THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An unexpected offer threatens the bond between Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi as the two Jedi navigate a dangerous new planet and an uncertain future. A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force. But perhaps a Jedi's most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a Padawan of his own. But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice. Obi-Wan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him. Why must Qui-Gon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi? Why is Qui-Gon drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasn't Obi-Wan told that Qui-Gon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Council-knowing it would mean the end of their partnership? The simple answer scares him- Obi-Wan has failed his Master. When Jedi Rael Aveross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the Royal Court of Pijal for what may be their final mission together. What should be a simple assignment quickly becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in Qui-Gon's mind. As Qui-Gon's faith in prophecy grows, Obi-Wan's faith in him is tested-just as a threat surfaces which will demand that Master and Apprentice come together as never before, or be divided forever.

Reviewed by SkyllenSo viele Teile des Buchs waren einfach langweilig und überflüssig. Man hätte die Geschichte kürzer schreiben können und der Inhalt wäre derselbe gewesen. Die Beziehung zwischen Qui-Gon und Obi-Wan ist interessant und schwierig und es wird aufgegriffen, was ein wenig in Episode 1 angekratzt wurde. Der einzige Grund, weshalb ich das Buch überhaupt zu Ende gelesen habe, waren die Momente, in der ihre komplizierte Meister-Schüler-Beziehung im Mittelpunkt stand. Die wenigen Kapitel, in denen es um Dooku ging waren auch spannender als die eigentliche Action, um die es im Buch geht. Die anderen Protagonisten wie Rahara oder Rael Averross hatten zwar Backstories, die an sich besonders waren, aber irgendwie erschien mir ihr Auftreten immer eher platt und nicht wirklich lebendig. Ich denke, dass das Problem vor allem an Claudia Gray liegt. Ihre eher oberflächliche und langwierige Schreibweise gefällt mir nicht. Es hat sich alles überflüssig in die Länge gezogen.
