    About this audiobook

    Within twenty-four standard hours we will sit firmly astride the communications link that connects the worlds of the Republic. . . . Our control will be a dagger thrust directly at Coruscant. This is the move that will win the war for us.

    With these ominous words, Pors Tonith, ruthless minion of Count Dooku, declares the fate of the Republic sealed. Commanding a Separatist invasion force more than one million strong, the cunning financier-turned-warrior lays siege to the planet Praesitlyn, home of the strategic intergalactic communications center that is key to the Republic's survival in the Clone Wars. Left unchallenged, this decisive strike could indeed pave the way for the toppling of more Republic worlds . . . and ultimate victory for the Separatists. Retaliation must be swift and certain.

    But engaging the enemy throughout the galaxy has already stretched Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's armies to the limit. There is no choice but to move against the surging waves of invading battle-droids on Praesitlyn with only a small contingent of clone soldiers. Commanding them will be Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon-hand-picked by the Council for the do-or-die mission. And at his side, skilled young starfighter pilot Anakin Skywalker, a promising young Jedi Padawan eager to be freed of the bonds of apprenticeship-and to be awarded the title of Jedi Knight.

    Shoulder to shoulder with a rogue Republic army officer and his battle-hardened crew, a hulking Rondian mercenary with an insatiable taste for combat, and a duo of ready-for-anything soldiers, the Jedi generals take to the skies and the punishing desert terrain of occupied Praesitlyn-to bring the battle to the Separatist forces. Already outnumbered and outgunned, when confronted with an enemy ultimatum that could lead to the massacre of innocents, they may also be out of options. Unless Anakin Skywalker can strike a crucial balance between the wisdom born of the Force . . . and the instincts of a born warrior.

      Jonathon Davis is always amazing about bring books to life. The authors must be proud.
    • 4/5
      Star Wars: Jedi Trial is the story of Anakin Skywalker's trials to become a full fledged Jedi knight. The book has the feel of Star Wars Episode II as well as Episode I in the sense that the action and the characters are familiar. There are several new characters, like Asajj Ventress, who puts in a cameo along with the more well known ones. The fight sequences feel more real and intense than some other Star Wars novels as does the carnage left in there wake. An over all entertaining story. For prequel trilogy style fun and adventure, try Star Wars: Jedi Trial (A Clone Wars Novel).
    • 3/5
      This was not one of my favorites, the beginning was alright as Anakin starts to build a friendship with a recently disgraced Jedi Master, but even that never really grabbed my attention. The characters I found most interesting were Lieutenant Erk H'Arman and Odie Subu and their struggle to stay alive and together through a battle field. As it gets towards the middle, the book starts dripping with military technical jargon for instance a whole page is about how much water the republic troops need and how much they don't have and what their trying to do about it, another has a protocol droid listing what military aid functions he's capable of for a page and a half, it was not interesting and in my opinion it wasn't necessary at all.I do like however that the book shows that the wrong choices can be and are sometimes made in a battle even by someone who is supposed to know what their doing, and I also liked how Anakins future potential is shown in the final battle with him being an unstoppable one-man army.

      My thoughts on Jedi Trial are mixed. The authors have created an interesting plot and backstories for characters. This time, the plot has a sense of importance to the war lacking from earlier entries. There's no obvious storyline continuity violations. They managed to portray Anakin without any out-of-place ominous foreshadowing. The book, overall, is fast-paced, if not quite gripping enough to be termed a "page-turner." At the same time, the story is bogged down in places by the style, where things are unnecessarily explained and professional soldiers come across as immature. The characters, especially those new to the story, are little better than archetypes. Some (notably Neeja Halcyon and the battle droids) are inconsistent with their earlier appearances. There's too much name-dropping, be it inappropriate (the starfighter Azure Angel) or simply illogical (Jawa). There's a relatively major technology continuity violation whose sole purpose is to allow a pseudodeath (thankfully revealed in the next chapter). And Stephen D. Anderson still hasn't relearned how to avoid an overly busy cover. Unfortunately these quibbles, while mostly minor, are constant and thus detract from the work as a whole. It doesn't help that the book is short, either—it appears to clock in at perhaps two-thirds the length of the earlier hardcover Clone Wars offerings. What could've been the best entry is reduced to simply middling.
    • 2/5
      This book is almost comically (or perhaps I should say cosmically) bad. The plot, where there is one, is highly predictable (Qui-Gon's voice stopping Anakin from committing murder is the laziest sort of plot device--after all, if it can happen in this story, why not later?); the characters, by and large, are poorly drawn, one-dimensional, and poorly motivated; and the dialogue is atrocious.The one saving grace for this book is the character of Anakin Skywalker. Finally, here we have an Anakin who seems capable of transforming into the Darth Vader we all know and love. He's excitable, volatile, and raw, but also very skilled and competent. It was a rare glimpse at the kind of Jedi we're always told he was--just absurdly (yet believably) talented, to the point of being fearsome (even for those he was fighting for). This portrayal of Anakin is the one thing that keeps this book from being a complete waste of time.
