Synopsis:
THE HUNT FOR DARTH SIDIOUS
The war that erupted in Star Wars:
Episode II Attack of the Clones is nearing
its boiling point, as the dauntless Separatist forces
continue their assault on the teetering Republic–and
the diabolical triumvirate of Count Dooku, General
Grievous, and their Master, Darth Sidious, fine-tune
their strategy for conquest. In Episode III Revenge of
the Sith the fates of key players on both sides of the
conflict will be sealed. But first, crucial events that
pave the way to that time of reckoning unfold in a
labyrinth of evil...
Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy and Separatist
Council member Nute Gunray, is the mission that brings
Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with a
squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia. But the
treacherous ally of the Sith proves as slippery as ever,
evading his Jedi pursuers even as they narrowly avoid
deadly disaster. Still, their daring efforts yield an
unexpected prize: a unique holotransceiver that bears
intelligence capable of leading the Republic forces to
their ultimate quarry, the ever-elusive Darth Sidious.
Swiftly taking up the chase, Anakin and Obi-Wan follow
clues from the droid factories of Charros IV to the
far-flung worlds of the Outer Rim... every step bringing
them closer to pinpointing the location of the Sith
Lord, whom they suspect has been manipulating every
aspect of the Separatist rebellion. Yet somehow, in the
escalating galaxy-wide chess game of strikes,
counterstrikes, ambushes, sabotage, and retaliations,
Sidious stays constantly one move ahead.
Then the trail takes a shocking turn. For Sidious and
his minions have set in motion a ruthlessly orchestrated
campaign to divide and overwhelm the Jedi forces and
bring the Republic to its knees.
