Stealth: Star Wars (Clone Wars Gambit) (Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Legends)
Fantasy author Miller joins the Star Wars universe with a two-part adventure featuring Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi. During the Clone Wars (between Episodes II and III), Anakin and Obi Wan, in command of the clone troops, travel across the galaxy to defend the Republic. In Stealth, the pair go undercover to a remote planet where strange rumors hint at a terrible weapon. Not only must they infiltrate the enemy outpost but they must also face down an old enemy and save the Republic from a massively destructive bioweapon. Miller uses her skill at character development to delve into Anakin’s psyche as he struggles with his love for Padme and his extreme sensitivity to the pain of others. In the limited scope provided in this kind of media tie-in book, Miller manages to excel at both creating action scenes and developing fully fleshed characters. The cliff-hanger ending will leave readers clamoring for the sequel. A must-read for Star Wars fans. --Jessica Moyer
