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

Product Description

Planet by planet, darkness creeps across the galaxy. Among warriors and generals, among ordinary beings living in far-flung worlds, the fear will not go away: We are losing this war._ . . . _

Anakin Skywalker feels it, too. The Separatist Alliance, with ruthlessness and treachery, is beating the Republic to every strategic target. But after a costly clash with General Grievous for the planet Kothlis, Anakin has a mission that will focus his anxious mind. Alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi, he is posing as a long-lost native of Lanteeb, an impoverished world on the Outer Rim. This seemingly unimportant planet has drawn the interest of the Seps—and Anakin and Obi-Wan soon discover the disturbing reason: A scientist enslaved by General Lok Durd is drawing on Lanteeb’s one natural resource for a devastating bioweapon. Now Anakin and Obi-Wan have entered the eye of a storm. Their presence has been exposed, Lok Durd’s plans unveiled, and a fight has begun for survival behind enemy lines—and a chance of winning a war that must be fought at any cost.
