It was somewhat better than I thought it would be. This is a novel tied in to the upcoming video game Republic Commando. It doesn't have any of the tried-and-true characters in it (i.e. Obi-Wan, Anakin, etc.) but it is a decent story. I really liked the female Jedi lead in this and her struggles.

I loved the fact that it centered around the clones in this book rather than jedi, It was rather refreshing. We rarely see things out side the jedi perspective in the star wars books but this gives you an indepth look at the clone troopers.

In this book, the Jedi character wasn't all-powerful either. She had her struggles which made her more real.
If you like Clones and battles, read Jedi Trial and Cestus Deception

I've read Cestus Deception already but not Jedi Trial. I just thought it was refreshing to have the novel focus on troops instead of the Jedi but still have the Jedi present. most of the other SW novels have focused on either, or. I really liked the use of the Light Whip in Cestus Deception.

Well, I'm a bit more than 1/2 thru this, I really do like it so far, for the treatment of the clones if nothing else. I wasn't sure that I'd like this at all, but, I really like the difference in the perspectives. The Clones of each other and of the Jedi, and of the other things they've encountered, what they think about thier own lives & existence. Hokan's feelings about things, and the Fett clones. Etain's about herself, her abilites and her perception of the Clones, that was quite interesting, wonder how she works out. Well I'll find out in a day or two. I'll be done with it by then.
