Triple Zero (Star Wars: Republic Commando, #2)

by Karen Traviss

There’s no Mandalorian word for “hero,” and that’s just as well, because however many lives you save in black ops, you will never, ever be a hero. Deal with it.

A Mandalorian’s identity and soul depended only on what lived within him. And he relied only on his brother warriors—or his sons.

Why am I doing this? Because men are dying. When do the ends cease to justify the means?

Dark and light are simply the perpetrator’s perception.

Anger makes it the dark side. Being serene makes it okay.

When you can no longer know what your nation or your government stands for, or even where it is, you need a set of beliefs you can carry with you and cling to. You need a core in your heart that will never change.
