/> The only way to bring down the Sith??s most dangerous warrior may be to join forces with the dark side.

In the war for control of the galaxy between the armies of the dark side and the Republic, former Jedi Master turned ruthless Sith Lord Count Dooku has grown ever more brutal in his tactics. Despite the powers of the Jedi and the military prowess of their clone army, the sheer number of fatalities is taking a terrible toll. And when Dooku orders the massacre of a flotilla of helpless refugees, the Jedi Council feels it has no choice but to take drastic action: targeting the man responsible for so many war atrocities, Count Dooku himself.
 
But the ever-elusive Dooku is dangerous prey for even the most skilled hunter. So the Council makes the bold decision to bring both sides of the Force??s power to bear??pairing brash Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos with infamous one-time Sith acolyte Asajj Ventress. Though Jedi distrust for the cunning killer who once served at Dooku??s side still runs deep, Ventress??s hatred for her former master runs deeper. She??s more than willing to lend her copious talents as a bounty hunter??and assassin??to Vos??s quest.
 
Together, Ventress and Vos are the best hope for eliminating Dooku??as long as the emerging feelings between them don??t compromise their mission. But Ventress is determined to have her retribution and at last let go of her dark Sith past. Balancing the complicated emotions she feels for Vos with the fury of her warrior??s spirit, she resolves to claim victory on all fronts??a vow that will be mercilessly tested by her deadly enemy . . . and her own doubt.

First, I listened to this book on audio. The voices done for each character were marvelous and, adding to this, several familiar sounds from Star Wars such as blaster fire, light sabers, etc. it really immerses you further into the story. I read this book because it is part of the new official Star Wars cannon and while prior to this I had never read a star wars book, and so did not know what to expect, I must say I was very pleasantly surprised! The writing was wonderful and the story is actually based off some ideas that were going to be part of the Clone Wars show but were not made. The character development was beautiful and all of the characters present which I already knew from the star wars universe were built upon while still remaining absolutely themselves. The POV shifts around between several characters and yet I was always contented to be reading whichever was currently given because of how intriguing all characters and their insights and encounters were. This book definitely makes me more excited to read others in the canon and to watch more of Clone Wars! ( )

I just read “Dark Disciple” by Christie Golden. It’s a “Star Wars” novel based on some a story line created by George Lucas’s daughter Katie Lucas, but never actually produced for the TV show “The Clone Wars”.

It’s two main characters are the Jedi Master Quinlan Cos, who I think has only been in comics and books so far, or if he’s in any motion pictures, just bit parts, and Asajj Ventress, one of the recurring villains from “The Clone Wars”.

It takes place near the end of the Clone War, after the end of the TV show, and before the beginning of the movie, “Revenge of the Sith”. Although the back cover blurb mentions that the Jedi are going to target “the Empire’s” most cold-blooded disciple, even though in the “Star Wars” timeline the Empire wouldn’t yet exist, and in fact, that aforementioned disciple won’t ever see it.

It had been a while since I watched all of “The Clone Wars” so I didn’t really remember where Asajj Ventress’s story was at the end of it, and I beginning this novel I hadn’t realized she was no longer an assassin / apprentice under Count Dooku, or Darth Tyrranus.

Plenty of other Jedi, Sith and bounty hunter characters from other media have parts in the novel. Yoda is the most annoying, as Golden has to twist every single one of his sentences with parts out of standard order. I get it, the character has that funny grammar, but if you watch “The Empire Strikes Back” or “Return of the Jedi” his speech is half normal, and what isn’t still isn’t half as incomprehensible as the dialogue Golden has written for him.

It’s an entertaining novel, but far, far from a great work of literature… ( )

A retcon of Quinlan Vos that's really a vehicle to conclude Ventress' Clone Wars arc. ( )

Finally a Star Wars book that is not just "here have some lore"! Ventress is easily the most interesting darksider we've seen so far
I'm really glad this ended up a novel, because I don't think they could've adapted all the nuance and dept we saw on page with a three-episode arc. ( )

Oh, it was OK...there was/is some plot holes that I found that I struggled with, but it was overall OK. ( )
