Not notable per WP:BK. Is already mentioned on page of author, that seems sufficient enough mention. Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! 08:54, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The review notes: "Sherman, David & Dan Cragg. Star Wars®: Jedi Trial; A Clone Wars Novel. Del Rey: Ballantine. Nov. 2004. c.352p. ISBN 0-345-46114-2. $25.95. SF Eager to test his growing Jedi powers in the field, Anakin Skywalker jumps at the chance to accompany Jedi Master Nejaa Halcyon as his second in command on a mission to free the planet Praesitlyn from its Separatist invaders. Leading an army of clone warriors, Anakin finds his skills and his commitment to the Jedi code tested to the utmost when he encounters someone who reminds him of his painful past. The authors of the 'Starfist' series capture the rush of never-ending action characteristic of the Star Wars® movies in this story that takes place after the events in Star Wars®: Attack of the Clones. A good choice for adult and YA sf collections and essential for fans."  The review notes: "Human, alien or clone, the characters fight and die, go hungry and thirsty, have hopes, fears and dreams, not unlike the troops patrolling the plains of Iraq today. Count Dooku and Senator Palpatine keep watch for their respective sides, but most of the book stands splendidly independent of the usual concerns of the Star Wars universe."  The book notes: "Sherman, David and Cragg, Dan. Jedi Trial. Nov. 2004. 352p. Del Rey, $25.95 (0-345-46114-2). The action of the latest Star Wars noveltranspires between events in the movies Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, due in theaters next spring. Anakin Skywalker, pre–Darth Vader, is peeved when his mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, announces that he is going on a mission sans Anakin. During Obi-Wan's absence, Anakin takes up sparring with disgraced fellow Jedi knight Nejaa Halcyon, but the two Jedi aren’t idle long. Separatist troops descend upon the planet Praesitlyn, home to the republic's Intergalactic Communications Center. The republic can't afford losing Praesitlyn, so Chancellor Palpatine dispatches Halcyon and Anakin to the planet with an army of clonetroops. The pair must liberate the planet, with the help of an unusual ally, who happens to be an old rival of Halcyon. With its oddly named heroes and villains and abundant action, Jedi Trial is pretty standard Star Wars fare. Fans anticipating Revenge of the Sith's release, however, will relish the piquing of their appetites it affords."  The review notes: "Yet another in The Clone Wars saga, this adventure is set upon yet another remote world that is in dire need of the Republic's help, unaware of the sinister forces stealthily attempting to usurp control of the galaxy. Rife with The Clone Wars canon characters, mysterious Assaj Ventriss appears while Count Dooku and Darth Sidious manipulate events from a distance. ... In the long run, this novel is a good example of a Clone Wars skirmish. It whets the appetite for the big show, Revenge of the Sith, and the culmination of all these battles as well as the saga itself." There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Jedi Trial to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Notability (books) notes: "A book is notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria: 1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book." The substantial reviews in Library Journal, Publisher's Weekly, Booklist, and SF Site clearly establish that the book passes Notability (books). Cunard (talk) 10:46, 28 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep, another book that meets WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG with four reviews found by, although not all of Shermann's books deserve standalone article (redirects may be okay), it would be nice if the nominators had done a bit of WP:BEFORE ie. gsearch "[book title] by [author] book reviews":)) Coolabahapple (talk) 13:07, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
