Book Review: Republic Commando: Hard Contact

Republic Commando: Hard Contact

Author: Karen Traviss
Series: Star Wars
Released: Fall 2004

When does it take place?
About three months after the Battle of Geonosis, or 22 years before the Battle of Yavin.

What's it about?
A squad of clone commandos attempt to take out a Separatist research facility that is preparing to create a deadly virus that could wipe out the clone army.

What's good?
This book is excellent. It's a quick read, a fun read, and just damn interesting. I'd recommend it to anyone.

What's not so good?
The beginning takes a bit to get started, but once it does, like I said before, the book is excellent.

Anything cool?
Lots. What comes to mind is the very-Terminator relationship that develops between Darman and Etain. He is her Kyle Reese, she his Sarah Connor. The parallels are definitely something to look out for.

Worth the cost?
This is a paperback. It's worth it.

How's it end, spoiler-boy?
Not tellin.
