This review is from: The Dangerous Games (Star Wars: Jedi Quest, Book 3) (Paperback)

Fourteen year old Anakin Skywalker has been a padawan for nearly six years, and in that time he has learned much, despite his lingering difficulties in controlling his anger. He and Obi-Wan are sent with two other Jedi teams, one containing Anakin's rival, on a fairly routine mission, to mediate and oversee the Galaxy Games (The Olympics, Star Wars style). It doesn't take Anakin long however, to discover another event going on, an illegal one. Podracing. To give away more of the plot would be a crime to this wonderful book, but let me just say that this one is most definatelly full of suprises. I read it in a few hours, and hated putting it down even for a minute. I recommend it to any and every Star Wars fan, young or old.

3.0 out of 5 stars Now this is Pod Racing... Again., July 28, 2003

This review is from: Star Wars: Jedi Quest #3: The Dangerous Games (AU Star Wars) (Audio CD)

This is a review of Jedi Quest Volume 3 DANGEROUS GAMES. Three Jedi teams are sent to a stone less planet that is ruled totally by 10 people. It is the time of galactic games like earths Olympics except done every 7 years. This planet was chosen for the games due to its high proportions of security personnel as the galaxy has become a more dangerous place recently. The Jedi has sent 3 teams of Jedi with their Padawan's for security. The 3 Padawans are Padawan Ferus (Padawan of Siri Tachi) Tru and Anakin.

Anakin had not seen a Pod Race since Tatooine, but racing action combines with intrigue to equal an enjoyable read.

The Jedi Quest series is primarily for readers aged 9 to 12 , and are the tale adventures of Obi-Wan and his Padawan, the future Darth Vader. I read them for their insights into these key SW characters and the fact that the books are fun. A pleasant surprise has been that these books are also available on Audio Cassette Unabridged. Watson is a good job weaving a story with some action and mystery to hold a readers attention while delving into the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin. Young Jedi Knights is another younger reader series written by Anderson and Moesta as well as the 18 book series called Jedi Apprentice about Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.

Another excellent Star Wars novel written by Jude Watson. She has a knack for keeping a reader interested in her stories and one can't seem to put it down until finished. I recommend all her books to SW fans.
