This was a decent book in the SW universe, but really not an essential read. Overall it was an OK story, though some could have used a little more explanation; like the reason behind actually needing to buy and build a ship from the sekotans. It does, however, offer a look into Obi-Wan and Anakin's relationship three years after episode 1. There is not too much that deals with this area of the SW timeline. So in that respect it is interesting.
