Random House Claudia Gray - Star Wars: Master And Apprentice cene

The New York Times bestseller

An unexpected offer threatens the bond between QuiGon Jinn and ObiWan Kenobi as the two Jedi navigate a dangerous new planet and an uncertain future.


A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force. But perhaps a Jedis most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained QuiGon Jinn; and now QuiGon has a Padawan of his own. But while QuiGon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice.

ObiWan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him. Why must QuiGon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi? Why is QuiGon drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasnt ObiWan told that QuiGon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Councilknowing it would mean the end of their partnership? The simple answer scares him: ObiWan has failed his Master.

When Jedi Rael Aveross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the Royal Court of Pijal for what may be their final mission together. What should be a simple assignment quickly becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in QuiGons mind. As QuiGons faith in prophecy grows, ObiWans faith in him is testedjust as a threat surfaces which will demand that Master and Apprentice come together as never before, or be divided forever.
