’t understand why wouldn’t they rather fight.
Well, anyway, I doubt I’ll read them again, they’re nothing that special.

These Lost Tribe novellas are killing me! This is more of a 2.5, but whatever. All of them so far have had the "catch me up to whenever they are" intro, which can be a stretch with a few HUNDRED years between novellas! And then, every time, I will just start getting into things, and BAM end of story. Which always takes me by surprise, even though they consistantly end at "75% done" on my ereader. At which point, the remaining 25% is spent giving a "teaser" for another book-sized book. Grrrr.
Seriously, they obviously get off the damn planet. But leaving the story right towards the end of this crazy upheaval/riot would be sort of like abandoning the story of the American Revolution (or French Revolution or whatever historical "riot gone big" you choose) right at the almost climax of realizing, "Oh, this team wins!", and then picking it up years later in another book with a nonchalant mention of American Ambassadors arriving in France on equal-ish footing. So annoying.

This takes place with new characters again and a few hundred years after the previous story. The Sith tribe on Kesh has broken down into separate factions ever since the Grand Lord Lillia Venn met her end and now they constantly fight with each other to determine who is the rightful ruler of Kesh.
In this story, the events happen around a special day in the Sith culture. A day that marks the founder of the tribe's death and on this day, his last testament will be read out to all in attendance. During the ceremony, the Caretaker discovers a hidden message and the true history of the tribe is revealed...
I like this story. It's interesting to see the different factions of Sith on Kesh and how they each identify themselves. The story itself is pretty exciting and I can't wait to see where it leads in the next book.

Once again we have a different group of people on Kesh. It's been 2000 years since the events in Book One, back when the Omen crash landed onto the planet. Now, the Sith of old are all myths and legends, legends that Caretaker Hilts is charged to keep.
Hilts is an aged historian, and it's nearing Testament Day, a day set aside every 50 years to listen to Yaru Korsin's, Captain of the Omen and the first Grand Lord of Kesh, last testament. But rival factions are all competing and vying for Hilts' time and efforts, each trying to convince him to change the Grand Lord's words. If only it were that simple.
Pantheon was okay, and its ending has me waiting for the final volume in the Lost Tribe of the Sith to come out this summer, if only to see how John Jackson Miller wraps it all up.

Les Sith ont réussi à survivre sur Kesh pendant 2000 ans sans complètement s'exterminer. Les événement des trois premiers tome de la série font maintenant partie de la religion de ces seigneurs noirs. Les problèmes arrivent lorsque les leaders découvrent un enregistrement qui remet en question ce qu'ils savent de leurs ancêtre. Seraient-ils tous des descendants d'esclaves?
J'ai aimé dans ce tome l'évolution des mentalité des Sith. Toute leur vie tourne autour de leur religion. Maintenant que leurs concepts sont remis en question, ceux-ci se retrouvent dans le désespoir. Ce qui est bien dans cette série c'est qu'elle se concentre vraiment sur les Sith et leur mode de vie. Ils sont autre chose que les méchants sans pitié que l'on voit habituellement dans les autres romans. J'ai bien hâte de voir ce que me réserve la suite.

Product Description
When the Sith ship Omen crash-landed on Kesh two thousand years ago, the crew encountered native barbarism and superstition. Now a violent millennium has reduced the Lost Tribe of the Sith to a similar state. While Sith teachings are remembered, honored, and violently practiced, knowledge of the Lost Tribe’s true origins has all but vanished. With a dark age imperiling the Sith, the future rests in the hands of the unlikeliest of people: Caretaker Hilts, the official keeper of lore. Mild-mannered by Sith standards, the aged Hilts hopes to use the wisdom of the ancients to reunite his people. But the truth he uncovers becomes anything but the Tribe’s salvation. Rather, he may have set loose forces leading to its destruction—and his own. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Ascension.

I am at the point that if these Lost Tribe stories weren't very short and free I probably wouldn't read them. Yet again this tale takes a jump into the future and yet again I am puzzled by the complete lack of advancement of these Sith. They have split into factions and yet they still have developed no new technologies or any kind of advanced civilization. That might work across a couple of hundred years but these stories now span thousands of years. It just doesn't hold up to common sense. Plus these are very tame Sith. There are a couple of mentions of light sabers and THAT'S IT! I will probably read the next in this series simply because I am a dork like that but I do not have very high expectations.
August 3, 2011
It took me awhile to get interested in this one...the jedi from the last two books was not in this one (sob; farewell blue light saber!). I liked the ending though; I found the scene where Korsin's testament is heard quite interesting, and of course the listeners discovering that Korsin wasn't who they thought he was. Very interesting ending. Hopefully book 8 picks up where this one left off and doesn't wander around.
August 20, 2011
Quick and enjoyable! I'm really enjoying this mini ebook novellas, short but sweet. Will be interested to see how the Lost Tribe evolves with each story as the stories push them closer and closer to the present day.
Lost Tribe descendents learn the truth of their ancestry, of those that existed thousands of years ago. Can the truth end the wars that plague the Lost Tribe... a tribe that is in much need of a leader?

The most complelling entry comes at the end of the series...finally. Of course Miller introduces completely new characters and seems to ignore what occured at the end of The Sentiel. Strangely enough however is that the transition seemed smoother. Pantheon read much faster than any of the others and Miller kicks us with a nice cliff hanger at the end, hopefully a #8 is on the way or perhaps continued in a different series at some point.

Book 7 in the series reveals to us the nature of the "lost tribe" as the future generations learn they are not the founders they thought they were.....and worse they were led by the very non human naga sadow. During the chaos that ensues an elder caretaker realizes the ancient hologram was refering to the throne aboard ancient ship Omen sealed inside the mountain. As he proceeds towards the mountain the story ends leaving us with a sith cliffhanger.....

Pantheon seems like a Philip K. Dick short story; it's dark, bizarre, it changes the perception of the past the characters had at the beginning of the story. People complained that the Fate of the Jedi series was a poor excuse to bring back the Sith after the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the truth is that we Warsies needed the return of the Sith and The Lost Tribe of the Sith is a fresh approach to the Sith History.
August 11, 2011
This is the 7th short story in the "Lost Tribe of the Sith" series. As in the other books this story is well written and developed. Even though each story tells of a different era of the Tribes history they flow together freely and are easy to follow. Charactors are strong and well developed.
This a very good read and I highly recommend it.

Somehow I got fooled into thinking the last story was the final one of the series. This story picks up far in the future of the previous tales and may finally be the beginning of the end of this completely forgettable story. There's nothing intrinsically wrong with the stories, but they are too short and covering too broad a background for any depth.
July 6, 2012
Not as good as the previous 2 or 3. Not much happened in this book. It basically shows how the Tribe discovers that they are in fact a Lost Tribe of the Sith, and that their origins are but lackeys to Marka Ragnos. Civil War ensues, bringing the population of the Sith on Kesh to mere thousands. I hope the 8th book is better, seeing as it is the last in this series.
October 16, 2014
Another huge time lapse from the last installment, but I'm perfectly okay with that on this one -- it was great! And the jumps in time make sense now, as the stories are building upon the background of the previous volumes -- everything makes sense. I was awed more than once during this one, especially when the Sith learn...certain things about their origin on Kesh.
January 17, 2016
Not a bad short story. This one had more humor then most of the others in this series, and it took a lighter tone overall.
This is an interesting look at how a society and religions change and degenerate throughout centuries. It's interesting to see how the current descendants view their forebears and what things have turned into.

Short... but very good. Ended on a cliff-hanger. I have really enjoyed these Lost Tribe of the Sith ebooks put out by Miller. He has an uncanny ability to get me to get invested into a story and the characters in the short amount of time he has.
