The back story for General Grievous, the step-by-step dawning of the treachery as For all of the terrible parts of the prequel trilogy of Star Wars films- the novels around the movies have always been my favourite parts. However among the highlights of the 2nd half is the pursuit of Darth Sidious. You also get the rare insight into Grievous' backstory, both his view, and then what actually happened. It tells a very similar story of the Separatist kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine, although it differs in some key details. It tells why the great jedi like Anakin Skywalker can be turn to be a Sith, not only a common Sith but Strongest Sith ever known. Count Dooku's background is also covered, including how he originally came into contact with Sidious, how Sidious ordered him to kill Sifo-Dyas, a rebellious Jedi, and how Dooku erased Kamino from the Jedi archives. Was an awsome preview into Revenge of the Sith.
The movie's rapid treatment of both lacks depth. Anakin, now a Jedi Knight, is shown near his breaking point, worn out by the war and the fact that he is being kept away from his wife, which is still his most closely guarded secret. Si scopre la portata degli intrighi dei Sith e veniamo a sapere come Palpatine si è ritrovato prigioniero di Grievous. That's where Labyrinth of Evil comes in, letting us spend time with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker at the height of their friendship and their powers, before it all goes bad. Nitpicky stuff like this is really all I can come up with in terms of complaints; that said, the book was great, but not overwhelmingly so, as is happening often these days, so I'm compelled to give it a slightly lower score than this review would seem to suggest. That alone makes it worth picking up.
Yoda, Windu's and Palpatine's scene are compressed.

Finally, Labyrinth of Evil is hurt by the fact that readers already know that Palpatine and Darth Sidious are the same guy. Of course everything that transpires leads Darth Sidious one step closer to his final confrontation with the Jedi? But first, crucial events that pave the way to that time of reckoning unfold in a labyrinth of evil.
The tale of Sifo-Dyas and his friendship with Count Dooku is sketched out by Yoda, although I would have liked more substance here. In my experience, it's a rare thing for a movie tie-in novel to feel important or necessary. Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy, and Separatist Councilmember, Nute Gunray is the mission that brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with a squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia. It took me a good long while to figure out what was happening and why. To succeed, the Jedi will have to fulfill near-impossible tasks, befriend wary strangers, and influence two great armies - stalked all the while by an enemy sworn to see the mission fail. Ils se rendent compte que le complot est plus gros qu'ils ne l'imaginaient. It shows Anakin starting to change a little bit, but it really helps to show how things started to come about with the rise of The Empiror.
Though the story was moderately e A Quickie Review The one thing I don't like about prequels is that knowing what will happen later ruins the story. Dooku, Grievous I felt that it had a strong start but skewed towards the middle - that said, I can believe that feeling was mostly due to the shaky storyline that had already been decided, and not Luceno's writing skills. That's something worth reading, right? What about the plots of Sidious to rule the galaxy? Anakin is mentioned less than half of the time you'll spend with this book. The story is only mediocre. The events at the end of the book are the prelude to the beginning of Revenge of the Sith.
Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy—and Separatist Councilmember—Nute Gunray is the mission that brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with a squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia.

But the treacherous ally of the Sith proves as slippery as ever, evading his Jedi pursuers even as they narrowly avoid deadly disaster. Capturing Trade Federation Viceroy and Separatist Councilmember Nute Gunray is the mission that brings Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, with a squad of clones in tow, to Neimoidia.
Yet somehow, in the escalating galaxy-wide chess game of strikes, counterstrikes, ambushes, sabotage, and retaliations, Sidious stays constantly one move ahead. I can forget the details of my own breakfast given half an hour, but even I notice when you contradict yourself from one sentence to the next! Sidious' secret plan has already been passed to information broker Lorn Pavan, which places him at the top of Darth Maul's hit list. And Anakin is no longer as insufferable though he is still impetuous and has anger issues: character flaws important for his later development.

While Kenobi and Skywalker pursue the constructor of the chair, General Grievous is commanded by Sidious through his apprentice to relocate the Separatist Council to Belderone, where a Republic fleet lies in wait for them. At least I could picture Anakin as something other than a whiny teenager. However, Labyrinth of Evil is more audacious and intricate than most of the Star Wars prequel novels, Surprisingly enough, I found this pre-movie novel to be both well-written and quite engaging. From light sabers working or not working underwater, to Darth Maul's lightsaber choice, to Evan Piell's death, to the attack on Coruscant and Palpatine's capture. It includes some wonderful space battles, an excellent lightsaber fight, and also a chase on a train that? However, if you're someone like me who is in these books for the long haul, trying to understand characters inner machinations, walking through tactical maneuvers by the Dark Side, you're left wondering why things are moving so quickly.
