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 climax, no one
knows whether victory will favor the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) 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 Advance 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 to 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 shot 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?
