Rogue Planet
You've seen the blockbuster The Phantom 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 master Obi-Wan Kenobi with the mission of training him to
become a Jedi Knight. Obi-Wan — like his murdered 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 in a swirl of deadly intrigue and betrayal. For the Trade Federation is interested in Zonama Sekot as well. Raith Sienar, a brilliant but
unscrupulous weapons and ship designer, seizes the opportunity to make a killing by stealing the secret of the superfast ships.
As
Sienar strikes with all the brutal power of the Trade Federation,
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 between Obi-Wan and Anakin... and bring the troubled young
apprentice face-to-face with his deepest fears — and his darkest destiny.
