Death on Naboo

Book 4 in the Jedi Quest series.  In this book Ferus has been captured again by Inquisitoe Maloraum.  
Malorum you meet in the other books but he doesn't have a large part.  This book you see how loathsome he is and that he is very power hungry and corrupt.  He wants nothing more than to displace Vader as the second in command and would love to have the ability to become a Sith and work for the Emporer in that capacity.
Palpatine also makes appearance as well in this book which is nice as he always felt very much a character that was not utilized correctly.  
The story is the capture of Ferus but to me that was the more boring part as I liked more the background of Amidala.  Finding out about customs of her people as well as her grandmother was what had me more interested.  In fact it was what I really wanted and pushed me to read the Amidala trilogy that also has done out.
