The pre-Episode II adventures of Obi-Wan and Anakin continue, this time with a surprising amount of connection to Episode I. The plot starts off a little weak, with the Jedi on a security mission for a kind of galactic olympics, but soon becomes interesting when Anakin discovers some illegal pod racing, and runs into several racers from Episode I, including Sebulba (who's son does the actual racing). Of course, there's an exciting race, with a course that is revealed to the racers during the event (which leads them into certain disaster, as expected). There's some great Obi-Wan action, too, as he defeats an athletic champion (who turns out to be the bad guy) with superior Jedi skill. Overall, this was a really interesting installment - maybe the best so far!Labels: books, star wars
