Summary

Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker star in this thrilling galactic adventure set three years after the events of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

When a Republic spy goes missing on the Moons of Varl, the Jedi Council asks Obi-Wan and Anakin to infiltrate an underground podracing circuit run by a crime boss believed to be holding the spy prisoner. With Anakin posing as a hotshot racer and Obi-Wan as his attendant, tensions between the two threaten to run even higher than usual.

But when Obi-Wan is forced to leave Varl, Anakin is on his own as he faces a series of increasingly treacherous races that will determine his fate—and that of the spy.

Master and apprentice must use all their Jedi skills in this action-packed tale of cutthroat competition, deadly deception, and, ultimately, what it means to be a Padawan.

Fun early Anakin and Obi-Wan romp

Really enjoyed this for what it was. Gives you an insight into the post episode 1 Anakin and Obi-Wan dynamic. Well narrated and fun.

A super listen that fits with continuity.

A well written and well read story that fits right in with all things Star Wars.
I enjoyed the characters and the way the narrator brought them to life in this audiobook and look forward to more with interest.

It was ok

Overall I enjoyed it.

I've seen others complaining about sound effects, I certainly didn't experince any of that, maybe because I was listening with headphone.
It was noticable it wasn't the usual starwars music i've heard in other starwars books, it was "in the style of" rather than being what I would call "licenced sound effects".
But it was a story that was self contained without really teaching you anything new.

Great narrator. Decent story

We all love Marc Thompson. But, it was refreshing to hear a new voice with such a different take. Really enjoyed the book all the more. The story is ok. It's pretty short and feels a little like Disney wanted to account for why no-one of the Skywalker-era Jedi ever mentioned the Nameless from the High-Republic era.

Not essential fare. But a nice way to while away some time and the sound design is excellent. The main threat is also pretty creepy.

Pod racing was cool

A bit of a drag and hard to follow in some places as it couldn't really grab my attention. The main threat is very cool however, as well as some really good characterisation of anakin during a mostly unknown period of his life.
There is actually a continuity error also as a character called squib has a line well after he is taken away.
