The war that erupted in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of
the Clones is nearing its boiling point, as the dauntless
Separatist forces continue their assault on the teetering
Republic - and the diabolical triumvirate of Count Dooku,
General Grievous, and their Master, Darth Sidious, fine-tune
their strategy for conquest...
In
Episode III: Revenge of the Sith the fates of key players
on both sides of the conflict will be sealed. But first, crucial
events that pave the way to that time of reckoning unfold
in a labyrinth of evil. Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy
- and Separatist council member - Nute Gunray is the mission
that brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker,
with a squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia. But the treacherous
ally of the Sith proves as slippery as ever, evading his Jedi
pursuers even as they narrowly avoid deadly disaster.
Still,
their daring efforts yield an unexpected prize: a unique holotransceiver
that bears intelligence capable of leading the Republic forces
to their ultimate quarry, the ever-elusive Darth Sidious.
Swiftly taking up the chase, Anakin and Obi-Wan follow clues
from the droid factories of Charros IV to the far-flung worlds
of the Outer Rim... every step bringing them closer to pinpointing
the location of the Sith Lord - whom they suspect has been
manipulating every aspect of the Separatist rebellion. Yet
somehow, in the escalating galaxy-wide chess game of strikes,
counterstrikes, ambushes, sabotage, and retaliations, Sidious
stays constantly one move ahead.
And
so The New Jedi Order series draws to a close with
the release of Labyrinth of Evil. One of the great
things about this book is the fact that it's not overly obvious
when you open it that this is the end. But, it soon becomes
apparent that events that have taken years to unfold, as the
books have been released, is about to come to an end. The
only slight complaint I have is that this is a little too
busy in places - it's not that easy to follow what is going
on.
A
fantastic conclusion to what has been an enjoyable series.
Once you pick this up you won't want to put it down until
you've finished it.
