About the book: 2011 / Join the breathtaking adventure! Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are on a deadly hunt for the lord of evil, who is tearing the galaxy apart...War, which began in Episode II: Attack of the Clones has almost reached its boiling point. Unstoppable Separatist forces continue their attacks on the shattered Republic, and the diabolical triumvirate of Count Dooku, General Grievous and their master, Darth Sidious, has clearly developed a strategy of conquest. Episode III: Revenge of the Sith will decide the fate of key players on both sides. But before this happens, a turning point will come in the war, and the enemy will lose his track in the labyrinth of evil... The quest to capture the Viceroy of the Trade Federation and member of the Separatist Council Nute Gunray brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker along with a squad of clones to Cato Neimoidia. But the treacherous allies of the Sith, as before, prove their resourcefulness - risking their lives, they elude their Jedi pursuers. And yet, the daring attempt brings an unexpected trophy - a unique holotransmitter, which allows Republican intelligence to get on the trail of the one whose capture they consider their main goal - the elusive Darth Sidious. Quickly assessing the chance given to them, Anakin and Obi-Wan follow the clue from the factories droid production on Charros IV to the backwater worlds of the Outer Rim. With every step they take, they get closer to the lair of the Sith Lord - who they suspect is masterminding the entire Separatist uprising. But a gigantic chess game of galactic proportions continues: in a series of strikes, counterstrikes, ambushes, sabotage and retribution, Sidious is each time one step ahead of the Jedi. And then the action takes a sharp turn. Sidious and his henchmen set in motion a terrifying plan - a campaign designed to fragment and crush the forces of the Jedi and bring the Republic to its knees... * * * Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Chancellor Palpatine, Count Dooku, General Grievous, Padmé Naberrie, Shaak Ti, Yoda, Bail Organa.
