Devolving, essentially, into one long drawn out siege, this novel is what I would term a light read - it's perfectly competent (probably miles better than anything I could produce), moves along at a reasonable rate, throws one or two twists in but is also, ultimately, forgettable.
NB that's not to say that I didn't enjoy my time with it - I did - just that I'm not sure if it is a novel I would want to re-read at a later date.

The narrative of this book was full of suspense and surprises. It is pretty fast-paced, and the characters are being killed off quite quickly.

We see the beginning of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's relationship, and the conflict within it. In this novel, it was revealed that Qui-Gon WAS offered a position of Jedi Master. Qui-Gon doesn't accept right away, because it would mean that he couldn't have a padawan. They both go on what is thought to be their last mission together.
Obviously, you know how it shakes out, because Obi-Wan is Qui-Gon's padawan in Phantom Menace, but it's still an interesting and deeper look into both characters.
