Clone Wars - Volume 8: The Last Siege, the Final Truth
GRAPHIC NOVEL (2006)
Jon Ostrander et al.
Dark Horse Comics
Also published as Comic Book series
Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from the Star Wars: Republic comic series:
  • Issues 72 & 73 : Trackdown
    HUNT FOR THE SECOND SITH

    Information obtained from the captured renegade Jedi Quinlan Vos could be vitally important to a Republic victory in the Clone Wars - or it could be a setup for a massive ambush. Jedi spy-master Tholme decides to send his best agent, Aayla Secura, to the Outer Rim worlds in hopes of verifying Vos' story.
    But if following the information could be dangerous for an entire Republic fleet, how safe can it possibly be for a single Jedi?
    With Aayla Secura's help, Jedi Master Tholme has uncovered a Separatist plot that could drastically alter the Republic's fortunes in the Clone Wars-for the worse!
    Anzati assassins are feared throughout the galaxy for their deadly cunning and stealth. Their only rivals were the now defunct cult of Morgukai assassins, whose strength and sheer tenacity made them dangerous adversaries even for the Jedi. Now, unexpectedly, the Morgukai are back-and in numbers not seen for hundreds of years. Worse, they are being trained by Anzati masters, and working for Count Dooku!
    Occurs during the thirty-first month after the Battle of Geonosis.
  • Issues 74, 75, 76 & 77 : The Siege of Saleucami
    THE BATTLE OF SALEUCAMI

    The Outer Rim Sieges have begun, and Jedi Master Oppo Rancisis leads the Republic forces in a desperate drive against a new and major Separatist threat on the planet Saleucami. Aayla Secura and her army must punch through the Separatist fleet to bring re-enforcements and much needed supplies. On the surface of the planet-and beneath it-battles rage, and betrayal simmers! The Dark Jedi Sora Bulq has allies ... and one may be among the Jedi themselves!
    With his supply lines cut and his Clone army decimated, General Oppo Rancisis fears he will not have the forces to prevent Dark Jedi Sora Bulq from taking the Morgukai Shadow Army off-world to threaten the galaxy.
    There is a desperate plan for a foray into the magma tunnels of Saleucami, but before the plan can be carried out, Rancisis is attacked by Anzati assassins and by Sora Bulq himself. Meanwhile, Tholme confronts his former padawan, and the battle between them has deadly consequences!
    Two Jedi heroes have fallen and the Republic forces on Saleucami are on the verge of being overrun by the Separatist's Morgukai clones.
    As the Sith move toward their final revenge, it seems only one Jedi can help piece together a plan that might yet give the Republic a chance for victory. Unfortunately, that Jedi is Quinlan Vos-and his plan may be the final betrayal of all the Republic forces on Saleucami!
    The losses for the Republic-and the Jedi-in the Clone Wars have been staggering. And few battles have been as hard fought as the one on Saleucami. Here, the greatest military threat mounted by the Separatists has been encountered, the Republic's greatest heroes have faltered, and the heart, mind, and motives of Jedi Master Quinlan Vos have been laid bare.
    His secret dealings with Dooku exposed, and the depth to which he was manipulated revealed, Vos stands on a knife's edge between the dark side and redemption!
    Occurs during the thirty-sixth month after the Battle of Geonosis.
Chronology:
These stories occur between 30 and 35 months after the Battle of Geonosis, nearly 19 years before the Battle of Yavin.
