About this listen

 The Clone Wars have exploded across the galaxy as Republic forces and Separatists struggle to gain the upper hand. But while the Jedi generals work tirelessly to defeat Count Dooku and his rebels, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is hatching his own dark plans.

The Separatists have launched a sneak attack on Coruscant. Obi-Wan Kenobi, wounded in battle, insists that Anakin Skywalker and his rookie Padawan Ahsoka leave on a risky mission against General Grievous. But when Senator Bail Organa reveals explosive intelligence that could turn the tide of war in the Republic’s favor, the Jedi Master agrees to accompany him to an obscure planet on the Outer Rim to verify the facts. What Obi-Wan and Bail don’t realize is that they’re walking into a deadly trap concocted by Palpatine . . . and that escape may not be an option.

Inspired by the full-length animated feature film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the brand-new TV series, this thrilling adventure is filled with provocative, never-before-revealed insights into the characters of Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padme, Yoda, Count Dooku, and many other Star Wars favorites.©2008 Karen Miller; (P)2008 Random House Audio Adventure Fiction Genre Fiction Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins Science Fiction Space Opera Star Wars Fantasy Interstellar War Bounty Hunter

I almost didn't get this book because I'm not a fan of stories about clone soldiers. We've already been given our fill of that on TV. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this is far more a story about Obi-wan Kenobi and Bail Organa - with some extended cameos from characters like Anakin and Padme.

I loved it. If you like those characters too then I'd say this is worth your time. Stuff happens in this book, thanks to Sith manipulations. But, this book isn't really about the action, if that makes sense. It's about two people who really dislike each other suddenly having no choice but to work together. What do they learn about the other? How does that impact their world views? If a character study, on a mysterious planet sounds interesting then this one is for you.

Don't be out of by the misleading cover

not keen on this story.
maybe because Yoda's voice seemed to be wrong I don't know. but either way it wasn't as good as the first.
The whole part on the Sith planet is too much and the constant die jedi die is annoying to say the least.

Hmmmmm

This book tells a very interesting and very 'out there' story. You get to see a whole different side of Obi-wan Kenobi, one that you never thought you'd see before. It deviates from the war and focuses on a mystical world in wild space.

The issue I have with this book is that I'm not sure Bail Organa was the right companion for Kenobi. This was a chance to introduce and develop a new character, but Bail doesn't get that many stories, so I suppose he needed some development.

Also, I'm not sure why Rex and the clones are the focal point of the cover, since they literally only say a couple of lines in the whole book.
Other than that, it's an interesting story, especially after the first third. Surprisingly, Jeff Gurner does a pretty good impression of Yoda and Kenobi (that, or I just got used to it) so it's a nice listen!

Interesting story

The book is a bit of a slog. There are some really good saving graces, namely that the characterizations are very good and the narration is excellent. However, the book takes an age to really do anything and never quite justifies existing. The book is called wild space but we don't even get there until two thirds of the way in. The whole thing is a trap and allegedly set by Palpatine but he doesn't even do anything he just hopes that the sith temple and its existing holocons will do the job for him. the last 3rd of the book is Obi-Wan and bales logging over this deserted planet, which whilst good at making me see the camaraderie between the two of them, is just plain boring and repetitive. To be frank, this book isn't really about anything except two guys going off to a planet, crashing their ship, walking for a really long time and then going home.
All that said, the book is still quite a fun romp with some of the best characters from The clone wars and expands on a really interesting friendship with obi wan and bail organa. Palpatine's machinations are as suspenseful and scary as ever. It just could have done with being a bit shorter, and maybe with an actual living villain on the planet rather than just a holocron
All in all this is a good book that's worth a get but there are plenty others that you should probably get first.

Narrated well but drags on a bit
