Also the plotting and grooming of Anakin by Palpatine. They really add to both Obi-Wan and Anakin's development. The side/supporting characters in this book are also great. Another great touch in this book is the fact that Obi-Wan recognises a position Anakin is in as he could have made a similar choice in his life. I also like Obi-Wan's insecurities about his worthiness of his new position. Though technically Obi-Wan still outranks him, he us no longer has direct master. The change in rank also affects his relationship with Obi-Wan. This is book covers the transition period, after Atrack of the Clones, (and Queen's Hope), Anakin becoming a Jedi Knight from a Padawan. I was a bit worried because the book started out a bit slow, and not very action packed, but as the further I read the mire the pace of the book made sense. They must stand together as brothers.Īn excellent book, that gets better as it goes along. To overcome the threat they face, they must grow beyond Master and apprentice.

The lingering friction between them increases the danger for everyone around them. Once a Padawan to Obi-Wan, Anakin now finds himself on equal-but uncertain-footing with the man who raised him.

Despite the mandate that Obi-Wan travel alone-and his former Master’s insistence that he listen this time-Anakin’s headstrong determination means nothing can stop him from crashing the party and bringing along a promising but conflicted youngling. As Obi-Wan investigates with the help of a heroic Neimoidian guard, he finds himself working against the Separatists who hope to draw the planet into their conspiracy-and he senses the sinister hand of Asajj Ventress in the mists that cloak the planet.Īmid the brewing chaos, Anakin Skywalker rises to the rank of Jedi Knight. The Jedi dispatch Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of the Order’s most gifted diplomatic minds, to investigate the crime and maintain the balance that has begun to dangerously shift. With every world that joins the Separatists, the peace guarded by the Jedi Order is slipping through their fingers.Īfter an explosion devastates Cato Neimoidia, the jewel of the Trade Federation, the Republic is blamed and the fragile neutrality of the planet is threatened. Battle lines are being drawn throughout the galaxy.
