The Clone Wars rage on. As insurgent Separatists fight furiously to
wrest control of the galaxy from the Republic, Supreme Chancellor
Palpatine cunningly manipulates both sides for his own sinister
purposes.
Torrent Company's Captain Rex agrees to temporarily relieve Anakin
Skywalker of Ahsoka, his ubiquitous-and insatiably curious-Padawan, by
bringing her along on a routine three-day shakedown cruise aboard
Captain Gilad Pellaeon's newly refitted assault ship. But the training
run becomes an active-and dangerous-rescue mission when Republic
undercover agent Hallena Devis goes missing in the middle of a
Separatist invasion.
Dispatched to a distant world to aid a local dictator facing a
revolution, Hallena finds herself surrounded by angry freedom fighters
and questioning the Republic's methods-and motives. Summoned to rescue
the missing operative who is also his secret love, Pellaeon-sworn to
protect the Republic over all-is torn between duty and desire. And
Ahsoka, sent in with Rex and six untested clone troopers to extract
Hallena, encounters a new and different Jedi philosophy, which shakes
the foundation of her upbringing to the core. As danger and intrigue
intensify, the loyalties and convictions of all involved will be tested.
