Description Concering Books Triple Zero (Star Wars: Republic Commando #2)
Following the eruption of the bloody Clone Wars at the battle of Geonosis, both sides remain deadlocked in a stalemate that can be broken only by elite warrior teams like Omega Squad, clone commandos with terrifying combat skills and a lethal arsenal. . . . For Omega Squad, deployed deep behind enemy lines, it's the same old special ops grind: sabotage, espionage, ambush, and assassination. But when Omega Squad is rushed to Coruscant, the war's most dangerous new hotspot, the commandos discover they're not the only ones penetrating the heart of the enemy. A surge in Separatist attacks has been traced to a network of Sep terror cells in the Republic's capital, masterminded by a mole in Command Headquarters. To identify and destroy a Separatist spy and terror network in a city full of civilians will require special talents and skills. Not even the leadership of Jedi generals, along with the assistance of Delta squad and a certain notorious ARC trooper, can even the odds against the Republic Commandos. And while success may not bring victory in the Clone Wars, failure means certain defeat. Also includes the bonus story Omega Squad: Targets by Karen Traviss!Itemize Books Toward Triple Zero (Star Wars: Republic Commando #2)

After liking Hard Contact as much as I did, I was eager to read Traviss' next book in the Republic Commando series. It took me a bit longer than usual to finish the book, thanks to regular life getting in the way, and I was pleased to see that the style and tone she set in the first book carried over to the second one. This makes me eager to want to read the next three books in the series, as well as everything else Traviss wrote for the Expanded Universe.Like she did in Hard Contact, TravissThis starts out really good, then it goes downhill, into an abyss.Not because of the writing. Not because of the plot.Before readingInterweb: Kal Skirata is cool and Vau is an abuserMe: Ok. Noted.After readingMe: Kal Skirata is one macho man. The way he trashes Etain does not amuse me. Vau's done fucked up things but his macho-ness (or lack thereof) is not so in-my-face like Kal.Etain's character gets dumped down. Why? And she even gets symbolised with a space cat... really? And what's with the
This book is not quite as good as Hard Contact (the first book in this series) but it was still an enjoyable read. The plot is somewhat convoluted and is really secondary to Traviss's forced character development of the troopers and their Seargent, Skirata. For those that have read Traviss's LoTF books, this book really delves into those characters that come back and you can see her big picture story arc coming together. Unfortunately this book is where her personal hatred for the Jedi starts to
Two words: Clone Dads
Bow chick a wow wow Jedi and clone now.
What happened? Triple Zero is such a mess! I had such trouble getting into this. In fact, I never did get into it.Maybe it was because the basic premise of the plot never gelled. Hard Contact promised a commando story and did what it said on the tin; a small force, dropped behind enemy lines in difficult and not entirely foreseen circumstances, adapting to circumstances and taking out an objective. To suddenly have our commandos working to bring down a spy ring on Coruscant seemed entirely
The book "Triple Zero" by Karen Traviss is dense with layers of stealth, high-important missions, teamwork, and loyalty. To understand my review, you must understand a little about the book first. For example, it is set in the clone wars were the republic are fighting the separatists. The main group of characters are Omega squad which are clone commandos who are Niner, Darman, FI, and Atin. They are coming back from the battle of Geonosis were they have a mission at coruscant to they must
