Zatímco galaxií otřásají klonové války, mistr Jedi Yoda se musí ještě jednou střetnout s protivníkem z nejobávanějších - hrabětem Dookuem... Klonové války přivedly Republiku na pokraj zhroucení. Rytíř Jedi Jai Maruk o vlásek unikne jisté smrti, aby mohl Yodovi na Coruscant doručit nečekanou zprávu. Zdá se, že hrabě Dooku chce mír a žádá o setkání. Je jen malá naděje, že proradný hrabě myslí svou nabídku upřímně, avšak v sázce jsou miliony životů a Yoda nemá na vybranou. Yodův úkol je o to obtížnější, že setkání se má uskutečnit na Vjunu, planetě pod vlivem temné strany Síly. Dokáže Yoda odvrátit svého někdejšího učedníka od temné strany, nebo hrabě Dooku obrátí svoz hrozivou moc proti svému bývalému učiteli? Tak či onak, Yoda tuší, že ho čeká nejtěžší bitva jeho dosavadního života.

Cathy's Book was literally a word-of-mouth success story, with over 120,000 copies of the groundbreaking, interactive teen novel in print. Perhaps less noticeable was the heart of the book: a good story well told. Now fans of Cathy Vickers will return to the exciting, unpredictable world that made the first book such a success. Cathy was your average high school student-doodling in the margins of her journal, crushing on a cute boy, and hanging out with her best friend Emma. As this story begins, she's trying to keep a job, her journal is stolen, the cute boy is not who he seems to be, and even Emma's side project/start-up company, Doubletalk Wireless, is about to get caught up in the mystery surrounding Cathy and her search for the truth about her father. Her presumed-dead father. It's just a simple story really: Girl loves Boy, Boy disappears, Girl discovers secret that will alter the course of humanity....

That's where his fairy tale ends. The hero's sword he claimed at Red Keep is taken from him. He finds himself scorned and hated by the king's court.

Emma - I know it sounds crazy. You (and Mum!) will be wondering where I've been disappearing to, and when I'll be back. That's why I'm leaving you all this evidence - in case something happens and I DON'T come back. Look at everything in my book. Call the phone numbers. Check out the websites. But, you can't tell ANYBODY about it, unless you want to end up in over your head, like me. But don't worry, I'll be OK (I think). Hey, maybe this is the beginning of a new life for me. For sure it's the end of the old one. Call me. Love, Cathy This book reaches beyond the written word to interact with teenage girls in ways they are quite familiar with in other areas of their lives. From instant-messaging to text-messaging, from surfing the web to having their own sites, the age-old story of 'boy dumps girl and girl wins boy back' is lifted from the page to our three-dimensional, 21st-century world.
