NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker must stem the tide of the raging Clone Wars and forge a new bond as Jedi Knights in a high-stakes adventure set just after the events of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: USA Today

The Clone Wars have begun. Battle lines are being drawn throughout the galaxy. With every world that joins the Separatists, the peace guarded by the Jedi Order is slipping through their fingers.

After an explosion devastates Cato Neimoidia, the jewel of the Trade Federation, the Republic is blamed and the fragile neutrality of the planet is threatened. 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. 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 senses the sinister hand of Asajj Ventress in the mists that cloak the planet.

Amid the brewing chaos, Anakin Skywalker rises to the rank of Jedi Knight. 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.

Once a Padawan to Obi-Wan, Anakin now finds himself on equal—but uncertain—footing with the man who raised him. The lingering friction between them increases the danger for everyone around them. The two knights must learn a new way to work together—and they must learn quickly, to save Cato Neimoidia and its people from the fires of war. To overcome the threat they face they must grow beyond master and apprentice. They must stand together as brothers.

A perfect addition to The Clone Wars

A perfect tie-in for The Clone Wars, showing the wars early days and it's effects on Jedi and others. Narration and sound design are excellent, as is the writing and dialogue.

Beautiful

Initially I was not enthusiastic about this book and my expectation was low. But oh my gosh this was a great read. This have so many nuggets it is worth a second listen!

Pretty good

This was pretty good and served as a nice story set between Attack of the Clones and the Clone Wars series.

incredible

wow, beautifully narrated. Story makes sense and is valuable within the world of star wars but could also stand on its own

Amazing!

Very well written! It was nice to finally find out why Obi-Wan didn't count that as saving his tail
