SUMMARY:
-
"You've seen the movie ThePhantom
Menace. You've read the #1 New York Times bestselling
book based on George Lucas's masterpiece. Now, before the eagerly
awaited release of Episode II, comes a stunning new Star Wars
novel from one of science fiction's greatest talents, a writer universally
acclaimed for his keen grasp of cutting-edge science and the brilliance
of his page-turning plots: multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author
Greg Bear. The result is pure adrenaline—an unforgettable journey
stretching from the farthest reaches of known space to the battlefield
of a young boy's heart, where a secret struggle is being waged that will
decide the fate of billions. That boy is twelve-year-old Anakin Skywalker.
The Force is strong in Anakin ... so strong that the Jedi Council, despite
misgivings, entrusted the young Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi with the mission
of training him to become a Jedi Knight. Obi-Wan—like his slain master,
Qui-Gon—believes Anakin may be the chosen one, the Jedi destined to bring
balance to the Force. But first Obi-Wan must help his undisciplined,
idealistic apprentice, who still bears the scars of slavery, find his own
balance. Dispatched to the mysterious planet of Zonama Sekot, source
of the fastest ships in the galaxy, Obi-Wan and Anakin are swept up ina
swirl of deadly intrigue and betrayal. For there are others who covet
the power such superfast ships could bring. Raith Sienar, a brilliant
but unscrupulous weapons and ship designer, has the brains to decipher
Zonama Sekot ship design. Commander Wilhuff Tarkin has at his disposal
the forces of the mighty Trade Federation with which to extract the secret.
Together, they make a formidable foe, on a small and undeveloped planet
can hardly hope to stand against. But as Tarkin's fleet strikes with
all its brutal power, Obi-Wan and Anakin sense a disturbance in the Force
unlike any they have encountered before. It seems there are more
secrets on Zonama Sekot than meet the eye. The search for those secrets
will threaten the bond betwwen Obi-Wan and Anakin ... and bring the troubled
young apprentice face-to-face with his deepest fears—and his darkest destiny."
