Star Wars: Jedi Quest, Book 2: The Trail of the Jedi

By: Jude Watson

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

Anakin Skywalker knows that Obi-Wan Kenobi did not choose him as an apprentice. Instead, it was teh dying wish of Obi-Wan's own Master, Qui-Gon Jinn, that brought them together. Now, Anakin is beginning to doubt his Master's commitment....and Obi-Wan is starting to wonder if he will ever be as good a Master as qui-Gon.

With these things in mind, Master and apprentice head out on a training exercise that soon turns into a struggle to survive. A squad of bounty hunters has been hired to capture the Jedi - and they will stop at nothing to do it. Anakin and Obi-Wan must avoid the traps and ambushes...and try to discover who is behind the deadly Jedi hunt.

Set between Episode I and Episode II, the Jedi Quest series traces the emergence and education of Anakin Skywalker as a young Jedi devoted to the Force -- and tempted by its dark side.

Fantastic!

I used to get the cdbook of this from my library, until they removed it due to wear and tear. I LOVE this series (and this book, in particular) and Jonathan Davis is fantastic as a reader, he does the character voices so well. Combined with the music of Star Wars and sound effects, this audiobook is a winner!

Great short story.

Good story, way too short. Once again good solid character and an intriguing story. I still maintain that these 4 books should have been one book.

Good short story

Enjoyed this story, looking forward to part three! My fav two Jedi obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker!

wonderful

story was well done, different voices for each character, made you feel like part of the story

A test for Obi-Wan and Anakin

I read these books years ago when they were first published and really enjoyed them. The story still holds up.

The narrator is great. I love the music and sound effects. I just wish the whole series was available on Audible.

I like how this one concentrated on the relationship and trust issues between Obi-Wan and Anakin. It also introduced a main protagonists that will be the sinister, background baddie of the series.

Excellent Follow Up for the Series

Where does Star Wars: Jedi Quest, Book 2: The Trail of the Jedi rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Hmm. That is a little hard for me to answer because I have listened to over a hundred audiobooks in my life. My favorites tend to be Star Wars audiobooks and many of those were high quality productions.

Having said that, it usually takes me at least several days to finish unabridged productions. Sometimes weeks if I am busy and the story is good but very long. Not here. I consumed the book in two sittings, within the very same day. The tale flowed so well I didn't want to stop. It wasn't a Star Wars literary masterpiece. But it did a very good job of entertaining me so I have to give it a good rating.

Overall, I can easily put it in my top 20. For unabridged audiobooks under 4 hours long that I enjoyed enough to finish in a single day, it is currently my favorite Star Wars audiobook. And that's the highest compliment I can give.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Star Wars: Jedi Quest, Book 2: The Trail of the Jedi?

Spoiler Alert!





Last Warning!





Granta Omega's omnious dialogue near the end. After everything that happened in the fast paced novel, it definitely feels that he will be the primary antagonist of the Jedi Quest series. And I have a feeling that I am really going to enjoy this ride.

What does Jonathan Davis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The bickering between the bounty hunter siblings. These new characters amused a lot and the performance of Jonathan Davis brought them to life. Really well done.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Darkness comes to an unspoiled world.

Any additional comments?

I have been thoroughly enjoying this book series so far. I read the previous book a long, long time ago but never managed to get the rest. Now I am making up for lost time with the help of audible and it has been a pleasant experience.

Now, Jedi Quest #3: The Dangerous Games, here I come!

Bounty Hunters Galore...

From jungle to snow capped mountains, a training session goes awry and Anakin and Obi Wan face off against a group of hired mercenaries. Great adventure stroy set after Phantom Menace.

Exciting story

It’s a really engaging story with great voice actors. Looking forward to reading the next one!

Very short story

Could have been compiled with the others in the series for a better experience and value for money.
