The School of Fear is the fifth in a series of young-reader novels that chronicle the adventures of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker between Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace and Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones.
Publisher's summary[]
Master and apprentice.
Chosen by fate. Destined for conflict.
A Senator's son has vanished. A secret squad of renegade students exists in the shadows of his elite leadership school. Do they have something to do with the disappearance? Or is it linked to the Senator's unseen political foes, who are pushing the planet toward war?
The only way to solve the mystery and maintain peace is for two Jedi apprentices—Anakin Skywalker and his rival, Ferus Olin—to infiltrate one of the fiercest places in the galaxy: school.
Plot summary[]
Two Master-Padawan teams, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, and Siri Tachi and Ferus Olin, have been sent to Andara to investigate the disappearance of Gillam Tarturi, the son of the Senator of Andara. It is believed that he was kidnapped to distract the Senator from the political problems in his home system, possibly with the help of a young squad of mercenaries thought to be based at Andara's elite Leadership School—the same school Gillam disappeared from. Jedi undercover agents Anakin and Ferus enroll as transfer students at the school, Anakin supposedly on a scholarship and Ferus as the son of a high Mid-Rim official. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan and Siri investigate the ongoing Andaran system political struggle.
Continuity[]
The novel misspells Mas Amedda's name as "Mas Ameeda."
