Book Description

4 July 2013 Star Wars (Book 80)

In this followup to Star Wars: Imperial Commando: 501st the Clone Wars are over, and the Republic commandos now wear the white armor of the stormtroopers in service to the Empire. But not all those commandos are loyal to the Emperor, turning the fight against the rebels into a war between clone

brothers! The newly-fledged Empire is strengthening its foothold on Mandalore, but Kal Skirata's clan of clone deserters and fugitive Jedi face a new threat as an older, more insidious enemy emerges from decades in hiding. The Death Watch is back. The loathed Mandalorian hardliners - the brutal nationalist faction that murdered Jango Fett's parents -- are now on the Imperial payroll, threatening to

bring civil war to the Mandalore sector. As Clan Skirata prepares to settle old scores, knowing they may lose the battle, Imperial commandos Darman and Niner arrive on a covert mission that will put them on a collision course with their former brothers. Their task: to hunt down and kill eccentric Jedi Master Djinn Altis, an unlikely ally of Clan Skirata. But Darman has plans of his own that he hasn't even

revealed to Niner. He's come looking for his son, Kad. The galaxy is a dangerous place for a kid who's half-Force user, half clone, and Darman's set on getting Kad out of the reach of both the Emperor and the last of the Jedi any way he can--even if that means taking on the man he's always called father.

3.0 out of 5 stars It should have been great... 19 Aug 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've just finished reading this book and I find myself a little disappointed - though it was an entertaining read and made me feel very nostalgic for the older books in the series.

As usual, the author has done a remarkable job of bringing the characters to life with a strong plot - he was by far my favourite author of the X-Wing Series.

I just can't seem to connect with the new characters and find the old characters (Face in particular) have been relegated to a supporting role. When the fates of a handful of the older Wraiths are revealed and a few appear in cameo appearances I felt genuinely happy/sad, but as for the newer members... well... I just didn't care!!

Also, it's important that you've kept up to date with the novels as there are numerous references in this book that will confuse matters if you haven't.

Perhaps I just started the reading the book with high expectations after reading the older novels... forgetting that some of the characters are now over fifty years old. Maybe the NEW Wraith Squadron will grow on me.

I hope they get another novel to do that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow start but plot soon sped on 15 Mar 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Was not too sure if I would get into this when I started but once I got going the story became more interesting and kept me reading. With a new lot of wraiths and few old faces it took a while to remember who was who but once their characters were cemented into my consciousness I enjoyed this. It is set years after the original series so changes had to be made but it was good to meet old friends, Piggy and Face, again. Worth reading as their mission is full of twists and some humour.
