Obi-Wan Kenobi'is alive, but maybe not for long. He and'Alpha, the'ARC Trooper, are prisoners in the castle of the'Dark Jedi'Asajj Ventress. Not knowing how the'Republic'forces on'Jabiim'are faring, or even if'Anakin'is still alive, Obi-Wan and Alpha make a bid for freedom. But their only chance lies in'General'Kenobi temporarily casting off his'Jedi'training and fighting Ventress with the same ruthlessness that she herself brings to the battle!
