In the Outer Rim, the earth Lanteeb has no strategic value, simply no political power, and one enormous problem: It has been invaded by an emboldened Separatist Alliance. To learn why, Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi have snuck onto Lanteeb-and right now appear oblivion in the eye . .

Hiding their lightsabers beneath their dusty disguises, Anakin and Obi-Wan draw on the Jedi skills to remain one step before Lok Durd’s droid army on Lanteeb. The Jedi know that a captive scientist offers provided Durd the keys to a terrifying bioweapon. Durd knows that the Jedi are on his planet. With Yoda contacting the powers of the Jedi Council, with a fresh Separatist technology jamming the Guardians’ marketing communications, and having a traitor at the heart from the Republic’s government, the wheels of war are turning. But the Separatists have blockaded Lanteeb. The completing touches are becoming placed on a weapon to destroy whole worlds. And it’ll depend on the two Jedi Knights and their most trusted comrades to liberate Lanteeb or forever suffer the results.
