The Approaching Storm by Alan Dean Foster

3.0

I didn't think that this was that bad of a book. I have seen some negative reviews of it. It's better than Jedi Trial. The plot involves Obi-Wan, Anakin and the Jedi Luminara and her student going to Ansion to try and prevent them from seceding from the Republic. It's more political based as are a few books from that point in the timeline. I don't mind the politics; I think the overall scheme of the Sith is quite complicated and interesting. The book is interspersed with some action; usually involving the Jedi getting through the many obstacles that get in their way. Overall it is a pretty good story, but not really an essential SW book. It provides some insight to the events prior to Episode 2 as well as the buildup of the separatist movement. Not bad.
