""Within twenty-four standard hours we will sit firmly astride the
communications link that connects the worlds of the Republic. . . .
Our control will be a dagger thrust directly at Coruscant. This is
the move that will win the war for us."
"
With these ominous words, Pors Tonith, ruthless minion of Count
Dooku, declares the fate of the Republic sealed. Commanding a
Separatist invasion force more than one million strong, the cunning
financier-turned-warrior lays siege to the planet Praesitlyn, home
of the strategic intergalactic communications center that is key to
the Republic's survival in the Clone Wars. Left unchallenged, this
decisive strike could indeed pave the way for the toppling of more
Republic worlds . . . and ultimate victory for the Separatists.
Retaliation must be swift and certain.
But engaging the enemy throughout the galaxy has already stretched
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's armies to the limit. There is no
choice but to move against the surging waves of invading
battle-droids on Praesitlyn with only a small contingent of clone
soldiers. Commanding them will be Jedi Master Nejaa
Halcyon-hand-picked by the Council for the do-or-die mission. And
at his side, skilled young starfighter pilot Anakin Skywalker, a
promising young Jedi Padawan eager to be freed of the bonds of
apprenticeship-and to be awarded the title of Jedi Knight.
Shoulder to shoulder with a rogue Republic army officer and his
battle-hardened crew, a hulking Rondian mercenary with an
insatiable taste for combat, and a duo of ready-for-anything
soldiers, the Jedi generals take to the skies and the punishing
desert terrain of occupied Praesitlyn-to bring the battle to the
Separatist forces. Already outnumbered and outgunned, when
confronted with an enemy ultimatum that could lead to the massacre
of innocents, they may also be out of options. Unless Anakin
Skywalker can strike a crucial balance between the wisdom born of
the Force . . . and the instincts of a born warrior."
