About this ebook
Omega Squadron faces the ultimate trial during the final days of the Clone Wars as Palpatine issues Order 66.
The Clone Wars rage to their bloody climax. Treachery reigns. Treason takes courage. Commandos, Jedi, and the entire Galactic Republic must face the end of life as they know it . . . and the dreaded dawn of a new empire.
Even as the Clone Wars are about to reach an explosive conclusion, no one knows whether victory will favor the Grand Army of the Republic or the Separatists. But no matter who wins, the stakes are highest for elite Special Ops clones like the Republic Commandos in Omega and Delta squads—and the notorious renegade Advanced Recon Commando troopers known as Null ARCs. And now even the deadliest weapon may not be powerful enough to defeat the real menace: the apocalyptic horror that will be unleashed when Palpatine utters the chilling words “The time has come. Execute Order 66.” Translation: The Jedi have tried to stage a coup, and all must be executed on sight.
With their faith in the Republic and their loyalty to their Jedi allies put to the ultimate test, how will the men of Omega and Delta squads react to the most infamous command in galactic history?

I own the paperback version of this book and I have read it over and over again. Traviss is not always the fastest writer, but the attention to detail and the ability to just drag you into her world is unreal. It also gives a look on the jedi order that I think many people overlook. But to me what REALLY makes this book stand out is the significance of Order 66, the explanation is so much more complex and profound than a "chip in our heads to program us" and again makes the clones feel like men, not some anonymous army that was simply made to kill the jedi, but a real purpous behind it. I'm not the best at reviews but I highly recommend that if you like clones at all you read this book (series)

The author's hate-boner for the jedi order is finally unleashed, and a great deal is sacrificed on its altar.

This is the book that got me into reading Star Wars novels. It was a great beginning to bad George Lucas had other thoughts on how to deal with Mandalore the planet otherwise it would be great as canon.
