_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! _

Republic Commando: Triple Zero is the sequel to Republic Commando: Hard Contact which some of you may have read. Hard Contact took place almost immediately after Episode II and featured the clones of Omega Squad; Niner, Darman, Fi and Atin. Triple Zero takes place a year later and features Omega Squad as well as Delta Squad from the Republic Commando video game; Boss, Scorch, Fixer and Sev. In relation to the video game it takes place somewhere between the Geonosis and Kashyyyk missions.

If you read Hard Contact you probably know all you need to know already. If you didn't all you really need to know is that unlike most Star Wars books it didn't feature any characters from the movies and was written from the clones' perspective rather than the typical Jedi outlook, making it much more of a real wartime novel than a sci-fi one with laser swords. Though I have yet to read the novel myself I can vouch for Hard Contact which was considered one of the better books from the Clone Wars arc, so can only presume the sequel is on par with the original.
