But after a costly clash with General Grievous for the planet Kothlis, Anakin has a mission that will focus his anxious mind. Alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi, he is posing as a long-lost native of Lanteeb, an impoverished world on the Outer Rim.

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je’daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force - and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je’daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy. Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je’daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency.

It is an age of exploration. Jedi travel the galaxy, expanding their understanding of the Force and all the worlds and beings connected by it. Meanwhile, the Republic, led by its two chancellors, works to unite worlds in an ever-growing community among near and distant stars. On the close-orbiting planets of Eiram and E’ronoh, the growing pains of a galaxy with limited resources but unlimited ambition are felt keenly. The two worlds’ hatred for each other has fueled half a decade of escalating conflict and now threatens to consume surrounding systems.

Obi-Wan yearns to prove himself on a mission, but when he and Qui-Gon are finally set to leave on an assignment, Qui-Gon is nowhere to be found. Angered by his master's abandonment, Obi-Wan sets out on the mission alone, determined to prove himself. On a mysterious planet he encounters a pack of feral, Force-wielding teens who seem to be the planet's only inhabitants.

For the handful of scattered Jedi, survival is imperative if the light side of the Force is to be protected and the galaxy somehow, someday reclaimed. Yet more important still is the well-being of the twin infants, Leia and Luke Skywalker, the children of Anakin and his doomed bride, Padme Amidala. Separated after Padme's death, they must be made safe at all costs, lest the hope they represent for the future be turned to horror by the new Sith regime, and the unspeakable power of the dark side.

The threatened enemy offensive begins as the Separatists employ legions of droids into their attack. Even with reinforcements, the flesh and blood of the Republic forces are just no match for the battle droids' durasteel. Nowhere is this point more painfully clear than in the steaming Jasserak jungle, where the doctors and nurses of a small med unit face an impossible situation. As the dead and wounded start to pile up, surgeons Jos Vandar and Kornell "Uli" Divini know that time is running out.

The Republic is decaying, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, who was elected to save the galaxy from collapsing under the forces of discontent. On the tiny but strategic planet of Ansion, a powerful faction is on the verge of joining the growing secessionist movement. The urban dwellers wish to expand into the prairies outside their cities–the ancestral territory of the fierce, independent Ansion nomads. If their demands are not met, they will secede–an act that could jump-start a chain reaction of withdrawal and rebellion by other worlds of the Republic.

Publisher's Summary
On the Outer Rim, the planet Lanteeb has no strategic value, no political power, and one enormous problem: It has been invaded by an emboldened Separatist Alliance. To find out why, Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi have snuck onto Lanteebe and now look oblivion in the eye.
Hiding their lightsabers beneath their dusty disguises, Anakin and Obi-Wan draw on their Jedi skills to stay one step ahead of Lok Durd's droid army on Lanteeb. The Jedi know that a captive scientist has given Durd the keys to a terrifying bioweapon. Durd knows that the Jedi are on his planet.
With Yoda calling on the powers of the Jedi Council, with a new Separatist technology jamming the Guardians' communications, and with a traitor at the heart of the Republic's government, the wheels of war are turning. But the Separatists have blockaded Lanteeb. The finishing touches are being put on a weapon to destroy whole worlds. And it will be up to the two Jedi Knights and their most trusted comrades to liberate Lanteeb or forever suffer the consequences.

Very entertaining!
Surprisingly detailed and complex for a Star Wars novel. Maybe I’m just underestimating Star Wars novels on a whole, my preconceived notion was just an elongated Clone Wars episode, but safe to say I was wrong! A great representation of the messy dynamic between Anikan and Obi-Wan. A good understanding of Palpatine/Sidious as well. My only complaint was some minor accent inconsistencies of some characters. For example, I’m pretty sure all the clones should sound the same, which was not the case in this series. Overall though, very enjoyable and entertaining production, especially with the classic sound effects and music.

Karen Miller Fails Again
I thought I would give Karen Miller another try after her last effort "Stealth". But she fails again, extremely repetitive, she re-tells the same details throughout the book as if we (the reader/listener) cant remember what is going on. I am not a fan of abridgments, but if there was ever a need for one, it would be Karen Millers books.

It takes two books to tell a single mission
Would you listen to Star Wars: Clone Wars Gambit: Siege again? Why?
Well. Yes I have listened to Clone Wars Gambit three times and I am going to repeat them some more because these two books are my very first audible experience and it is exciting. The voice acting is great, living up the characters and the pace is tight and engaging. However the story doesn't stand out and I feel somewhat disappointing about the ending sections. After 20 hours detailed story portrait, I expected something special: a final picture that put all the pieces together, but there is no more than repetitive fighting and suddenly the reinforcements arrived and the story ended.
The storyline is quite predictable: bad guys have evil plans and good guys struggle and prevail, except that the length of the story to tell a usual Jedi mission is truly surprising. Take another view of thinking, this also indicates that there are hours of dialogues and descriptions of thought and feeling of the characters, and we won't miss and wander what they are thinking in every situation. To people who love intense arguments and care about the inner state of a Jedi, the approach is good.
There are a lot of Jedi works in the story I consider miraculous, and too many miracles makes it unconvincing. For example in the beginning of the story, Grievous' army totally jammed the communication system of the Republic army, and the Republic army led by Anakin and Obiwan managed to win the battle. Hmn, with Jedi, we can ignore all the principles of wars. Later on, the two Jedi will go further continuously fighting hundreds of droids, force curing people, manipulate all sorts of machines without taking food and rest for several days. Okay, because they are Jedi, nothing is impossible.

A tough read/listen.
This is some of the most repetitive and non-imaginative writing I've experienced in the Star Wars novel world.
Do yourself a favor and read/listen to another novel/author(s)

Probably the best Star Wars book in my collection.
I love how Karen Miller is not afraid to show the human aspects of being a Jedi, while showing how super human they can be.
Obi-Wan is often presented as cold an calculating. In this book however, we see more of Obi-Wan's compassion. We also learn that he was once in love with another Jedi.
We also see Anakin's Force powers do magnificent things that he never knew that he could do. His efforts to protect the villagers on Lanteeb are awesome.
We are also introduced to Greti, who is a Force sensitive little girl with Force healing powers. I want to see more of her. Her character is quite compelling.
Taria Damsin is another person I would like to see more of. She is a Shadow of the Jedi Order. Shadows have not been explored much at all and I find them fascinating. I would love to learn more about her history and adventures.
Overall, I like this book a lot. There are a lot of memorable scenes. Some brought a tear to my eye, and others gave me a chuckle. And it has my favorite Togruta in it too.

Among the very best Star Wars novels!
I've read dozens upon dozens of books from the galaxy far, away, and this is far and away the most rewarding. It's certainly not without flaws and doesn't rank with the great literary triumphs from Timothy Zahn and James Luceno, but it has heart and spirit that even those authors can't quite deliver. Jeff Gurner more than holds his own, with both narration and character voicing of the first order. Both volumes abound in laughs, tears and goosebumps -- don't miss this one!!!

Great Book, but made me hate the word "Stang"
this was an amazing Clone Wars story. It does a fantastic job of filling in some gaps left by the movies. But the author coined the term "Stang", which was mean as a swear word..... then proceeds to beat that word into the dirt.

Good, not great
The overall storyline is good but far too much emotion and petty arguments which made it very hard endure. One of my least favorite Star Wars books.

A Fitting Conclusion To Miller's Clone Wars Books
As a continuation of Clone Wars Gambit: Stealth, I was happy to find the transition from the final chapter of the previous book to the beginning of this one was almost seamless. The story flowed well into this one, and the plot only thickened. However, I have to say, I did not enjoy this one near as much as Stealth. Not to say this was bad, but I felt there were less good moments between Obi-wan and Anakin, the end of the scientist's story was a little weak, and a lot of the stuff that went on the village wasn't all that interesting. But it was still written well, and I was still greatly entertained.
Jeff Gurner is stunning in his performance yet again, perfectly doing voices of everyone from Obi-Wan to Ahsoka. It is a shame he only seemed to have narrated Karen Miller's books, because I enjoy his narration even more so than Marc Thompson and Jonathan Davis.

Good story with an impeccable narrator!
What made the experience of listening to Star Wars: Clone Wars Gambit: Siege the most enjoyable?
This was a good Clone Wars story with enough depth, well written and very enjoyable. Karen Miller really captured the spirit of Star Wars, and the banter between Obi-wan and Anakin was spot on.
What did you like best about this story?
The story was broadened by others characters and areas, and that kept the story fresh by moving from one situation or character or area in well spaced out portions.
Which character – as performed by Jeff Gurner – was your favorite?
Marc Thompson is the best at almost everything, but for the Clone Wars era, no one is better than Jeff Gurner! His rendition of Obi-wan and Yoda are above reproach, with a great range of voices and accents that made the events come alive in my mind! He is extremely talented, and his skills are so refined that this felt like a movie. Wow!!! Well done!
P.S. I absolutely love Marc Thompson, as do most Star Wars fans. If you are counted among that group I implore you to give Jeff Gurner a listen, I promise you will not be disappointed!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
This story really showed the vulnerability and weakness of the minds and bodies of a Jedi, as well as their strength and resiliency.
Any additional comments?
I think Karen Miller has done a fine job capturing the essence of Star Wars, and I look forward to more from her. And of course I've become a huge fan of Jeff Gurner and can't wait to hear more from him, especially if it's Clone Wars era material!
