Jedi Apprentice: The Call to Vengeance represents the sixteenth installment in a collection of novels aimed at young readers, recounting the experiences of Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi before the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.
Qui-Gon Jinn has reached a breaking point. His heart is in pieces. His core beliefs have been shattered. He now teeters precariously on the verge of crossing a boundary that no Jedi would ever dare to cross.
He is driven by a desire for retribution.
His fellow Jedi—including his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Mace Windu, a member of the Jedi Council—will attempt to intervene. However, once Qui-Gon acts independently, the possibilities are endless. Vengeance is not a characteristic of the Jedi...but it is of Humans. Can Qui-Gon differentiate between his personal emotions and his Jedi teachings?
Qui-Gon Jinn struggles to maintain his focus on his duties. Following the loss of his one true love, he is having difficulty continuing his path as a Jedi Knight. He and his apprentice, Obi-Wan, are dispatched to a dangerous planet with the mission of safeguarding the sole witness prepared to testify against a corrupt criminal organization, but he finds it difficult to concentrate. However, when the witness faces a sudden assault and the crime family takes steps to guarantee their continued existence, Qui-Gon is compelled to maintain order...and confront both external attackers and internal struggles. A Master's role involves assisting their Padawan in resisting the allure of the Dark Side, but can Obi-Wan reverse the roles, restraining a man known for his defiance who poses a threat to himself and those around him, as well as to his intended target?
