About this audiobook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ⢠An unexpected offer threatens the bond between Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi as the two Jedi navigate a dangerous new planet and an uncertain future in the first canon Star Wars novel to take place before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force. But perhaps a Jediâs most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a Padawan of his own. But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice.
Obi-Wan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him. Why must Qui-Gon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi? Why is Qui-Gon drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasnât Obi-Wan told that Qui-Gon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Councilâknowing it would mean the end of their partnership? The simple answer scares him: Obi-Wan has failed his Master.
When Jedi Rael Averross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the royal court of Pijal for what may be their final mission together. What should be a simple assignment quickly becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in Qui-Gonâs mind. As Qui-Gonâs faith in prophecy grows, Obi-Wanâs faith in him is testedâjust as a threat surfaces that will demand that Master and apprentice come together as never before, or be divided forever.

I hadn't read a Star Wars book in years, and had never listened to an audiobook before. Master and Apprentice was not only an amazing introduction to the audiobook format for Star Wars, but also a great reintroduction to the book format of one of my favorite franchises! The production, narration but Jonathan Davis, and fantastic story written by Claudia Gray all came together to make this one of my favorite Star Wars stories all together! I can't wait to listen to other Star Wars audiobooks, especially those written by Claudia Gray!

Book was ok. The introduced characters were uninteresting, Rael Averross is a terrible Jedi, Obi-Wan was honestly kind of a brat, and pax was super annoying. However the plot towards the end was engaging, some of the sequences were exciting, and Qui-Gon is portrayed well.

One of the best books in the new Canon! Claudia Gray loves Star Wars, and it shows. The audiobook production is once again excellent, and Jonathan Davis really knocks it out of the park. The new Canon needs more books like Master & Apprentice! HIGHLY recommend!!
