5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book...Full of Suspense..., January 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Evil Experiment (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice, Book 12) (Paperback)

She's done it again! This book was great. Jude has caught me on the edge of my seat several times before, but this one put me there quicker than I can remember. When I recieved the book, I found myself jumping ecstaticly up and down, which is not particularly normal for me. That's what these books can do to you!

The book is about Obi-Wan Kenobi and his master, Qui-Gon Jinn, but there are a few sinister faces poking around. Who? A skilled bounty hunter and an evil(and extremely crazy)scientist who has captured Qui-Gon and is holding him hostage in a tank(full of some kind of gas). His blood is extracted daily, and he must use the force to make the scientist happy and get an hour of freedom each day. As he gets weaker, Obi-Wan hopes that Qui-Gon's friend, Didi, will live. Didi has been shot by a blaster that carried an infection of some sort. The healers at the Jedi Temple at first can not identify the infection, but then realize that the only antidote is carried by only one supplier-the scientist who invented the antidite. That scientist's lab has mysteriously closed down. No one knows the scientist's whereabouts at this point.

It is up to Obi-Wan and Didi's daughter Astri to evade the bounty hunter and find the scientist's secret lab(with some help from a couple of strange creatures)before it's too late for Didi and Qui-Gon. But if he should meet with the bounty hunter, will Obi-Wan be able to win the battle without Qui-Gon at his side? The bounty hunter is not about to forgive Obi-Wan about the injuries from their last meeting...

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Evil Experiment (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice, Book 12) (Paperback)

Qui-Gon has been captured by Jenna Zan Arbor, a twisted scientist on a quest to discover the secret behind the Force. She plans to slowly drain Qui-Gon of his blood until he weakens and dies. Obi-Wan is desperately searching for his master, and gets stuck investigating with Astri, the teenage daughter of the man Qui-Gon was captured trying to protect. Astri wants to find Jenna Zan Arbor just as bad as Obi-Wan, for Jenna is the only one with the medicine needed to save the life of Astri's dying father. This was an excellent addition to the Jedi Apprentice series, and a great improvement over #11, The Deadly Hunter, which was the previous book. I highly reccomend this book to all Star Wars fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Qui-Gon is trapped in an experiment that could end his life., March 23, 2001

This review is from: The Evil Experiment (Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice, Book 12) (Paperback)

Qui-Gon is being held prisoner by Jenna Zan Arbor, a scientist who plans to find out the secret of the force and will stop at nothing to do it, while she slowly drains his blood until he dies. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan is desperately searching for him with the help of Astri, the daughter of one of Qui-Gon's friends. Astri wants to find out who's behind this just as much as Obi-Wan because her father is dying, and he needs an antidote that only Zan Arbor can supply and because she needs the reward money that is on the bounty hunter's head. This book was way better than the previous one and I recommend it to all Star Wars fans.
