This splendid adventure yarn offers a gut-wrenching surprise on nearly every page and a knock-the-socks-off ending."-Publishers WeeklyWhen the economically depressed government of Ord Cestus threatens to sell incredibly deadly battle droids to the Separatists, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine dispatches a team led by Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi to the planet. Their mission: to halt the deal. A peaceful resolution is preferable, but if all else fails, the Republic will not hesitate to demonstrate the consequences of disloyalty by launching a full-scale attack-wiping out not only the means of biodroid production but countless lives as well. The prospect of such a slaughter only fuels Obi-Wan's growing suspicions about the sinister path the Republic seems to be taking. Facing a crisis of conscience, Obi-Wan must find the wisdom and strength to prevent a bloodbath and safeguard the Republic-while abiding by the ancient code to which he has pledged his life.EAN: 9780345458988Package Dimensions: Height: 6.8 Inches, Length: 4.2 Inches, Weight: 0.57540650382 Pounds, Width: 1.04 Inches Show more
