Publisher Description
There is great disturbance in the Force . . .
Mischievous and resolved, courageous to the point of recklessness, Anakin Skywalker has come of age in a time of great upheaval. The nineteen-year-old apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi is an enigma to the Jedi Council, and a challenge to his Jedi Master. Time has not dulled Anakin’s ambition, nor has his Jedi training tamed his independent streak. When an attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala’s life brings them together for the first time in ten years, it is clear that time also has not dulled Anakin’s intense feelings for the beautiful diplomat.
The attack on Senator Amidala just before a crucial vote thrusts the Republic even closer to the edge of disaster. Masters Yoda and Mace Windu sense enormous unease. The dark side is growing, clouding the Jedi’s perception of the events. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, a slow rumble is building into the roar of thousands of soldiers readying for battle. But even as the Republic falters around them, Anakin and Padmé find a connection so intense that all else begins to fall away. Anakin will lose himself—and his way—in emotions a Jedi, sworn to hold allegiance only to the Order, is forbidden to have.
Based on the story by George Lucas and the screenplay by George Lucas and Jonathan Hales, this intense and revealing novel by bestselling author R. A. Salvatore sheds new light on the legend of Star Wars—and skillfully illuminates one of our most beloved sagas.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Clouded is the force, troubling it is." Beginning with the familiar strains of the Star Wars theme, this production of Salvatore's epic tale is executed wonderfully. Punctuated with sound effects and bursts of John Williams's music, Davis delivers this yarn as if it were a tale of utmost importance, which it may well be to the many fans of the tales from "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." Davis, a veteran Star Wars reader, recounts the "legendary" tale with drama and awe. His narration is riveting and his role-playing is convincing. While an audio reading of a book based upon a movie based on a story by George Lucas may seem a bit of a stretch, this one-man audio drama is destined for repeat road-trip listening for young Jedi. And maybe with exposure to multiple performances, the older generation will eventually be able to untangle the complex story line and discern the Republic from the Federation; the droids from the clones. Simultaneous release with the Del Rey hardcover.
