TPB, 5 1/4" x 7 1/2"

Jedi Knights Anakin and Obi-Wan, with Padawan Ahsoka, travel to the planet Taloraan in hopes of gaining some useful allies for the Republic. But the two ruling groups on the planet are not particularly interested in making a treaty—the Defrandi are already more sympathetic toward the Separatists, and the Wind Raiders are simply unfriendly to everyone!

It may be a merely impossible mission for the Jedi, or one that might end in disaster!

• Inspired by the new film and television show The Clone Wars.

• The Dark Horse series Star Wars: The Clone Wars are designed to be “parent friendly” and should be a staple of any Younger Readers graphic-novel section!

But his days as a renegade won’t end there! Zayne’s search for justice will continue to Coruscant, where he’ll confront his Master, Lucien Draay, and the members of the Jedi Covenant in a showdown that will end his days as a fugitive in one way . . . or another.

• Combined sales of the first four volumes of the Dark Horse Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series have reached over 75,000 copies!
