[edit] Publisher's summary
Honor over Hate
Strength over Fear
Qui-Gon Jinn's evil former apprentice, Xanatos, has set a trap for his old Master. He has lured Qui-Gon and young Obi-Wan Kenobi to his home planet of Telos… and has framed them for a crime they did not commit.
The penalty is death.
Suddenly Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are fugitives on a planet where everyone is an enemy.
Xanatos' day of reckoning has come.
[edit] Plot summary
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, still attempting to patch their broken relationship, follow Xanatos to his home planet of Telos. Expecting it to be a simple apprehension, they are surprised to find that Xanatos wields significant financial and political power there. He's a hero among his people.
What the people of the planet don't know is that while Xanatos and the government have been distracting them with a form of gambling called Katharsis, his company has been pillaging the planet's resources. Not a nice thing considering the importance the people place on their environment.
Pursued by Xanatos' men, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon soon hook up with a small rebellion. But what can they do to stop him when the entire planet thinks he's a hero?
