There is a great disturbance in the Force...From the sleek ships of
the glimmering Coruscant skyscape to the lush gardens of pastoral
Naboo, dissent is roiling. The Republic is failing, even under the
leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, elected ten years
earlier to save the crumbling government. Separatists threaten war,
and the Senate is hopelessly divided, unable to determine whether
to raise an army for battle or keep the fragile peace. Anakin
Skywalker has come of age in a time of great upheaval. The
nineteen-year-old apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi is an enigma to the
Jedi Council, and a challenge to his Jedi Master. Time has not
dulled Anakin's ambition, nor has his Jedi training tamed his
independent streak. When an attempt on Senator Padme Amidala's life
brings them together for the first time in ten years, it is clear
that time also has not dulled Anakin's intense feelings for the
beautiful diplomat. The attack on Senator Amidala just before a
crucial vote thrusts the Republic even closer to the edge of
disaster. Masters Yoda and Mace Windu sense enormous unease. The
dark side is growing, clouding the Jedi's perception of the events.
But even as the Republic falters around them, Anakin and Padme find
a connection so intense that all else begins to fall away. Anakin
will lose himself - and his way - in emotions a Jedi, sworn to hold
allegiance only to the Order, is forbidden to have.
