Summary

The story follows the heroic Jedi Knights as they struggle to maintain order and restore peace during the tumultuous Clone Wars. More and more systems are falling prey to the forces of the dark side as the Galactic Republic slips further and further under the sway of the Separatists and their never-ending droid army. Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan learner Ahsoka Tano find themselves on a mission with far-reaching consequences, one that brings them face-to-face with crime lord Jabba the Hutt. But Count Dooku and his sinister agents, including the nefarious Asajj Ventress, will stop at nothing to ensure that Anakin and Ahsoka fail at their quest. Meanwhile, on the front lines of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Master Yoda lead the massive clone army in a valiant effort to resist the forces of the dark side.^[3]^[4]

Differences from the Movie

The book was released before the movie, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, was released. Because of this, there are some differences between the movie and the book. One difference is the Battle of Teth. In the movie, after the clones are defeated and Asajj Ventress and her droids are closing in on the surviving clones, there are six troopers instead of five like in the movie. Also, the character dialogue in the book is much different than in the film.
