Star Wars Clone Wars Wild Space by Karen Miller is a great book.
It fits into the new Star Wars Clone Wars canon with the animated series (complete with Ashoka). It fits in between Clone Wars Episode 6 and 7 where R2 is lost.
This book isn’t about R2, it’s not about Anakin and though the cover has Clones on it – is not about clones either.
This book is about the Dark Side.
It’s about Obi-Wan Kenobi in one of the personal tales I’ve ever read of his on a trip to a dark Sith world with Senator Bail Organa tagging along.
What makes this book even more interesting is the view into Palpatine as well. There are a few fantastic sections in this book where Palpatine is talking with Yoda but the narrator/author show us his true internal thoughts — and no he doesn’t like Yoda much (Palpatine that is).
There are also great sections with Padme Amidala too and her own internalization during conversations with Obi-Wan and Yoda. In fact this story (at the beginning) does fit in nicely in between the battle of Geonosis and Padmes wedding to Anakin at the end of Episode II.
Overall The writing is smooth and makes for an easy and very enjoyable read. This is easily the best Star Wars book we’ve read so far in 2009 (year is young though) but Miller has done an excellent job here of bringing us even closer to characters we already know in a new and unique way.

I was lucky to find out about this book. After the stebackle Del Ray called the Legacy Series, I wasn’t looking to read anything else…
This book is fine. A good book. If you into the dark side and want to understand more about Anikin accention to Sith Lorddom, or what any of the other(major) charactors were thinking/going through, then this is a decent book to pick up. Just make sure it’s used or super discounted.
