The Cestus Deception: Star Wars Legends (Clone Wars) A Clone Wars Novel

von Steven Barnes

Format:Softcover

“Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi strides—and soars and plots and duels—again in this stirring new addition to the Star Wars saga. . . . This splendid adventure yarn offers a gut-wrenching surprise on nearly every page and a knock-the-socks-off ending.”—Publishers WeeklyWhen the economically depressed government of Ord Cestus threatens to sell incredibly deadly battle droids to the Separatists, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine dispatches a team led by Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi to the planet. Their mission: to halt the deal. A peaceful resolution is preferable, but if all else fails, the Republic will not hesitate to demonstrate the consequences of disloyalty by launching a full-scale attack—wiping out not only the means of biodroid production but countless lives as well. The prospect of such a slaughter only fuels Obi-Wan’s growing suspicions about the sinister path the Republic seems to be taking. Facing a crisis of conscience, Obi-Wan must find the wisdom and strength to prevent a bloodbath and safeguard the Republic—while abiding by the ancient code to which he has pledged his life.

Okay, I must admit that I actually bought the book only because of Kit Fisto (and the description of his eyes and his two hearts 😍) The way he talks and his realistically detached view of the universe: you just gotta love the guy. Concerning Kit Fisto there are a few mistakes: Nautolans don't have eyebrows (they don't have head hair or eyelashes), so it's nonsense to write repeatedly that Kit "raised his eyebrows". Another logical error: when Kit teaches the clones, he refers to the human body in his anatomical explanations. Kit is a nautolan, and the mere fact that he has two hearts and that his eyes work like amphibians' suggests that his anatomy is fundamentally different from that of humans. On the one hand I loved the description of Kit in this book: very coherent and sympathetic for me. He’s not that chatty rather serious, and his special smile is explained. On the other hand I wonder why these mistakes I’ve mentioned above, happened: if you decide to write about Kit (and Steven Barnes did it very well actually) you must not forget that you’re writing about a Nautolan and you have to be able writing out of his perspective, out of his body. As for the writing style: many phrases are repeated very often, without variation. The Jedi killer droid arc starts very promisingly and then fizzles out. As well developed as some characters are (Kit, Jangotat), others are extremely flat and uninteresting. They are talking in the same style so you can’t separate them. Some don't even have proper names, but anagrammatic designations that are neither funny nor intelligent. The story suffers from this. Anyway, I love the book because of Kit.
