Sithek könyve - A sötét oldal titkai. A századok alatt, ahogy a sith nagyurai hatalomra emelkedtek, néhányan lejegyezték filozófiájukat és módszereiket, hogy tovább terjeszthessék befolyásukat a galaxisban. Mikor elbuktak, tudásuk is eltűnt. Legalábbis úgy tűnt... Az írásuk kézről kézre járt néhány kiválasztott sith - és jedi - között, akik hozzáadták saját gondolataikat ezekhez a kivételes oldalakhoz. A hatalom felé tartó úton Darth Sidious kiderítette, mi maradt a sötét oldal öt legendás szövegéből. Ezekből írta meg a hatodikat. Ezt a gyűjteményt nevezzük... a Sithek könyvének.

Edsel Bronfman je nevýrazný, ostýchavý mladík, který má v životě rád jednoduchý řád. Všechen svůj čas dělí mezi práci řadového referenta a svou matku, jejíž záviděníhodnou bohémskou oduševnělost začíná kvapem střídat stařecká demence. Mívá sice ještě občas světlé chvilky, ale přestává být jasné, kdy jde o výstřelek oduševnělé bohémky a kdy o duševní lapsus staré pomatené notoričky. Pořídila si Edsela s jedním ze svých četných milenců v dobách, kdy se dělala láska, ne válka. K její lítosti syn nezdědil esprit donchuána. Edsel je čistá duše, všechno bere vážně a zgruntu poctivě, žije monotónní život a za vrchol vzrušení považuje zisk propisovačky s logem firmy, která mu až doposud chyběla ve sbírce. Jednoho dne mu ovšem zavolá operátorka číslo 61217 a oznámí mu, že vyhrál víkendový pobyt v luxusním apartmánu na Floridě. Věc má ovšem háček – poukaz je určen výlučně pro dvě osoby a má omezenou platnost. Edsel přistoupí k hledání partnerky pro víkend u moře stejně zodpovědně jako k jakémukoli jinému pracovnímu úkolu. Tíží ho sice obava, že taková věc může převrátit jeho život úplně naruby, ale nakonec v něm převáží touha podívat se na Floridu a zažít vzrušení, o němž všichni tolik básní. Zevrubné přípravy zahrnují členství v posilovně, návštěvu nočního baru, střetnutí s drogovým dealerem, a dokonce i hodinový pobyt ve vězení. A během toho všeho se mu do života připletou tři ženy, do nichž je tak trochu zamilovaný a ony jsou tak nějak zamilované do něj. Jenomže zažít neobyčejná dobrodružství na Floridě může jen s jednou z nich.
