The Hidden Past

Dimitris Papastergiou

It was ok. Nothing to get too excited about but it's ok to read and pass the time.

Qui-Gon has finally accepted Obi-Wan as his apprentice. The two are supposed to head to the planet Gala to oversee their elections, but instead get hijacked to Phindar by a pair of brothers who want the Jedi to help prevent the artificial food and medial supply shortages that the rulers of their planet have imposed. Part of the ruling Syndicat's method of control is erasing the memories of any Phindarians who oppose them. There are some good scenes between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan that I enjoyed. Overall, this book suffers from what most of the series suffers from: Watson trying to do too much in too little space and thereby providing a very surface-level story.
