What I wanted: A series about commandos undertaking secret missions and covert ops. What I got: A soap opera about relationships and self-loathing. ( )
Good continuation of the clone troopers saga. I really liked how this book showed both sides of the issues leading up to order 66 (the clones & the Jedi). It dose a decent job of showing that even the troopers were getting a bit suspicious of the soon to be emperor too. I can only hope that the book "Odds" which was previewed in this volume will one day be printed to continue the series. ( even if it is under the Legends banner ) ( )
follows the commandos as they find out more about the war and slowly realize that things are not as presented by Palpatine and the media. Skarata is hunting down the Kaminoan who engineered the clones so she can reverse the fast aging" so they can live a normal length life. Traviss is really setting things up to tie in with the Legacy books. I didn't enjoy this novel nearly as much as the first two. The military jargon, the Mando'ese, it was just over used, imo, this time. You have so many different identifications for the same people [usually group oriented] that I felt like I lost track of who was who. Nulls, Alpha's, ARC's, Republic Commandos, Delta, Omega, etc, etc. Keeping track of it all really bogged the story down." ( )
This exciting installation in the Republic Commando series is one of Traviss' finest works to date. The story of what it is like to come of age during the Clone Wars from the perspective of a clone is unlike any other Star Wars novel. This series is about so much more than a journey through a confusing war. It is the story of all of us. This book series is about the complex relationships of families, about what it means to have brothers, and about what is right. The best advice I've ever gotten has come from this book series, and it has shaped my life in so many ways. These books (the Republic Commando series) are about morality, setting priorities, and above all else love. Loving your family, we are brothers all. ( )
For the life of me, I just could not get into this book. I don't know what it was about this one, but the two previous I thought were very good. I was so amped to read this one after Triple Zero, but it took me MONTHS to finish this one because I couldn't read more than 10 or so pages at a time. On the other hand, I read Ruins of Dantooine and Darth Bane: Rule of Two in about three days each (slow reader..). I am glad I'm through with it now, but it leaves a little to desire. ( )
