NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An unexpected offer threatens the bond between Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi as the two Jedi navigate a dangerous new planet and an uncertain future in the first canon Star Wars novel to take place before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force. But perhaps a Jedi’s most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a Padawan of his own. But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice.
Obi-Wan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him. Why must Qui-Gon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi? Why is Qui-Gon drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasn’t Obi-Wan told that Qui-Gon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Council—knowing it would mean the end of their partnership? The simple answer scares him: Obi-Wan has failed his Master.
When Jedi Rael Averross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the royal court of Pijal for what may be their final mission together. What should be a simple assignment quickly becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in Qui-Gon’s mind. As Qui-Gon’s faith in prophecy grows, Obi-Wan’s faith in him is tested—just as a threat surfaces that will demand that Master and apprentice come together as never before, or be divided forever.

As ever, after a mission, Qui-Gon had been summoned to the Jedi Council’s chambers for his report. It was nighttime—later than the Council usually met, at least for ordinary business—and the darkness around them was illuminated by the cyclone of Coruscanti traffic and ships’ lights. Yet here, within this room, a sense of serenity prevailed. Qui-Gon relished the contrast.
Master Billaba leaned forward, studying her datapad with a frown on her face. “It worries me, this misunderstanding between you and your Padawan. This isn’t the first time you’ve reported such difficulties.”
Qui-Gon bowed his head slightly. “It worries me as well. Obi-Wan is strong in the Force, and eager to do his duty. The failure must be mine. Fundamentally, I fear, we are a mismatch. I’ve been unable to adapt my teaching methods to his needs, despite my best efforts.”
Yoda cocked his head. “Adapt he must as well. Cooperation is learned not through individual effort. Only together can you progress.”
Agreeing to that proposition—sensible though it was—would mean shifting some of the blame onto Obi-Wan, which Qui-Gon preferred not to do. He simply remained quiet. The Jedi Council had a habit of assuming that silence equaled agreement; Qui-Gon had found this habit useful, from time to time.
Regardless, he expected the Council to eventually ask him if he wanted them to reassign Obi-Wan’s training to another Master. He’d known before this meeting began that they might even ask the question tonight, but he still wasn’t sure what he would say. The suspense seemed worse than he would’ve anticipated, maybe because he didn’t know what he wanted to answer . . .
. . . or because the silence in the room had lasted a suspiciously long period of time.
Qui-Gon focused his attention back on the Masters surrounding him. They were exchanging glances in what seemed to be anticipation. He straightened. “Have you another mission for us?” Maybe they intended to test him and Obi-Wan one more time before any decision about reassignment would be made.
“Yes, another task for you we have.” Yoda’s ears lowered, a sign of deep intent. “Consider it carefully, you must.”
Mace Windu drew himself upright and folded his hands together in a formal gesture of respect. “You may not have heard that Master Dapatian intends to retire from the Council, effective next month.”
Qui-Gon glanced at Poli Dapatian, a Master of great renown . . . so much so that Qui-Gon had failed to note, in recent years, how aged he had become. “That is our loss.”
“We hope it will also be our gain,” Mace replied. “Qui-Gon Jinn, we hereby offer you a seat on the Jedi Council.”
Had he misheard? No, he hadn’t. Qui-Gon slowly gazed around the circle, taking in the expressions of each Council member in turn. Some of them looked amused, others pleased. A few of them, Yoda included, appeared more rueful than not. But they were serious.
“I admit—you’ve surprised me,” Qui-Gon finally said.
“I imagine so,” Mace said drily. “A few years ago, we would’ve been astonished to learn we would ever consider this. But in the time since, we’ve all changed. We’ve grown. Which means the possibilities have changed as well.”
Qui-Gon took a moment to collect himself. Without any warning, one of the turning points of his life had arrived. Everything he said and did in the next days would be of great consequence. “You’ve argued with my methods often as not, or perhaps you’d say I’ve argued with yours.”
“Truth, this is,” Yoda said.
Depa Billaba gave Yoda a look Qui-Gon couldn’t interpret. “It’s also true that the Jedi Council needs more perspectives.”
Is the Council actually making sense? Qui-Gon hoped none of them had picked up on that thought.
Mace nodded. “Yes, Qui-Gon, we’ve disagreed often. Butted heads, even. But you’ve always acted with respect for the Council’s authority, without compromising your inner convictions. This shows a great gift for—”
“Diplomacy?” Qui-Gon asked.
Mace replied, “I was going to say balance.”
It was a delicate line to walk, one Qui-Gon had stumbled over on many occasions. But those occasions had become rarer as the years went on. He’d learned how to handle the Council well enough. Now, it seemed, the Council had become ready to hear him in return.
Qui-Gon had never imagined sitting on the Jedi Council itself, at least not since he was a youngling. Dooku had chuckled once, early in Qui-Gon’s training, when they spoke of the Council. “You have your own mind, my Padawan,” he’d said. “The Council doesn’t always respond well to that.” Given how many times Qui-Gon had clashed with the Council—from his earliest days as a Jedi Knight up to six weeks ago—he’d always assumed that he would never ascend to the heights of the Order.
But now it could happen. Would happen. He’d be able to weigh in on the Council’s decisions, and perhaps create some of the change he wanted to see. It was the greatest opportunity of his life.
“You honor me,” Qui-Gon said. “I ask for some time to meditate upon this before I accept.” Of course he would take the seat on the Council. But in doing so, he wanted to more fully reflect upon how this would change him, and the breadth of the important role he would assume.
“Very wise,” said Depa. “Most of those asked to join the Council do the same, myself included. If someone didn’t—well, I’d think maybe he didn’t know what he was getting into.”
Laughter went around the room. Amusement bubbled within Poli Dapatian’s respirator mask. Depa Billaba’s grin was infectious, and Qui-Gon realized he was smiling back at her. Although the Council had never been hostile to him, this was the first time Qui-Gon had felt a deeper camaraderie—the friendliness of equals. Already Teth and the Hutts seemed like a problem from years ago. The future shone so boldly that it threatened to eclipse the present.
Steady, he told himself. Even an invitation to the Jedi Council mustn’t go to your head.
“Consider carefully, you must,” said Yoda, the only member of the Council who remained gravely serious. “No hasty answer should you give.”
“Of course,” Qui-Gon said. Hadn’t he just indicated that he intended to do exactly that?
Before he could think more on it, Mace said, “In some ways, this invitation comes at an opportune time. This change could, potentially, resolve other problems.”
Only then did it hit Qui-Gon: If he took a seat on the Council, then Obi-Wan would be transferred to another Master.
Master Billaba leaned forward, studying her datapad with a frown on her face. “It worries me, this misunderstanding between you and your Padawan. This isn’t the first time you’ve reported such difficulties.”

- Reviewed in Canada on March 11, 2023Verified PurchaseLenovo is one of my favourite characters and is now even more so. This is excellent story telling.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 22, 2024Verified PurchaseGives some pretty good context of the Qui-Gon / Obi-Wan relation. Especially love the "flashbacks" sequences with Jinn's former master Dooku. Story is true to everyone's personality. Recommend !
- Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2019Verified PurchaseNow to be fair, I haven't finished it yet. But so far the story is engaging and very enjoyable. The book is a decent size and is the first hardcover where the dust jacket didn't drive me insane, so kudos on the design, I guess. It's got a good heft and, of course, it's about two of my favourite Star Wars characters. Can't wait to dive into it again.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2019Verified PurchaseAlthough the backdrop and side characters feel inconsequential in the grand scheme of the Star Wars universe, this book serves as a nice early story of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. We learn a little about their relationship as master and padawan and that's the best part about this story. Overall a good story.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 7, 2020Verified PurchasePretty nice book. Interesting to see Dooku and Qui-Gon together. We understand more the relation of Obi-Wan and Qui Gon. I loved how it ending. A nice Star wars book for every fans.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 7, 2019Verified PurchaseWe gave this book to our grandson who is a Star Wars fanatic. He was absolutely thrilled! It is also a hard cover book.
recommended for anyone who is big into Star Wars.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 27, 2020Verified PurchaseClaudia Gray has done a GREAT job of enriching the relationship between Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan, several years before the events of The Phantom Menace. It's an interesting and engaging little adventure yarn which I won't bother spoiling. Needless to say it touches on and spins some familiar scenarios featured in TPM. There are interesting and new side characters that give some weight and consequence to the story. I feel like they could have been fleshed out a bit more as each of their stories was quite interesting also. As it is they are just a bit more than serviceable to the plot. Interspersed throughout are flashbacks to Qui-Gon's days as a Padawan under Count Dooku offering insight into the influence prophecy had on the fate of both of them. This is a book that can be well enjoyed by even the most casual fan. Ms. Grays prose is efficient and moving. Wholeheartedly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars There are some important details about the jedi order and the knowledge of some prophecies
Verified PurchaseThis book is awesome! Since the first pages you feel hooked to the plot and then you have to read more soon because you need to know more about it. The writing is so intriguing you will read it in the blink of an eye. I love Claudia Gray's writing so much!!

5.0 out of 5 stars How did Obi-Wan come to hate flying?
Verified PurchaseIf you have ever wondered about it, read this novel.
It is an Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon novel, but make no mistake - this is an Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon novel from Qui-Gon's point of view (for the most part). The title could refer to them or another Master-Padawan pair, or simply refer to a single character. There in lies the beauty of it.
I read 'Lost Stars' first and liked Claudia Gray's writing style, and immediately started this one. While 'Master and Apprentice' doesn't quite achieve that level of masterful storytelling in the galaxy we have come to love, it nevertheless is an intriguing tale and a total page-turner. Two novels in, I feel Gray does a better job writing new characters, and her understanding of the lore sometimes feels a tad lacking, but she still manages to retain the essence of the old characters and the world in moments where it counts.
The twist, while not a total shock, was well done. The novel gets better as it goes on, and in quite a few ways serves to enhance our understanding of events that we know will unfold.

5.0 out of 5 stars STAR WARS MASTER & APPRENTICE
Verified PurchaseI found this book very brilliant to read, the fact that it's not just Qui-Gon-Jinn but it's also a massive story line as if it's like, who is the murderer? sort of thing, anyway Obi-Wan-Kenobi is up-to date to, as he has the look of Ewan McGregor in the 39-40 BBY, eight years prior to Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. And Qui-Gon-Jinn has something to hide from his Padawan, yet it all begins on the Planet Teth where Qui-Gon-Jinn and Obi-Wan-Kenobi are still not in sync with each other, Qui-Gon-Jinn still thinks that he needs more training, where as it's easier for him to focus in between fire shots in a battle. Obi-Wan-Kenobi is slightly more off guard and slower than his Master we find out that they are after Wanbo The Hutt, that is they threaten him and plan to take the Crime Lord back to Couracant, that is until his Majordomo. Comes into it, Thurible, and has Qui-Gon-Jinn's Padawan at gun-point, swapping back around and shaking hands on it, and putting matters aside, the Jedi Council back on Couracant does have news for Qui-Gon-Jinn, that is if he will take this one in a life time pleasure. for Qui-Gon-Jinn to be seated on the Jedi Council, he is not sure for if he does this, then he loses Obi-Wan-Kenobi, yet he does want to be seated on the Jedi Council, yet the Jedi Council asks Qui-Gon-Jinn and Obi-Wan-Kenobi that they have a final mission together to be in sync for their bond is not good, and that is to go to Pijal. Where it has been under attacked by an unknown terrorist group, but the Jedi Council hasn't asked them of it, an old friend of Count Dooku's, first Padawan, and Qui-Gon-Jinn's, who is older now and his name is Rael Aveross, Former Jedi Knight and Regent to the next heir to Phijal's throne, that is Princess Fanry. Who is fourteen years old, but Rael Aveross thinks Halin Azukka is the Oposition who are the terrorists, trying to attack the Princess, and requires Qui-Gon-Jinn's help, other than that, you will notice that there are four or five (I didn't count them) Before moments when Qui-Gon-Jinn is fourteen years old-fifteen years old as his missions are in wars and terrorists threats. But mainly, he is inspired with prophecies of the force, both Sith and "the Chocen One" but Count Dooku to take him on as his second Padawan, is intrigued as well, we can tell why! But Rael Aveross is a young Jedi Knight who helps Qui-Gon-Jinn, these are good moments to read. You also have jewel thieves on the Meryx, you have, Rhara Wick, who was on the Planet Hosnian Prime, and at the age of five, she ended mining on the Hosnian Facilities, that is until Czerka Corporation ended blasted down on the miners and caught them as slaves.
Rhara Wick ran away, as far as she could and met, Pax Miripher who on Couracant, as a kid was in an open locker and was raised by eighty-two, or eighty-eight droids and ended up speaking like one, but mainly cared for Rhara, and after leaving Alderann, they were usally heading for Rodia to get paid. But thought to go to Pijal and get a Kyber Crystal, yet there is a plan to get rid of the Princess, and in a few days, Queen Fanry but who is it out of many characters, well you will see as a good read, At least Count Dooku comes in now and again and you get to know more about Rael Aveross as well. And how Count Dooku was as a teacher and why Qui-Gon-Jinn was interested in all these prophecies, just to tell readers that I like to put in my reviews, the names of all the Planets, but mostly the main Planets and the the Characters, with their background, just in case anybody is confused about it.
