Description

Qui-Gon Jinn's evil, former apprentice, Xanatos, has set a trap for his old Master. He has lured Qui-Gon and young Obi-Wan Kenobi to his home planet of Telos, and has framed them for a crime they did not commit.

Quick Summary

Jedi Apprentice fans will love this fast-paced adventure that puts Qui-Gon and young Obi-Wan on a dangerous mission to prove they didn't commit a crime on the planet Telos. The plot feels like a sci-fi mystery: the heroes are framed, chased through exotic settings, and have to outwit a clever villain who knows their old moves. The action is steady, with lightsaber duels and clever puzzles that keep the story moving, while the dialogue stays light enough to appeal to reluctant readers. It's a great pick for kids who enjoy Star Wars, problem-solving, and a touch of moral dilemma, and it works well as a companion to other books in the Jedi Apprentice series. Parents can rest assured the story is full of excitement but stays age-appropriate, with a focus on teamwork and redemption rather than anything too scary.
