“The choice is always with us, demanding to be made with every action we take, even in peacetime”
Anakin has sent Ahsoka with Captain Rex as the two observe the testing of a new ship, the Leveller, commanded by Gilad Pellaeon. But things go awry when Hallena Devis, a Republic spy and Pellaeon's lover, is captured on Fath.

This seems like a very rushed novel for one of my favorite SW authors, Karen Traviss. At 257 pages, it's a rather short work (although, depending on the word count, that could be misleading). Many characters appear to pop up out of nowhere and some characters' actions are not even explained. Ahsoka, Anakin Skywalker's padawan, seems too petrified for a character that is usually so proactive in both the T.V. show and in other novels. Granted, she has run into rather interesting characters, but he

Her Clone Wars era books just rock! This book has a solid plot; kind of ordinary or so it seems. Captain Pellaeon is taking his ship, Leveler on a shakedown cruise to get the kinks out. Naturally, he doesn't get left alone. First, he has Captain Rex and a few of his men (not the whole company) on board along with Ahsoka (Anakin has gone home to get some quality time with Padme and thrust her on Rex). Then, a group of Jedi in favor of attachment led by Master Altis that includes Callista and

If fans were ever wondering what happened to Callista “Ming” Masana, and weren’t satisfied with her cameo in Order 66 (or are sitting in front of basement computers writing oodles and oodles of self-indulgent fanfiction), she’s back as one of the supporting characters in the latest Clone Wars installment No Prisoners in which Gilad Pellaeon takes center stage. His motives are questioned, his military prowess tested, and worst of all, the judge of his character is none other than himself.

Author Karen Traviss is perhaps better known to Star Wars fans as the writer of the "Republic Commando" series of novels. This "Clone Wars" novel is based on characters and situations from the animated TV series of the same name. The presentation and marketing of this book might make you think it's aimed at teenage readers, but like her other Star Wars stories, this one contains some very thought-provoking dilemmas for the heroes. When is violence justified, if ever? What

As always, Karen Traviss (who once told me that Walt Disney was "a Nazi b*****d," by the way) proves why she's such a great author in the Star Wars universe. Nobody writes the Clone Wars era most realistically, and humanly, than she does. Her characters recognize the absurdity of a conflict involving mysteriously discovered soldiers who were bred and programmed to fight and likely die with no consent in the matter. I always enjoy a book that points out the extreme short-sightedness

This book shows us a more individual side to the clone troopers. In Episodes 2 and 3, we only see clones fighting a war, or taking orders. But in The Clone Wars, we see that most, if not all clones have different personalities. Some like making jokes and fooling around while others are dead serious about orders. Each also seem to give each other a nickname to better commune with each other on the battle field instead of their respective numbers. In this book, we are also shown a different style

<spoiler>About a spy who Pellaon is involved with. And Anakin and his apprentice, a group of jedi[the offshoot branch Callista is in]and some troopers from the 501st rescuing her.</spoiler>
I think it can be summed up with this quote "Emotions are our programming...and help us understand what's right and wrong". More complete and utter bull-kaka from Traviss. Lots of handwringing and saying how bad the Republic is and how "right" the CSI is.

I enjoyed this as an audiobook much more than I thought I would. The reader (Jeff Gurner) is very good. The added sound effects make it seem more like a radio drama, and Gurner is gifted and versatile enough that it feels very much like one. The story is interesting; I'm enjoying the theme / discussion on attachment and Jedi attitudes towards it. And I always enjoy a story with a Clone trooper's point of view. Having it read out loud points out some of Traviss's awkward turns of phrase more

No Prisoners is a slight novel. It's 257 pages and had the plot been more elaborate or with the addition of a twist the book could at least weighed in at 300 pages. It's not the page count that bothers me. It's that I paid $20 for this trade paperback.
Now that that's out of the way, I confess as I read No Prisoners I remembered I how much I enjoy Traviss' take on this period and I really like what she's done for The Clone Wars series so far.

This is a solid Clone Wars book from Karen Traviss. It features a look at Pellaeon when he was a captain in the Grand Army of the Republic. It also involves a group of Jedi who allow marriage within their rankks. Anakin and Ahsoka's interactions with them, plus the mission to extract a Republic agent who is involved with Pallaeon, shows how these groups deal with attachment. It really is an exciting story and a vast improvement over the previous book in this series.

One of the best Star Wars books I've read (and I've read 79). Traviss gets right inside people and makes them live and you care about them.
Paradoxically, this story is so far out of the main stream of the SW universe that it's almost general science fiction. Though it has a few of the Big Names, they don't contribute much to the plot. Yes, it could have been more complicated and it could have been longer, but for the thoughtful reader it provides plenty to think about--which is somethi More...

I haven't been a big fan of this entire era, let alone the series, but this book was far better than the rest. Don't get me wrong, it's not spectacular, but it points out some of the big glaring holes in the prequel SW universe. Also, it's the only book I've read so far that gives any plausible explanation for Anakin's quick fall to the dark side. Still don't think it was well done, but at least this book tried.
