122/122. A quick read, but shines some light into the backround of what happened while Qui-gon and Obi-won
were traveling the universe. They meet Qui-gons old apprentice Xanatos who has his mind set on revenge. I recommend this book to star wars lovers. (

The Dark Rival by Jude Watson continues where Rising Force left off. Qui-Gon and Obi-wan arrive on the mining planet feeling that they have diffused the mining situation, for now. Qui-Gon recieves a disturbing note from his ex-apprentice Xanatos. We learn more about their troubled past as Obi-wan comes to terms with his use of the force and loss of his Jedi dream and Qui-Gon must deal with conflicts that he thought he could avoid.

Can acceptance that one may never be a great Jedi Knight but still may be a good person be the key to Obi-Wan's future?

The exciting tale begun in Jedi Apprentice: The Rising Force continues in Jedi Apprentice: The Dark Rival. While thankful for Obi-Wan's life-saving help on the trip to Bandomeer, Qui-Gon must put aside his mixed feelings over the young apprentice and take care of his peace mission. But he soon finds out that he's been tricked--not only did the planet's government not call for him, but the request may have come from his former-apprentice-gone-to-the-dark-side, the sinister Xanatos. Qui-Gon stays on Bandomeer to help rival mining companies there negotiate and to find out more about his fallen Padawan. Obi-Wan, of course, pitches in again, and the bond between the two grows. A few explosions, a couple of lightsaber fights, and a prison break later, the two ... well, you'll have to find out for yourself. (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes
