“The Jedi are keepers of the peace. We are not military.”-MACE WINDU, Star Wars Event II: Attack of the Clones

Mace Windu can be a living story: Jedi Master, senior member of the Jedi Council, qualified diplomat, devastating fighter. Some say he is the deadliest man alive. But he’s a guy of peace-and for the very first time in one thousand years, the galaxy is at battle.

Now, following a momentous events climaxing in the Battle of Geonosis, Professional Mace Windu must undertake a perilous about Superstar Wars: Shatterpoint: A Clone Wars Novel homecoming to his native world-to defuse a potentially catastrophic problems for the Republic . and to confront a terrifying secret with dire personal consequences.

The jungle globe of Haruun Kal, the homeworld Mace hardly remembers, has turned into a battleground in the raising hostilities between the Republic as well as the renegade Separatist motion. The Jedi Council provides sent Depa Billaba-Mace’s previous Padawan and fellow Council member-to Haruun Kal to teach the local tribesmen being a guerilla resistance force, to battle against the Separatists who control the planet and its proper star system with their droid armies. But now the Separatists have pulled back again, and Depa hasn’t returned. The only clue to her disappearance is usually a cryptic recording left at the scene of the brutal massacre: a recording that hints of madness and murder, as well as the darkness in the jungle . . . a documenting in Depa’s own voice.

Mace Windu trained her. Just he will get her. Only he can find out what has transformed her. Only he can stop her.

Jedi were hardly ever intended to be soldiers. However now they haven’t any choice. Mace must trip alone into the most treacherous jungle in the galaxy-and into his own traditions. He will keep behind the Republic he serves, the civilization he feels in, everything but his enthusiasm for peace and his devotion to his former Padawan. And he will learn the awful price that must be paid, when keepers from the serenity are forced to create war. . . .
