Qui-Gonn has taken a new apprentice. Yet he finds himself ruminating over a prior padawan-Xanatos. Will his teachings ward Obi-wan and protect him from Xanatos' fate? Or will the dark side of the force obscure lucidity and beckon the susceptible into traps unforeseen?

Qui-Gon Jinn's past is not at rest. How can he forge a bond with young Obi-wan while he is haunted by the betrayal of his first apprentice Xanatos? Xanatos was also a promising student until the dark side of the force intervened. Qui-Gon thought he was gone forever. But now Xanatos is back and Xanatos want revenge!

Qui-Gon Jinn's past is not at rest. How can he forge a bond with young Obi-Wan Kenobi while he is haunted by the betrayal of his first apprentice-Xanatos? Xanatos was also a promising student...until the dark side of the Force intervened. Qui-Gon though he was gone forever. But now Xanatos is back. And he wants revenge.

The Dark Rival. While thankful for Obi-Wan's life-saving help on the trip to Bandomeer, Qui-Gon must put aside his mixed feelings over the young apprentice and take care of his peace mission. But he soon finds out that he's been tricked--not only did the planet's government not call for him, but the request may have come from his former-apprentice-gone-to-the-dark-side, the sinister Xanatos. Qui-Gon stays on Bandomeer to help rival mining companies there negotiate and to find out more about his fallen Padawan. Obi-Wan, of course, pitches in again, and the bond between the two grows. A few explosions, a couple of lightsaber fights, and a prison break later, the two ... well, you'll have to find out for yourself.
