Jedi Master Mace Windu's former padowan Jedi Master
Depa Bilbao has been sent to an isolated war torn planet to
aid a local rebellion fight against the separatist rulers.
After receiving disturbing news, the Jedi Master must journey
to his home planet to find his padowan, however, it seems
as though something else has got to her first. Has the padowan
turned to the Dark Side or are there more subtle reasons for
her alarmingly un-Jedi-like behaviour?...
Shatterpoint
is
set during the Clone War after the events of Geonosis.
The
search for his padowan leads Bilbao into battle with, not
only the separatist militia, but his own people. Isolated
on a planet millions of miles away from the technology and
safety of the Republic, a place where his allies turn to enemies
and everyone wants to kill him, Mace Windu must face the terrifying
fact that to win the war, the Jedi must become everything
they fight against.
Author
Mathew Stover tries to get inside the mind of Mace Windu and
dispite the fact that he is a Jedi he shows that Mace still
feels. It is his closeness to Depa Bilbao that makes his journey
as desperate as it is. His emotion drives him to find something
which lurks in the jungle that may have turned a Jedi Master
into a killer, and it is a threat greater than that of the
separatists and in the end it will push mace Windu beyond
his limits.
The
book is good, with enough twists to keep you guessing till
the end and although it is far away from the rich technology
of the Clone Wars, masses of armies smashing against
each other in titanic engagements, the battles fought are
just as fierce and even more so. The book keeps up the pace
as Mace Windu gets plenty of opportunities to show why he
is still a Jedi Master and perhaps the most feared Jedi in
the galaxy.
