    <![CDATA[<strong><em>As the Clone Wars rage, victory or defeat lies in the hands of elite squads that take on the toughest assignments in the galaxy&#8211;stone-cold soldiers who go where no one else would, to do what no one else could. . . .</em></strong><br/><br/>On a mission to sabotage a chemical weapon research facility on a Separatist-held planet, four clone troopers operate under the very noses of their enemies. The commandos are outnumbered and outgunned, deep behind enemy lines with no backup&#8211;and working with strangers instead of trusted teammates. Matters don&#8217;t improve when Darman, the squad&#8217;s demolitions expert, gets separated from the others during planetfall. Even Darman&#8217;s apparent good luck in meeting an inexperienced Padawan vanishes once Etain admits to her woeful inexperience.<br/><br/>For the separated clone commandos and stranded Jedi, a long, dangerous journey lies ahead, through hostile territory brimming with Trandoshan slavers, Separatists, and suspicious natives. A single misstep could mean discovery . . . and death. It&#8217;s a virtual suicide mission for anyone&#8211;anyone except Republic Commandos.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, so I loved the Lucasarts video game, Republic Commando, as well as Karen Traviss' other Star Wars novels, so I was dying to read these books. They are very different from both her other novels and the video game. She paints the clones in an image that almost says &quot;slaves&quot; which makes...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66278341">more...</a>]]></body>

The commandos are outnumbered and outgunned, deep behind enemy lines with no backup&#8211;and working with strangers instead of trusted teammates. Matters don&#8217;t improve when Darman, the squad&#8217;s demolitions expert, gets separated from the others during planetfall. Even Darman&#8217;s apparent good luck in meeting an inexperienced Padawan vanishes once Etain admits to her woeful inexperience.<br/><br/>For the separated clone commandos and stranded Jedi, a long, dangerous journey lies ahead, through hostile territory brimming with Trandoshan slavers, Separatists, and suspicious natives. A single misstep could mean discovery . . . and death. It&#8217;s a virtual suicide mission for anyone&#8211;anyone except Republic Commandos.]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong><em>As the Clone Wars rage, victory or defeat lies in the hands of elite squads that take on the toughest assignments in the galaxy&#8211;stone-cold soldiers who go where no one else would, to do what no one else could. . . .</em></strong><br/><br/>On a mission to sabotage a chemical weapon research facility on a Separatist-held planet, four clone troopers operate under the very noses of their enemies. The commandos are outnumbered and outgunned, deep behind enemy lines with no backup&#8211;and working with strangers instead of trusted teammates. Matters don&#8217;t improve when Darman, the squad&#8217;s demolitions expert, gets separated from the others during planetfall. Even Darman&#8217;s apparent good luck in meeting an inexperienced Padawan vanishes once Etain admits to her woeful inexperience.<br/><br/>For the separated clone commandos and stranded Jedi, a long, dangerous journey lies ahead, through hostile territory brimming with Trandoshan slavers, Separatists, and suspicious natives. A single misstep could mean discovery . . . and death. It&#8217;s a virtual suicide mission for anyone&#8211;anyone except Republic Commandos.]]>
