On a mission to sabotage a nano-virus research facility on a Separatist-held planet, four clone troopers operate under the very noses of their enemies. The commandos are outnumbered and out-gunned, deep behind enemy lines with no backup, and working with strangers instead of trusted teammates. Matters don't improve when Darman, the squads demolitions expert, gets cut off from the others during planetfall. Even Darman's apparent good luck in meeting a Jedi Padawan vanishes once she admits to her woeful inexperience. For the isolated clone commandos and stranded Jedi, a long, dangerous journey lies ahead, through hostile territory brimming with Trandoshan slavers, Separatists, and suspicious natives. A single misstep could mean discovery... and death. It's a virtual suicide mission for anyone--anyone except Republic Commandos.
