highly recommended

Ferus Olin's allegiance is to the Jedi. But when he's summoned to see the Emperor, the Sith Lord makes him an offer he can't refuse. If he can manage to prevent a planet from lunging into chaos, the Empire will spare ferus's capture friends. And if he doesn't- they'll die. Another heart-stopping Jedi adventure from bestselling author Jude Watson.

Five Stars

Another excellent book in the Last of the Jedi series Ferus is still attempting to be a double agent pretending to work for the Emperor while at the same time still supporting his friends resisting the Empire. Ferus thinks he can handle it working this close to the dark side is a lot hard then he expects especially when Darth Vader wants him out of the picture while Ferus has no idea Vader was once his former rival at the Jedi Temple Anakin Skywalker but is attempting to figure out who Vader is. Their scenes are very exciting.

The adventure continues...

I love this series and can't wait for the next installment! The characters are great and have the 'feel' of the SW saga. Excellent premise for the events that happened after Order 66, how the surviving Jedi fared, how early steps of the rebellion began and the evolving of Darth Vader. Excellent!

Good Stepping Stone, though not the series' best

Mild spoilers possible.

I read this book a week ago and can't remember much more than the general sense that I liked it. That's bad. But the story is necessary to set up book 7 of the series, so it's highly recommended you read it if you want to understand the next book (which BTW is great).

The price of freedom for Ferus Olin is collaboration with his personal enemy: the Empire. This necessarily puts a strain on things. Trever's all ready to help, but no one really trusts a kid, so he's taken matters into his own hands...that should be interesting.

Another great Star Wars tale from Jude Watson

Former Padawan Ferus Olin has set up a safe hiding place for those hunted by the Empire. Now, in hopes of gaining leads to the location of surviving Jedi, Ferus must play a dangerous game of double agent.

Having successfully completed his first job for the Emperor (repairing the planet Samaria's sabotaged computer system), Ferus is given a new task: find the Samarian resistance leaders and offer them amnesty--provided they cease their subversive activities.

Ferus realizes that he is being used--and that Darth Vader is watching him--but he has no choice but to acquiesce to Palpatine's demands.

I'm a big fan of Watson's Star Wars tales. Although they are written for children, the books have enough action, political and emotional complexity to keep adults interested. One gets the feeling that, now that the noose is around Ferus' neck, it's going to keep on slowly tightening throughout the remaining books of the series. It will be interesting to see how the rivalry between Ferus and Vader plays out.
