Little to all the heroes know that the great enemy is watching, and preparing to make his final move... Review:Wow. That was my first reaction to this book. Labyrinth of Evil is now amongst my favorite Star Wars books. Nay, my favorite books period. I couldn't put this book down at all. James Luceno kept the pace going at a fever pitch. There was plenty of action, but it wasn't non-stop. It was interrupted by dark dealings, and much mystery/detective work. The story was tense the whole way. Anakin and Obi-Wan worked so well together. They almost have a Han/Chewie relationship. No, they both speak Basic. The similarity is that they really care for each other, and they are a team. They also like to make jokes on each other. The only real problem I had with the story was how Grievous fought at one point. I did not mind the fact that he used four lightsabers, but he used them in a way that is different from the movie. I'll let your imagination take over from there instead of spoiling the movie. Another problem was that I finished this book at the end of January, and it leads right into Revenge of the Sith...
