An evil scientist, Jenna Zan Arbor, is holding Qui-Gon Jinn captive and the only person who can save him is Obi-Wan Kenobi, his Padawan. Jenna Zan Arbor is hoping to learn how to capture the Force for herself and Qui-Gon is her guinea pig. As weak as he is from his his daily blood draining, Qui-Gon still has some tricks under his sleeve that he is hoping to use to free another Jedi that Zan Arbor is holding captive. But Qui-Gon has to play his cards right so that he won't give Zan Arbor the information she wants. Obi-Wan and his new friend, Astri, are doing everything they can to save Qui-Gon from Zan Arbor and Astri's father, Didi, who was shot by a blaster rifle. Time is running out fast and the medicine Didi needs to heal is being held in Jenna Zan Arbor's lab, where Qui-Gon is her prisoner. But the situation becomes worse as a deadly bounty hunter mysteriously follows Obi-Wan, preparing to take revenge as black as death. Will Obi-Wan and Astri reach the lab in time to save Qui-Gon, Didi, and the other Jedi who are all becoming weaker by the hour? Will the bounty hunter take away Obi-Wan's life the way she almost took Didi's? Will Jenna Zan Arbor be brought to justice? All of your questions will be answered after you read "The Evil Experiment", written by Jude Watson.

Qui-Gon is trapped in an experiment that could end his life.

Qui-Gon is being held prisoner by Jenna Zan Arbor, a scientist who plans to find out the secret of the force and will stop at nothing to do it, while she slowly drains his blood until he dies. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan is desperately searching for him with the help of Astri, the daughter of one of Qui-Gon's friends. Astri wants to find out who's behind this just as much as Obi-Wan because her father is dying, and he needs an antidote that only Zan Arbor can supply and because she needs the reward money that is on the bounty hunter's head. This book was way better than the previous one and I recommend it to all Star Wars fans.

Excellant addition to the Jedi Apprentice series.

Qui-Gon has been captured by Jenna Zan Arbor, a twisted scientist on a quest to discover the secret behind the Force. She plans to slowly drain Qui-Gon of his blood until he weakens and dies. Obi-Wan is desperately searching for his master, and gets stuck investigating with Astri, the teenage daughter of the man Qui-Gon was captured trying to protect. Astri wants to find Jenna Zan Arbor just as bad as Obi-Wan, for Jenna is the only one with the medicine needed to save the life of Astri's dying father. This was an excellent addition to the Jedi Apprentice series, and a great improvement over #11, The Deadly Hunter, which was the previous book. I highly reccomend this book to all Star Wars fans.

Great Book...Full of Suspense...

She's done it again! This book was great. Jude has caught me on the edge of my seat several times before, but this one put me there quicker than I can remember. When I recieved the book, I found myself jumping ecstaticly up and down, which is not particularly normal for me. That's what these books can do to you! The book is about Obi-Wan Kenobi and his master, Qui-Gon Jinn, but there are a few sinister faces poking around. Who? A skilled bounty hunter and an evil(and extremely crazy)scientist who has captured Qui-Gon and is holding him hostage in a tank(full of some kind of gas). His blood is extracted daily, and he must use the force to make the scientist happy and get an hour of freedom each day. As he gets weaker, Obi-Wan hopes that Qui-Gon's friend, Didi, will live. Didi has been shot by a blaster that carried an infection of some sort. The healers at the Jedi Temple at first can not identify the infection, but then realize that the only antidote is carried by only one supplier-the scientist who invented the antidite. That scientist's lab has mysteriously closed down. No one knows the scientist's whereabouts at this point. It is up to Obi-Wan and Didi's daughter Astri to evade the bounty hunter and find the scientist's secret lab(with some help from a couple of strange creatures)before it's too late for Didi and Qui-Gon. But if he should meet with the bounty hunter, will Obi-Wan be able to win the battle without Qui-Gon at his side? The bounty hunter is not about to forgive Obi-Wan about the injuries from their last meeting...

Good book.

This was a great book. Actually I haven't read it yet. But this series is the greatest and I know this book will be great. My fave is # 2 The Dark Rival. I can't wait till I get this one. I'm 13 and the reading level is 9-12. I'm not that far over it but it is still odd. But I can't help it, they are great!! My sisters make fun of my "Lameness" for reading these. But I don't care. I recommend this book to everyone who is or isn't a Star Wars fan. Anyone could like them. Jude Watson is a great writer.
