The Cestus Deception: Star Wars Legends (Clone Wars) by Steven Barnes

"Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi strides--and soars and plots and duels--again in this stirring new addition to the Star Wars saga. . . . This splendid adventure yarn offers a gut-wrenching surprise on nearly every page and a knock-the-socks-off ending."--Publishers Weekly

When the economically depressed government of Ord Cestus threatens to sell incredibly deadly battle droids to the Separatists, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine dispatches a team led by Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi to the planet. Their mission: to halt the deal. A peaceful resolution is preferable, but if all else fails, the Republic will not hesitate to demonstrate the consequences of disloyalty by launching a full-scale attack--wiping out not only the means of biodroid production but countless lives as well. The prospect of such a slaughter only fuels Obi-Wan's growing suspicions about the sinister path the Republic seems to be taking. Facing a crisis of conscience, Obi-Wan must find the wisdom and strength to prevent a bloodbath and safeguard the Republic--while abiding by the ancient code to which he has pledged his life.

Steven Barnes, who was born in Los Angeles in 1952, began writing at the age of five and has since written over two million words. His first published collaboration, The Locusts, received a Hugo Award nomination in 1980, and his Outer Limits episode A Stitch In Time received a Cable Ace Award nomination and an Emmy for Amanda Plummer. He's also written a one-woman performance based on the life of Bessie Coleman (the first Black Aviatrix), contributed to Black Belt Magazine's Kung-Fu column (he holds dan levels in Judo and Karate), and hosted Hour 25, the world's longest-running science fiction radio show. Steven is working on a series of novels set on prehistoric Africa, for which he recently spent two weeks in Tanzania's Serengeti plain with his wife, novelist Tananarive Due, and their daughter Lauren Nicole.
