A new era of Star Wars begins in 2008 when Star Wars- The Clone Wars premieres as an all-new feature film -- followed by the television series debut -- and Century launches the publishing program with a tie-in novel written by #1 New York Times bestselling Star Wars author, Karen Traviss!

Young Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, his new Padawan Asohka, and his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, are on a mission to rescue the kidnapped son of Jabba the Hutt. But Count Dooku and the Separatists also want to rescue the baby Hutt -- because whoever succeeds in returning Jabba's son to him will gain the support of the Hutts in the war between the Republic and the Separatists.
