On the Outer Rim, the planet Lanteeb has no strategic value, no political power, and one enormous problem: It has been invaded by an emboldened Separatist Alliance. To find out why, Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi have snuck onto Lanteebe and now look oblivion in the eye.
Hiding their lightsabers beneath their dusty disguises, Anakin and Obi-Wan draw on their Jedi skills to stay one step ahead of Lok Durd's droid army on Lanteeb. The Jedi know that a captive scientist has given Durd the keys to a terrifying bioweapon. Durd knows that the Jedi are on his planet.
With Yoda calling on the powers of the Jedi Council, with a new Separatist technology jamming the Guardians' communications, and with a traitor at the heart of the Republic's government, the wheels of war are turning. But the Separatists have blockaded Lanteeb. The finishing touches are being put on a weapon to destroy whole worlds. And it will be up to the two Jedi Knights and their most trusted comrades to liberate Lanteeb or forever suffer the consequences.

"A really good book over-all. One of the best Star Wars books that I have read. Karen Miller really takes her time and develops a relatively non-technological society as the backdrop for the story. It was a refreshing change for the series as a whole. " — Chad (4 out of 5 stars)

" I enjoyed this duology well enough but I was slightly disappointed with the ending. It felt incredibly rushed for a plot that was stretched across two whole novels. It was also a bit unsatisfying. I would have liked to see them safely home. "
" An imptovement in writing style over volume one, and also a more coherent story. I did care about the characters, which was a bonus. "
" Actually I would give this book slightly more than 3 stars -- it was entertaining enough for a Star Wars book, but it didn't really add anything to the overall Star Wars story arc. We know how this story is going to end. "
" This and stealth were much better than her Wild Space effort but it is not up the standard of some of the other more recelt Star Wars books (e.g the Darth Bane Trilogy) "
" Very action packed. Didn't like the love interest backstory of Obi-Wan. "

" Made me like Anakin. Hell has frozen over. "
" I really liked this duo of books. The story was fast-paced and fun. I think Miller did a nice job creating the dialogue for the "teebs" and she made them sound practically Amish. I so wish I was a Jedi! :-) "
" See comments for 1st book. "
