A Clone Wars Novel
Ord Cestus, a planet mostly barren and inhospitable to life, was first colonized  as a prison worlduntil a handful of hardy pioneers discovered its rich ore deposits  and managed to build up a successful droid-manufacturing industry. But when the Clone  Wars erupted, bringing severe rationing of imported resources and a Republic ban  on the production of battle droids, Ord Cestus was threatened with imminent economic  collapse. Enter the Confederacy of Independent Systemsthe Separatistswith a life-saving  offer to purchase a generous quantity of the planet's most lucrative export: bio-droids.  Possessed of tactical capabilities that rival the fighting abilities of even the  most advanced Jedi, these sophisticated, techno-organic hybrid units would prove  a most formidable weapon if ever deployed for military use. And now the Confederacy's  intention to invest in what amounts to an army of bio-droids has sent ripples of  alarm through the highest echelons of the Republic government. Determined to halt  the bio-droid salebut fearing a show of force will result in a political backlashSupreme  Chancellor Palpatine dispatches a team of envoys, led by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.  Their mission: persuade Ord Cestus's government to abandon its dealings with the  Confederacy . . . while secretly stirring up revolution among the planet's struggling  underclass. Diplomacy is paramount. But if all else fails, the Republic will not  hesitate to launch a full-scale attackand wipe out not only the means of bio-droid  production, but countless lives as well, to demonstrate the consequences of disloyalty. For Obi-Wan, the prospect of such wholesale slaughter only serves to fuel his growing  suspicions about the sinister path the Republic seems to be taking. But the brash  Jedi Master Kit Fisto and the detachment of clone soldiers assigned to the mission  are ready and willing to do the Supreme Chancellor's bidding. As the leaders of Ord  Cestus refuse to capitulate and Palpatine rapidly loses patience, Obi-Wan's hopes  of a peaceful resolution are dwindling. Now, facing a crisis of conscience, Obi-Wan  must find the wisdom and strength to prevent a bloodbath and safeguard the Republic  while abiding by the ancient code to which he has pledged his life.Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on theStar Warsexpanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popularStar Warsbooks of the last thirty years!
