A seemingly unimportant planet has drawn the interest of the Seps--and Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi soon discover the disturbing reason. A scientist enslaved by General Lok Durd is drawing on Lanteeb's one natural resource for a devastating bioweapon. Now Anakin and Obi-Wan have entered the eye of a storm.
It was a good wrap up of part one - lots of things going on, a lot of people trying to save everyone from the bio weapon, interesting combinations, how the people worked together, it was all very interesting... maybe at times felt a little long, but it was still a good one!
This is book one of a to be continued set, which I didn't know until I was listening and the reader said those words. That was definitely a first for me. LOL Anyway, it's pretty darn good. It sort of takes place directly after Karen Miller's Wild Space, along with referencing events in the Clone Wars series, so while not really necessary, reading Wild Space gets you the background to Kenobi and Bail Organa's now close and trusted relationship. But this is a mission with Ben and Anakin this time, where they are on this separatists controlled planet, but it makes no sense on the surface as to why they'd want it. Among some of the possibilities they consider, the absolutely worse case scenario, they realize, is that they might be trying to create a bioweapon, and they need information to see if this is true or what else is …

However, how it all wraps up is in the next one, Siege.
