Following this, the book enters upon a clone army - all cloned from one bounty hunter named Jango Fett. Obi-Wan finds that Jango Fett was the one who killed Zam and attacks! But he escapes to a nearby planet called Geonosis. It is here that the team discovers the droid army, lead by the evil Sith lord, Count Dooku.
