About this listen

“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.

"The successful military-SF team of Sherman and Cragg...brings new energy to the Star Wars franchise." (Publishers Weekly)

Featured Article: Bright Suns! On Star Wars, Fandom, and a Trip to the Galaxy's Edge


There’s a universality to the Star Wars franchise, a world so sprawling that no matter who you are, you’re bound to find something—an adventure, a moment, a character—that resonates with you. And if you were to ask any fan, they’d likely be able to recount a memory directly tied to the series. On a 2021 journey from the East Coast to the Outer Rim, one Audible editor and Star Wars superfan saw all of her wildest, most interstellar dreams become reality.

Not sure this should be called a Star Wars book...

This is one of the instances where I'm glad Disney revised the official canon. You'd think this is a book about Anakin Skywalker. Not sure that's true. This book is populated with C-List characters. Anakin doesn't do much. Dooku and Asajj are essentially absent. Clone troopers? Nope. This story focuses more on local militia troops, generals and Jedi we've never heard of before (or since). And don't forget the rodian, bounty hunter Grudo...

The narration is overall very good. He reads with lots of variation and inflection. But he does mispronounce certain words. "Padme" for instance, or "lived." Not a big issue, but sorta disappointing.

So, if you just want to hear a Star Wars audiobook, go for it. If you're looking for a cool Anakin or Asajj story (as you may assume from the cover), this may not be want you're looking for.

Fun read

Narrator was great. Not too heavy on the music either. Sometimes the music for productions of Star Wars can be overbearing but not here- perfectly done. The story was awesome too Anakin kicking butt in the true Clone Wars style seen on the hit show. The Characters Slake, Oddie, and Erk were cool especially Slake but the real Olympic champ would be KalCyon. That man was a reflection of what I would image true jedi's would be like.

Anyway I loved. That was fun!

It was okay.

Not really a viable part of the whole Star Wars story line. Didn’t really fit anywhere and didn’t really portray the personalities already given to each character. I got lost in the story line a few times and had to rewind. Might just be me but it didn’t keep my attention like most stories do.

Mediocre

Any book read my the legend Jonathan Davis is incredibly well recorded and performed. However, he didn’t have much to work with this book. The story was okay, very slow and not a lot of new lore you usually get with Star Wars books. It’s also hardly about Anakin and I’m not sure why it’s really called the trial because nothing officially happens. Just think of it as an episode of the clone wars.

ok

based on title I thought was Anakin's extension to the Jedi Order sorry was short not very developed nor did it at a different dimension really to the characters. but it was still a Star Wars book so enjoyed the piece of the puzzle into the mass of universe.

This was a good book!

Enjoyable, great story line! Awesome finish! They had great plots for everyone involved! Definitely one of my short favorites! I’m a huge fan I’m Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, before darth Vader, I hate when Anakin became the dark lord! Ruined the whole story for me! But that’s order stories and that future, but younger Skywalker and obi man I live there story’s and adventures!
