5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to start a brand new way in the past series, 21 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rising Force ("Star Wars" Jedi Apprentice) (Paperback)
This first book is a brilliant start to a series set before the Phantom Menace. It really describes the life of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon before the first film. Dave Wolverton is a good author since he puts feelling and descreption into this amazing book. He makes his characters come to life and he has the most wonderful plots that can't let you put the book down. Not even to go to the toilet! All I can say that this is a wonderful start to a wonderful series and it lets you find out the secrets of life before the Phantom Menace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!, 17 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rising Force ("Star Wars" Jedi Apprentice) (Paperback)
This is a brilliant book!I felt so sorry for Obi-Wan,but after reading number 2 in the series,Qui-Gon's attitude is explained.There's loads of suspense and I couldnt but it down.I know its a kids' book but its waaaay too short.Cant wait to read the rest of them!
