**NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The Republic has fallen. Sith Lords rule
the galaxy. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi has lost everything . . .
everything but hope.
**
Tatooine--a harsh desert world where farmers toil in the heat of two
suns while trying to protect themselves and their loved ones from the
marauding Tusken Raiders. A backwater planet on the edge of civilized
space. And an unlikely place to find a Jedi Master in hiding, or an
orphaned infant boy on whose tiny shoulders rests the future of a
galaxy.
Known to locals only as "Ben," the bearded and robed offworlder is an
enigmatic stranger who keeps to himself, shares nothing of his past, and
goes to great pains to remain an outsider. But as tensions escalate
between the farmers and a tribe of Sand People led by a ruthless war
chief, Ben finds himself drawn into the fight, endangering the very
mission that brought him to Tatooine.
Ben--Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, hero of the Clone Wars, traitor to the
Empire, and protector of the galaxy's last hope--can no more turn his
back on evil than he can reject his Jedi training. And when blood is
unjustly spilled, innocent lives threatened, and a ruthless opponent
unmasked, Ben has no choice but to call on the wisdom of the Jedi--and
the formidable power of the Force--in his never-ending fight for
justice.
