Jedi Apprentice Volume 3: The Hidden Past

A continuation of the adventures of Obi-Wan Kenobi and his new master, Qui-Gon Jinn. Their journey takes them to the home planet of Guerra, the thief that Obi-Wan had conspired with at the end of the second book.

Jedi Apprentice Volume 4: The Mark of the Crown

written by: Jude Law

Probably the most direct of the series, and thus one of the least interesting. Continuing on to Gala to continue their mission they were waylaid from by Guerra and family, their mission is a simple one or so it seems. The dying queen wishes there to be public elections but there are many who don’t. The prince being one of them but he is not alone.

Jedi Apprentice Volume 5: Defenders of the Dead

written by: Jude Watson

Albeit it’s for a younger audience, but the real climax of the novel is so offcenter that it ruins the whole story for me. Dispatched to bring back a fellow Jedi named Tahl, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan run into a wartorn planet. There are two sides to the war: Melida/Daan. The two factions have been entrenched in a civil war for as long as anyone can remember. The Elder perpetuate the war and the Middle aged are mostly dead due to it.

Jedi Apprentice Volume 6: The Uncertain Path

written by Jude Watson

Slightly better than it’s predecessor due to the fact that you have to begin the book with Obi-Wan already separated from the Jedi. It allows you to scoot past the finale of the previous book.

Jedi Apprentice Volume 7: The Captive Temple

written by: Jude Watson

The best of the series thus far. A contained story built on the previous adventures that have led the two Jedi heroes to where we are. Obi-Wan is back at the Temple but unsure of his future. Qui-Gon is also unsure of their future but dealing with an assault on the Temple and attempt on Yoda’s life.

The story becomes a basic detective mystery with lightsabers as Obi-Wan tries to prove himself worthy of continuing as a Jedi and as Qui-Gon’s apprentice. In the meantime Qui-Gon tries to prove himself worthy to be Obi-Wan’s mentor.
