[edit] Summary

When Obi-Wan, Anakin, Siri, and Ferus get a tip that Jenna Zan Arbor is hiding on the planet of Romin under the protection of a tyrannical dictator, they pose as a gang of thieves called the Slams in order to infiltrate the planet. Thanks to the laws of Romin, the Jedi cannot arrest Arbor and take her away. Arbor must leave the planet of her own free will. The Jedi hope to trick her into leaving by offering her a part in a heist, but it soon becomes apparent that she has other plans. Matters are complicated further when a civil war erupts on the planet and the Jedi are thrown into the middle of it. Will our heroes finally capture the evil scientist or will she slip away yet again?

[edit] Book Blurb

The planet of Romin is a hotbed of villainy and corruption. It is a refuge for criminals from across the galaxy - including evil scientist, Jenna Zan Arbor, an arch-enemy of the Republic.
In order to foil Zan Arbor's insidious plans, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and a team of Jedi must infilterate Romin - disguised as a band of thieves. Where lawlessness is the law, the Jedi Knights will have to master the art of deception to trap a master deceiver.
