"Tides of Terror is part disaster story, part horror story, and all fun. It’s a race-against-time adventure in which the Jedi will face off against saboteurs and the sea creatures, and readers will learn to beware what lurks in the deep, dark ocean world of Tordus."

The character of Kit Fisto is a Nautolan Jedi Knight who has proven himself to be a capable fighter on both land and sea, thanks to his water-breathing Nautolan heritage. Fisto has previously appeared in Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars.
