Product Description

Product Description
The Confederacy is trying to get its hands on some very special battle droids, and the Republic is determined to stop them, so Obi-Wan Kenobi is sent to the planet Ord Cestus, manufacturer of the droids. His mission: diplomacy. But if diplomacy doesn't work, he will use any means a Jedi can to help keep these potentially super-dangerous weapons out of enemy hands. And diplomacy can't work. Someone is pulling the manufacturing planet's strings--someone with an agenda all his or her own, which can't allow for either side to win control. As Obi-Wan and Jedi Master Kit Fisto uncover the secret plans layer by layer, Obi-Wan learns just how much he can trust a clone warrior...and just how reprehensible war can be, especially in the face of true honour.

From the Publisher
Exciting Star Wars Jedi adventure starring Obi-Wan Kenobi. For fans of the movies and especially for fans of Obi-Wan, played by Ewan MacGregor in the new movies and Alec Guinness in the classic films

1.0 out of 5 stars Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful, 20 May 2008
This review is from: Star Wars: Clone Wars: The Cestus Deception: A Clone Wars Novel (Star Wars: Clone Wars (Del Rey Hardcover)) (Hardcover)
This is by far the worst of the 54 star wars books I have read so far. Even as an avid fan, this is a slow, pointless effort that could have been over in 2 chapters. Half way through I was actually trying to remember what had happened, for two reasons.
1) It was so bad I could only manage a few pages a night and so couldnt remember what had happened weeks ago, and:
2) Nothing had happened!!!
This book makes Obi-Wan out to be some sneaky, underhanded, but incompetant Jedi and Kit to be this outlandish thug. These are supposed to be skilled Jedi with Obi wan hailed as the negotiator for pity sake, not some refugees trying to sneak a win under a governments nose. This book demolishes the image that the films and books tried to build. Stupid bugs, Troopers naming themselves, useless anecdotes about Jango Fett, pointless politics tied loosely to the war! this was awful!
I love the star wars books, and so will keep it in the collection, but it will not be read again and unless you are a collector, please please please stay clear. Its just not worth it. If you want a Clone wars book, buy "Shatterpoint" or the magnificent "Labyrinth of Evil". Other timelines? the thrawn trilogy or most of the new Jedi order (start at the beginning though!)
So, sorry my first review is so bad but after so long enjoying the star wars universe I really cannot believe anyone let this be published and felt i had to speak out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Starwars novel, 7 Dec 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Wars: Clone Wars: The Cestus Deception: A Clone Wars Novel (Star Wars: Clone Wars (Del Rey Paperback)) (Mass Market Paperback)
I have just finished reading this book.
The Story draws you in stright away & centres around Obi -Wan & Kit Fisto's mission to Ord Cestus.
The story romps along with a few cameos from some of the other chracters from the starwars universe & is easy to read, unlike some of the New Jedi Order books.
Highly recommeded.
If you like Star wars - you'll like this book.
