Product Description
As the Clone Wars rage, victory or defeat lies in the hands of elite squads who take on the toughest assignments in the galaxy ...On a mission to sabotage a chemical weapon research facility on a Separatist-held planet, four clone troopers operate under the very noses of their enemies. The commandos are outnumbered and outgunned, deep behind enemy lines with no backup - and working with strangers instead of trusted team-mates. Matters don't improve when Darman, the squad's demolitions expert, gets separated from the others during planetfall. Even Darman's apparent good luck in meeting an inexperienced Padawan vanishes once Etain admits to her woeful inexperience. For the separated clone commandos and stranded Jedi, a long, dangerous journey lies ahead, through hostile territory brimming with Trandoshan slavers, Separatists, and suspicious natives. A single misstep could mean discovery ...and death. It's a virtual suicide mission for anyone - anyone except the Republic Commandos.

Traviss is a genius!,
By Gizmo (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Wars Republic Commando: Hard Contact (Star Wars Republic Commando 1) (Paperback)
Karen Traviss really is brilliant the work she has done for the star wars community is fantastic, she is the NO.1 authority on the clones and mandalorians. Republic Commando is an amazing book that shows the true face of war and shows that the clones arent just mindless beings, but that they are human and you really feel what they go through. The story is a classic and the group of commandos she has created are all brilliant individuals and you really feel connected to them. go and buy this now as you wont regret it.

A good new series,
By Mando'ade Lee "LT" (Norfolk, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Wars Republic Commando: Hard Contact (Star Wars Republic Commando 1) (Paperback)
Having completed Karen Traviss' Mandalorian/Clone Wars series I felt I had to go back and review all three books retrospectively. I thought Hard Contact was a strong start to a promising new series. KT quickly introduces us to a grittier universe than a lot of Star Wars novels portray. Coming from a military journalism background she clearly has a lot of 'front line' stories and experiences to draw from and this is put across well when describing the commando's tactics and actions.
I also enjoyed seeing things from the Seperatist point of view, through the T-Shaped visor of Ghez Hokan which gave me further insight into the Mando ideals. All this with a few Jedi, shapeshifting predators and some cracking firefights thrown in made this a really good read and would be highly recommended.

Now that is a book!,
This review is from: Star Wars Republic Commando: Hard Contact (Star Wars Republic Commando 1) (Paperback)
Karren Travis is by far the best Star Wars author. [In my opinion] I read this in about 26 hours, ant that is my personel best. It made me a bit sad to be honest, as I've already read the first STAR WARS 501ST: AN IMPERIAL COMMANDO NOVEL [Star Wars 501st: An Imperial Commando Novel ] BY Traviss, Karen(Author)Mass Market Paperbound 27-Oct-2009 book. That tells the story of what happens after this series. So I know about some of the sad thing to come. Oh well, I can get the kleenex ready for order66. I must remember that it's only a book.
