""The Jedi are keepers of the peace. We are not soldiers."
--MACE WINDU
""Star Wars "Episode II: "Attack of the Clones
"Mace Windu is a living legend: Jedi Master, senior member of the
Jedi Council, skilled diplomat, devastating fighter. Some say he is
the deadliest man alive. But he is a man of peace--and for the
first time in a thousand years, the galaxy is at war.
Now, following the momentous events climaxing in the Battle of
Geonosis, Master Mace Windu must undertake a perilous homecoming to
his native world--to defuse a potentially catastrophic crisis for
the Republic . . . and to confront a terrifying mystery with dire
personal consequences.
The jungle planet of Haruun Kal, the homeworld Mace barely
remembers, has become a battleground in the increasing hostilities
between the Republic and the renegade Separatist movement. The Jedi
Council has sent Depa Billaba--Mace's former Padawan and fellow
Council member--to Haruun Kal to train the local tribesmen as a
guerilla resistance force, to fight against the Separatists who
control the planet and its strategic star system with their droid
armies. But now the Separatists have pulled back, and Depa has not
returned. The only clue to her disappearance is a cryptic recording
left at the scene of a brutal massacre: a recording that hints of
madness and murder, and the darkness in the jungle . . . a
recording in Depa's own voice.
Mace Windu trained her. Only he can find her. Only he can learn
what has changed her. Only he can stop her.
Jedi were never intended to be soldiers. But now they have no
choice. Mace must journey alone into the most treacherous jungle in
the galaxy--and into his own heritage. He will leave behind the
Republic he serves, the civilization he believes in, everything but
his passion for peace and his devotion to his former Padawan. And
he will learn the terrible price that must be paid, when keepers of
the peace are forced to make war. . . .
