Summary: A most exellent and heartfelt book
Comment: I must say, that when I first saw this series in the bookstore I didn't bother to give them a second glance, since I was so impressed with other children's Star Wars series (Young/Junior Jedi Knights) that I was certain that none other could come close, especially those associated with Episode 1, which I was somewhat unimpressed with. I found though, that my instincts had been wrong once again. They are great! Definitly equal to other kids Star Wars series, and even some of the adult novels I've read. Though the writing does tend to be somewhat simple, and definitly geared towards younger readers than myself, this does not stop it from being deep and heartfelt, and certainly worth reading for any Star Wars fan, no matter what their age. In this book, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon head to the planet Melida/Daan, a world so caught up with civil war they can't even agree on a name for their planet! Their mission is to rescue Tahl, a Jedi Knight who disapeared there and is possibly wounded or dead. However, as you can probably guess, things do not go exactly as planned, and they end up getting involved with the Young, a group of children from both sides ready to use violence to ultimatly end their parants war. Obi-Wan begins to be drawn away, caught up in their cause, and begins to wonder if he was right to decide to become a Jedi... Anyway, this book was great and I recommend it to Star Wars fans of any age, especially kids twelve and under.

Summary: You'll Love this book if you're really into Jedi Apprentice!
Comment: My friend (who's also into Star Wars) told me before I read the book that I might not like the end. (I'm the kind of person who shouts at Qui-Gon when he doesn't open up to Obi-Wan and then shouts at Obi-wan for disobeying his master) This book is not like the other books (its better) because you really get the feeling of how Qui-Gon and Ob-Wan feel about each other. At one part of the book, I shouted "No! Bad Obi-Wan! You can't do that! " right when my mom was driving. (Sorry Mom) The at the end I nearly died when I found out what happened. I still get depressed thinking about it. **sniff sniff** Let's just say this book tests the relationship between Obi-wan and Qui-Gon and then leaves you hanging at the end. You won't be able to stand the suspense! Its a good book and if you're a Star Wars fan at all, you must have all the Jedi Apprentice books because they add to the new SW movie. Trust me! Get the book!

Summary: The planet Melida/Daan is under constant war
Comment: The planet Melida/Daan is under constant war. Living in the past, they take constant vengance for things that happened 100 years ago. A band of children led by 13 year olds Nield and Cerasi known as the Young are revolting against the Elders trying to save their planet. The fight has become personal to the Jedi's Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon and they're on different sides...
I liked the Defenders of the Dead because it's about fighting for a cause you believe in even if it costs you everything. It also has strong well-developed characters as well as a great plot and of course the fact that it's set in the Star Wars universe all these things combine to make it a great book.
This book would be great for almost anyone. Its story is flexible and could please fans of many genres. The person I would most recommend this book to is the Sci-fi/Adventure fan as those are the most prominent genres in this or any other Star Wars book. I give Defenders of the Dead 8 out of 10 stars.
