Book Review Star Wars Republic Commando: Triple Zero

I like to read alot. most the books i read are Sci-fi, Military, or futuristic novels. Whenever i do i post a review so that anyone who wants the same novel can know whether to buy it or not. So here i m my first review on blogger.com enjoy.


note if you do not know anything about the Star Wars Universe or have never seen any of the movies then pass this entry up

Star Wars Republic Commando:Triple Zero
This book is the continuing adventures of the Republic commando from the first book Hard Contact. We see the survivors of that book, Etain the jedi, Darman, Niner, Atin the Republic commando we also see the squad get a new member fi a new Republic commano. In this book though you see the squad you commanded in the Video Game Star Wars:Republic commando BOSS, Scorch,SEV, and Fixer. The other new Characters in this book like Skirate the merc who train the commando's and Vau a commando who Atin has a score to settle with add a more to the universe of the Star Wars military. Without giving to much away the story takes place during the CLone wars and tells of the Commandos the Two Jedi of Etain and the new MAster Jusik and how they must stop a seperatist Terror Cell on the Captial world of Coruscent. This novel proves that the clones are more than flesh droids and have true hearts and do care even when they have never before.throughout the boks some unexpected things occur that will leave the reader wanting to get the next novel. The Author Karen Traviss did her homework when it came to the military mindset and how Counter-Terrorist operations occur and melded that with the Star Wars Universe. The Character of Skirata, and Vau add a more back story to the commandos and let us know that the commandos grew up, maybe it was under bad circumstances but that they still had to experience life from a Soldier's point of view. By the time the novel ends you are feeling sorry for theall the Republic Commando and the Clone Troopers in that they die young(Cause the scientists cause them to age faster) and also that they will never get the life they have fought long and hard for.It also causes you to Question the republic in that why would they do this to living beings even if they were clones, Also it shows how far the jedi fell during the Clone Wars from another perspective other than that of Anakin Skywalker. However, if you did not read the first one some of the weapons and terminology and the connection the Republic Commando of Delta Squad have with the Jedi Etain will be lost to you but some if it is explained throughout the book. My verdict if you are looking for a good read this christmas something to get when you trade in those lame presents and if you dont want to spend to much money on it buy this book and the first book. If Sci-fi/military books aint your thing then look for a love novel or something else instead.

Verdict
