On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

Story
An unauthorized look at the philosophical issues raised by popular television show House. House was one of the top three television dramas on the air, pulling in more than 19 million viewers for each episode. This latest book in the popular Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series takes a deeper look at the characters and issues raised in this Emmy Award-winning medical drama, offering entertaining answers to the fascinating ethical questions viewers have about Dr. Gregory House and his medical team.
Summary
The Republic is decaying, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who was elected to save the galaxy from collapsing under the forces of discontent.
On the tiny but strategic planet of Ansion, a powerful faction is on the verge of joining the growing secessionist movement. At the Chancellor's request, the Jedi Council sends two Jedi Knights, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli, along with their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee, to stabilize the planet's population. To succeed, the Jedi will have to fulfill near-impossible tasks, befriend wary strangers, and influence two great armies - stalked all the while by an enemy sworn to see the negotiations collapse and the mission fail.

Scintillating and Fantastic Star Wars tale!
This audiobook was expertly read by a superb narrator. Alexander Adams' voice was unique but compelling to follow intensely for the duration of the story. The characters' voices were done with excellence and panache. He is one of the good narrators but I have heard of other better narrators. The story was easy to follow with a great deal of drama and action. The sound effects were plentiful and top notch. It featured a good deal of alien imaginary cultures. The only snag with this audiobook is that it was an abridged version of the novel. It would have been a thousand times better if it was unabridged. Overall, a wonderful audio experience

Stop abridging these books!
The Star Wars books are amazing and full of small details that may make more sense in later stories. But when the books are abridged you miss many of the details. What is the point of abridging them?? And why do we pay the same price for a book that is 3 hours as apposed to a non abridged book that last twice as long? I'll admit I have listened to many abridged Star Wars books, only because I've listened to practicly all of the non abridged books. I've had to resort to listening to the abridged books now, and it makes me angry every time I pay so much for a partial book. Please stop ruining these stories!!

The Mission Before Episode II
This was a nice book. The story takes place immediately before Attack of the Clones, and has Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker attempting to prevent a system from seceding from the Republic alongside Luminara Unduli and Bariss Offee. The characters have some interesting moments, and the interactions feel genuine. However, if you are hoping for a grand story, this isn't the book for you. The conflict is major, though its solution is minor, and the book pads out the short mission by having the Jedi travel through the wilderness. Not much happens throughout the novel, and the antagonists are quite forgettable. If not for the Jedi cast it could've been dropped. It's a shame nothing of value really happened, because putting a cast of Jedi in a mission right before the eruption of the Clone Wars could have been far more interesting and fun. The narrator was good, but his performance wasn't as good as some other narrators. Not to say he was bad, because he wasn't. But someone like Marc Thompson or Jonathan Davis would have made it a little more enjoyable.

A solid new entry into the GFFA
While not ground-breaking, this was a sold entry into the Galaxy Far Far Away. Unlike the usual slog that one might expect from Troy Denning of Kevin J. Anderson, Alan Dean Foster shows how to write a good novel with actual characters that works on several levels of government without being a ponderous lecture. Foster shows his understanding of the Jedi being on par with that of Dave Filoni of the Clone Wars and Rebels shows.
