Experience the first in the epic series featuring the brave members of Omega Squad--an elite team of clone commandos--fighting to protect the Galactic Republic.

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 teammates. 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 naivety.

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 Republic Commandos.

Another exciting tale from the Really Useful Engines on the Island of Sodor. This time, it's all about Rusty.

When a young witch apprentice loses her home and mentor to witch hunts, can she awaken her druid-like powers and flee to safety? Humankind and nature are at odds in this epic Ghibli-esque fantasy manga, perfect for fans of Princess Mononoke, Nausicaä, and Witch Hat Atelier! In a world forsaken by nature, only witches can save humanity. Long ago, plants and animals lived in harmony...until the humans arrived. Unable to coexist with other species, humans mercilessly destroyed everything in their path, forcing fauna and flora into hiding. For hundreds of years, the world has been nothing but a vast, barren desert. Luckily, a few pockets of nature still exist: sanctuaries of witches, extraordinary women who can hear the call of the plants. Despite their abilities, humans hate witches and blame them for the disappearance of nature. Pili and Oak still search for the elusive Eden, but thanks to the guidance of amurd spirits, they have discovered a hidden alcove of witches in the mountains. Unfortunately, its residents know nothing about Eden or its location. However, as they prepare to depart, a quick slip of the tongue has everyone present in grave danger. Matters only get worse when Oak hears the marching of soldiers in the distance. Witch-hunters have located their refuge! Pili rushes to help the other witches, much to Oak’s displeasure, but how will she escape capture this time? Or will she be caught and sentenced to death as a witch? The quest for a lost paradise continues!

Henning van Aswegen skryf volkstories en kinderverhale oor die Vrystaat se hartlike mense en interessante diertjies wat hy tydens sy ongebonde grootwordjare langs Virginia se magtige Sandrivier teëgekom het.

In Vrystaatstories ontmoet die leser vir Mossieman en Geronkie die Donkie wat die niksvermoedende inwoners van die Vrystaat onderwerp aan avonture en poetse, meesal met onvoorspelbare en humoristiese gevolge.

Elke storie en elke skets is oorspronklik, uniek en humoristies – en is geskik vir kinders van 8-80 jaar.

Kinders leer om nie ander kinders af te knou nie (bullying); om kinders en diere met respek te behandel, om teen niemand te diskrimineer nie, en nie lelik en afbrekend met ander te praat nie.

Selfs die kleinste diertjies in die stories soos Mys die Muis, Spinne Spinnekop en ‘n Dowe Paddatjie word met respek en empatie behandel.

In Vrystaatstories word lesers deel van die karakters se koeterwaals en manewales!
