On the Outer Rim, the planet Lanteeb has no strategic value, no
political power, and one enormous problem: It has been invaded by an
emboldened Separatist Alliance. To find out why, Jedi Knights Anakin
Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi have snuck onto Lanteeb--and now look
oblivion in the eye. . . .
Hiding their lightsabers beneath their dusty disguises, Anakin and
Obi-Wan draw on their Jedi skills to stay one step ahead of Lok Durd's
droid army on Lanteeb. The Jedi know that a captive scientist has given
Durd the keys to a terrifying bioweapon. Durd knows that the Jedi are on
his planet. With Yoda calling on the powers of the Jedi Council, with a
new Separatist technology jamming the Guardians' communications, and
with a traitor at the heart of the Republic's government, the wheels of
war are turning. But the Separatists have blockaded Lanteeb. The
finishing touches are being put on a weapon to destroy whole worlds. And
it will be up to the two Jedi Knights and their most trusted comrades to
liberate Lanteeb or forever suffer the consequences.
