Brotherhood

Brotherhood by Mike Chen

Though The Clone Wars TV show is part of the new Star Wars canon, there are still surprisingly few canon books about the Clone Wars period. But here comes a new one: Brotherhood is a story about Obi-Wan and Anakin coming to terms with working together as adults amid a galaxy at war. The story takes place in between Attack of the Clones and the beginning of The Clone Wars animated movie and TV show, and just after the Padmé novel Queen's Hope.

This will be the first Star Wars novel from author Mike Chen, though he did also write a short story for The Empire Strikes Back: From a Certain Point of View.
