Publisher's summary

The Empire has risen. The Jedi Order has been destroyed. As far as the Emperor is concerned, the Jedi are all but extinct.

But on the remote planet of Tatooine, one Jedi Master remains: Obi-Wan Kenobi. Devastated by the loss of his fellow Jedi—and the betrayal of his former apprentice Anakin—Obi-Wan has been left with one last task: to watch over and protect a young child named Luke.

When Obi-Wan finds out that a former Jedi apprentice has survived, he must make a painful decision: whether to stay on Tatooine or go on one last, desperate mission—right into the heart of the Empire.

The thrilling new series from The New York Times bestselling author of Jedi Apprentice and Jedi Quest.

Plot summary

Obi-Wan Kenobi has lived for a year on the desolated Tatooine. One night, in a cantina, he overhears a conversation during which he finds out that Ferus Olin, Siri Tachi's ex-padawan, is still alive, but he is also in terrible danger: he was captured by the Empire, managed to flee and now he's an outlaw. Obi Wan decides to help him and flies to Bellassa, where Ferus is hiding. Unfortunately, the planet has just been invaded by the Empire. Obi-Wan begins to look for his friend.

Behind the scenes

Clone troopers are erroneously written as stormtroopers during Clone Wars and Battle of Geonosis.

It is noted that on the cover, Obi-Wan is holding his lightsaber from Episode I and II eventhough the book is set in the time period after Episode III. In Episode III, Obi-Wan used his final lightsaber.
