BONUS: This short story features an exclusive author interviewplus an excerpt from Steven Barnes' Star Wars novel, The Cestus Deception. WHAT LIES BENEATH Dispatched as a Republic  envoy to the Outer Rim planet Ord Cestusin a bid to halt the sale of potentially  deadly ';bio-droids' to the ConfederacyObi-Wan Kenobi finds himself enlisted in a  mission more desperate, and dangerous, than diplomatic. The once self-contained world  has long since been co-opted by unscrupulous offworlders, whose plunder of a vital  natural resource has enabled the rise of a powerful corporation that controls the  economy. Ord Cestus's native population, the X'Ting, are now mere second-class citizens  in their own society. Enter the Jedi Knight, with news that a legal technicality  has turned the tablesand the corrupt forces with a stranglehold on Ord Cestus are  now at the mercy of the X'Ting. Circumstances, however, are more dire than the Republic  suspected. In the wake of a devastating plague, the X'Ting's benevolent rulers are  dead, and the once tightly knit race has splintered into battling factions. Reunification  can only come with the rise of new royals, whom all X'Ting are bound by blood to  serve. But the eggs that will spawn those sovereigns lie out of reach, secured in  a secret chamber and booby-trapped by those whose knowledge died with them in the  plague. Now, to salvage a people's destiny, Obi-Wan will risk a veritable descent  into hell: braving the unknown horrors in the forgotten depths of an alien world,  on a perilous quest from which none who went before have ever returned.
