Product Description
The Clone Wars have exploded across the galaxy as Republic forces and Separatists struggle to gain the upper hand. But while the Jedi generals work tirelessly to defeat Count Dooku and his rebels, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is hatching his own dark victory plans.
The Separatists have launched a sneak attack on Coruscant. Obi-Wan Kenobi, wounded in battle, insists that Anakin Skywalker and his rookie Padawan Ahsoka leave on a risky mission against General Grievous. But when Senator Bail Organa reveals some explosive intelligence that could turn the tide of war in the Republic's favor, the Jedi Master agrees to accompany him to an obscure planet on the Outer Rim to verify the facts. What Obi-Wan and Bail don't realize is that they're walking into a deadly trap concocted by Palpatine. And by the time they find out, escape may not be an option.
Inspired by the full-length animated feature film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the brand-new TV series, these thrilling adventures are filled with provocative, never-before-revealed insights into the characters of Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padme, Yoda, Count Dooku, and many other Star Wars favourites.

Format:Paperback
A sequel to Karen Traviss' novelisation of 'The Clone Wars' movie and a tie-in to it's associated animated series; both of which gave me strong reservations about this book. However, it was lauded by Star Wars writer Abel G. Pena and therefore I decided to give it a look.
The story focuses on Obi-Wan Kenobi and Senator Bail Organa (Princess Leia's adoptive dad) as they are forced to travel into the untamed regions of Wild Space to a planet permeated with the power of the Sith. Obi-Wan has long been a favourite of mine and not only was it was nice to see him taking centre stage rather than the deeply irritating Anakin, but it was also interesting to see how he and Bail become the trusted friends seen in 'Revenge Of The Sith'.
The book begins in the immediate aftermath of 'Attack Of The Clones' and I really enjoyed reading how all the characters involved are coping with the emotional fallout of that story's ending. It's interesting to note that in those first few chapters Obi-Wan's voice in my head as I read his dialogue was very much Ewan McGregor but as the story transitioned into tieing-in to the animated series the voice became the much crapper version seen there. Even now I'm not sure if this was because Miller was acknowledging the shift in tone between the movies and the cartoon, or simply a subconscious affectation on my part.
The tie-ins to the cartoon provide all this book's worst bits, all of them involving the aforementioned irritating Skywalker and his apprentice Ahsoka, who is remarkably even more irritating.
Also the book does drag slightly, and perhaps intentionally, during Obi-Wan and Bail's long space voyage into Wild Space. So, by the last third of the book I was a little dispirited overall. However, once Obi-Wan began facing the dark side assaults on the Sith planet Zigoola I really began to enjoy the book and it redeemed all of it's flaws.
The simple truth is that I love reading about the eternal struggle between the Jedi and the Sith and it is in this era, when there aren't the legions of Sith which seem to be popping up in all other Star Wars media at the moment, that the struggle is it's most intense and personal.
So, overall, I felt this book whilst flawed in places was more than worth my time.

Format:Paperback
Over three hundred pages and what did I learn about the Star Wars Expanded Universe. That they are now stealing ideas from the Lord of the Rings. Reading the adventure of Obi Wan and Senator Organa was like reading the travels of Sam and Frodo in the Return of the King, except without the drama. We both know that these people will survive this ordeal because we know the futures story lines of these characters. Overall, this is another poor story. I also felt that it had been fleshed out somewhat. I am sure there could have been a cut of about 100 pages and it would have been a tighter, more interesting story. I also hope that Karen Miller is the new Karen Traviss with an insistence of lots of talking and not much action. Please start to deliver some more interesting Star Wars books soon like the Darth Bane series.

The book Starts well, directly after the battle of geonosis. Then moves on to events between said battle and before padme marries anakin, and then continues on at a good pace with some good material in it, up and until Obi wan and organa get togerther and go on there trip, then it goes down hill from there, the constant bickering and fighting get old. untill they get to the temple it is pretty bad, then it picks up again and finishes. It could have been way better, but it is her first SW book
