Summary
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The Republic has fallen. Sith Lords rule the galaxy. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi has lost everything . . . everything but hope.

Tatooine—a harsh desert world where farmers toil in the heat of two suns while trying to protect themselves and their loved ones from the marauding Tusken Raiders. A backwater planet on the edge of civilized space. And an unlikely place to find a Jedi Master in hiding, or an orphaned infant boy on whose tiny shoulders rests the future of a galaxy.

Known to locals only as “Ben,” the bearded and robed offworlder is an enigmatic stranger who keeps to himself, shares nothing of his past, and goes to great pains to remain an outsider. But as tensions escalate between the farmers and a tribe of Sand People led by a ruthless war chief, Ben finds himself drawn into the fight, endangering the very mission that brought him to Tatooine.

Ben—Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, hero of the Clone Wars, traitor to the Empire, and protector of the galaxy’s last hope—can no more turn his back on evil than he can reject his Jedi training. And when blood is unjustly spilled, innocent lives threatened, and a ruthless opponent unmasked, Ben has no choice but to call on the wisdom of the Jedi—and the formidable power of the Force—in his never-ending fight for justice.

I really enjoyed this book. Really give you a mental picture of what Kenobi has to do when he arrived on Tattooine.

good book think it could use a bit more action but other than that it's a good story for the time period for obi wan Kenobi journey in exile

Story took seemingly forever to develop, but ended well.

It's like a western. A mysterious stranger rides into town, known only as "Ben". The widowed storekeeper takes an immediate liking to him. The storekeeper's son has fallen in with a gang of local outlaws led by a suitor to the storekeeper's affections. It's up to the stranger to restore law and order to this rugged desert town while maintaining the secret of his past. There's good, bad, and ugly with a showdown at the end. This is an immediate follow-up to Revenge of the Sith, and even though this is an Expanded Universe/Legends book, it still works really well if you're into the modern Star Wars canon. Highly recommended, especially if you're into stories about drifters who wander into town with nothing but his piece and a sense of justice. Except, in this case, the stranger isn't exactly mysterious to the reader now, is he?

For something that is just a fluff filler book, this story is wonderful read and written. I wish that Disney would canonize this story because it is an interesting introspective look at Obi Wan after the fall of the Republic. With Davis reading, it feels smooth seeing the transition of Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi to the hermit in A New Hope.

Good storytelling and it's a little slow, I'm hoping it picks up soon. How the show on Disney + is awesome!

This was really a great story and I believe that it also had great characters.

Profile Avatar Margarita A. Dec 2020

Slow start, the last hours were great and very exciting.

Profile Avatar Marian A. Apr 2019

Mildly interesting but I didn't like any of the characters except Kenobi and A'Yark. Many of the other characters I found irritating, and the narrator did a good job of capturing their irritating personalities (which didn't help). This book has a lot of drama in it but I found it to be boring, maybe because I didn't care much for the characters. I think I prefer slower paced stories such as Plagueis, so I will stick with Star Wars books that are more centered on politics. To each their own!

Great book that opens the back story of Old Ben.

Profile Avatar Lane F Jul 2017

I'm halfway through but so far this is one of my favorites out of the Star Wars books. Thank you for giving me a more in depth look at the hermit that is Ben Kenobi.

Profile Avatar Owen Jackson Mar 2017

A very good story for sure. The best account of obi wan out there. This is a great listen and would recommend it to anyone.

Profile Avatar Dan Parks Nov 2016

It's a nice book, it starts slow but gets good. I recommend this for anyone who likes action, even if you don't like Star Wars.

Profile Avatar erik devick Aug 2016

Gives a bit of insight to the old ben legend and the history of the tuskens. Good book overall.
