Publisher's summary[]

While the Clone Wars wreak havoc throughout the galaxy, the situation on the far world of Drongar is desperate, as Republic forces engage in a fierce fight with the Separatists….

The threatened enemy offensive begins as the Separatists employ legions of droids in their attack. Even with reinforcements, the flesh and blood of the Republic forces are just no match for battle droids' durasteel. Nowhere is this point more painfully clear than in the steaming Jasserak jungle, where the doctors and nurses of a small med unit face an impossible situation. As the dead and wounded start to pile up, surgeons Jos Vondar and Kornell "Uli" Divini know that time is running out.

Even the Jedi abilities of Padawan Barriss Offee have been stretched to the limit. Ahead lies a test for Barriss that could very well lead to her death—and that of countless others. The conflict is growing—and for this obscure mobile med unit, there's only one resolution. Shocking, bold, unprecedented, it's the only option Jos and his colleagues really have. The unthinkable has become the inevitable. Whether it kills them or not remains to be seen.

Plot summary[]

Dr. Vondar is still wallowing in grief over the loss of his late friendZan Yant, even as Zan is replaced by the adolescent surgeon,Kornell "Uli" Divini, who takes a liking toward Barriss, who does not reciprocate his feelings because of theJedi Order's ban on attachments. Kaird succeeds in his operations on Drongar for theSeparatists andBlack Sun's interests and leaves.

Meanwhile, the spy, who is also working for the Separatists and Black Sun, continues his duties of sabotaging theRepublic Rimsoos. Barriss nearly falls to the dark side when she takes bota to heal herself, but rejects it at the last second. She then uses her Force powers to locate who the spy is, and finds the culprit in Klo Merit. Dr. Vondar confronts him with ablaster and kills Merit, avenging Zan's death.

The Republic and the Separatists leave Drongar when they figure out that the drug has mutated into a useless weed, but its effects in enhancing one's Force abilities to the point of the dark side, such as from Barriss's case, still lives on unbeknownst to the Republic or Separatists. I-5YQ and Den Dhur depart forCoruscant to fulfill the lateLorn Pavan's wishes to look after his son,Jax, just as I-Five believes he has gained sentience. Barriss returns to the planet as aJedi Knight.
