This is actually the 3rd book, but I reviewed them here.
This is actually pretty deep, intriguing stuff from a series based on video games based on popular sci-fi movies. (Although, if you don't like military tactics and action, you won't like this series.) I was simultaneously reading Allegiance which takes place 21-22 years after this, right after Episode 4.

More Republic Commando goodness. True Colors continues the story line of Hard Contact and Triple Zero. This one was a well-told story of belonging and community among clones and Jedi. Throw in some musings on fatherhood and ethics and you have quite the enjoyable tale.

If you haven't checked out this series then you are missing out. This is a gem in the Star Wars EU. Karen Tavis is quickly becoming one of my favorite Star Wars authors.
Be sure to read Hard Contact and Triple Zero first.

Not as good as the two books that preceeded it in the series, but it satiated my secret inner-Star Wars-geek.
