The Captive Temple

This I would say is part 2 in the Zanatos arc and its really well done. Almost like Phantom of the Opera except inside the Jedi Temple. Great rescue scene with Obi Won helping to save toddlers and Bant is more fleshed out as well as Master Tahl. Both of the side characters are cool and the inner turmoils of the characters are well written. The climactic lightaber battle, in the jedi-master, council-chamber and simultaneus...

Anyone of any age with the remotest interest in the Star Wars universe must read these books. The richness with which Watson draws the characters (not only Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon,... Read Full Review

To quote Yoda - "Patience your ally is." Time and time again, Obi-Wan is rash, somewhat reckless, but Qui-Gon? I expected better from him. I refer to the ending, and oh my goodness, what an ending! (btw - you know the book is good (and well written) when you come to the same conclusion the characters make only two (literally!) sentences before they do!) Excellent Fight scenes, I could smell the ozone of the lightsabers!... Read Full Review
