The Clone Wars:
Wild Space |
The Official Star Wars Site has announced the latest book entitled
The Clone Wars: Wild Space. 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 in 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 escape may not be an option.
Inspired by the full-length animated feature film Star Wars: The Clone
Wars and brand new TV series, this thrilling adventure is filled with
provocative, never-before-revealed insights into the characters of OBi-Wan,
Anakin, Padmé, Yoda, Count Dooku and many other Star Wars favorites. This
new trade paperback novel by Karen Miller is due out in December from Del Rey
Books. |
