Planet by planet, darkness creeps across the galaxy.
Among warriors and generals, among ordinary beings living in far-flung worlds, the fear will not go away: We are losing this war.
Anakin Skywalker feels it, too.
The Separatist Alliance, with ruthlessness and treachery, is beating the Republic to every strategic target.
But after a costly clash with General Grievous for the planet Kothlis, Anakin has a mission that will focus his anxious mind.
Alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi, he is posing as a long-lost native of Lanteeb, an impoverished world on the Outer Rim.
This seemingly unimportant planet has drawn the interest of the Seps--and Anakin and Obi-Wan soon discover the disturbing reason: A scientist enslaved by General Lok Durd is drawing on Lanteeb's one natural resource for a devastating bioweapon.
Now Anakin and Obi-Wan have entered the eye of a storm.
Their presence has been exposed, Lok Durd's plans unveiled, and a fight has begun for survival behind enemy lines--and a chance of winning a war that must be fought at any cost.
