Book Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - An unexpected offer threatens the bond between Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi as the two Jedi navigate a dangerous new planet and an uncertain future in the first canon Star Wars novel to take place before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force. But perhaps a Jedi's most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a Padawan of his own. But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice. Obi-Wan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him. Why must Qui-Gon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi? Why is Qui-Gon drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasn't Obi-Wan told that Qui-Gon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Council--knowing it would mean the end of their partnership? The simple answer scares him: Obi-Wan has failed his Master. When Jedi Rael Averross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the royal court of Pijal for what may be their final mission together. What should be a simple assignment quickly becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in Qui-Gon's mind. As Qui-Gon's faith in prophecy grows, Obi-Wan's faith in him is tested--just as a threat surfaces that will demand that Master and apprentice come together as never before, or be divided forever.Review Quotes
"Gray's other Star Wars novels--Lost Stars, Bloodline and Leia: Princess of Alderaan--are among the best you can read, but Master & Apprentice stands out as her strongest."--CNET "Thankfully, the novel absolutely delivers on the goods and the wait has been worth it."--Cinelinx
"Master & Apprentice proves--again--that Claudia Gray 'gets' Star Wars."--Dork Side of the Force
"Gray has not only written her finest novel to date in my opinion, but certainly one of the finest canon novels as well, maybe the finest."--The Force

This book dives deep into the relationship between Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi. We get to see how they allowed their different world-views create a barrier between them; which proves to be an obstacle that they are forced to overcome. Claudia Gray has written a spectacular novel that is full of relational highs and lows, the ever struggle between morals, and a conspiracy that is deeply wound. Along with Jinn and Kenobi, Gray has brought to life some amazing characters and entities tastefully expand the Star Wars lore.
