Star Wars: The Clone Wars: No Prisoners audiobook free

Del Rey is publishing a series of five tie-in novels to accompany the highly successful Clone Wars cartoon series, which kicked off in the fall of 2008. Authorial duties are rotating between two Karens: Karen Traviss, notable Star Wars author with a penchant for clones and Mandalorians, kicked things off with an excellent novelization of the feature film. Karen Miller, a newcomer to the Expanded Universe, followed up with Wild Space, a harrowing but overlong tale of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Bail Organa journeying through the galaxy in search of a Sith planet. Now Traviss delivers the third novel, No Prisoners, coupling an intriguing exploration of differing Jedi philosophies with a juicy dose of clone and battle droid action.

One striking feature of the three novels published to date in this particular mini-series is the juxtaposition of their serious and introspective tone with the light-hearted adventure of the TV show. I appreciate that the authors are working to deepen the EU by not simply offering shallow tales of Jedi heroics. At times I find it a bit challenging to marry the TV show to these stories in my mind, but overall this is a great strategy and sometimes makes me see the TV episodes in a new light. For example, clone officer Captain Rex is given a meaty and provocative role in No Prisoners. He wrestles with some fundamental issues concerning the role of the clone army, what their purpose is in life, and whether there is any hope for them to be something more. These themes will be familiar to readers of the superb Republic Commando series, also by Karen Traviss, but playing them against the adventurous fun of the cartoon made them more poignant than ever, at least for this reader.

Beyond the intellectual examination of Rex and his clone squad, there are many intense action sequences scattered throughout. One particularly vivid scene involves the clones rescuing one of the main characters who is being held hostage. The pace at which they take over the situation and Rex’s brutally firm leadership make for compelling reading. Traviss deftly paints the clones as a military force to be reckoned with and the saga is all the richer for it.

Readers of Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy will be interested to know Captain Gilad (new first name!) Pellaeon is a featured character in No Prisoners. In fact, his forbidden relationship with intelligence agent Hallena Davis and what he’s willing to do to save her from danger is the prime driver of the plot. Their relationship echoes the forbidden marriage of Anakin and Padme. Pellaeon is portrayed as a smart and capable officer. Arguably, he is portrayed as TOO smart and capable: I found myself picturing the old, experienced, post-Thrawn-and-Daala Pellaeon more than a young officer making his way through the ranks. There are an awful lot of years between the Clone Wars and the Thrawn Trilogy in which he doesn’t seem to have grown much, but still, it’s a treat reading his interactions with Anakin, Ahsoka, and Rex.

Another place where the book veers tonally away from the show is in its treatment of Ahsoka. Many characters here are surprised or even shocked that a half-dressed fourteen-year-old has been given a leadership role. Pellaeon even forces her to change into military-issue clothes in an awkward little scene. Ahsoka also undergoes some mental turmoil when she is introduced to a rogue sect of Jedi who permit relationships and do not fear attachment. These Jedi, led by Master Djinn Altis and featuring Callista Masana from the Bantam novels, go against many of the precepts she was raised to unthinkingly accept.

These challenges to Ahsoka’s beliefs (and later in the story, to Anakin’s as well) underscored a theme I see woven through the Traviss stories. She seems to favor book characters over movie ones, and her anti-Jedi Order viewpoints are a strongly recurring motif. While there are times I feel she is excessively weakening characters like Ahsoka to demonstrate the Order is rotting from within, I do appreciate that she is willing to introduce and flesh out alternative views of the prequel era. She is correct that many people would likely have more negative views of the Jedi than we as movie viewers tend to, and certainly there is fertile ground to be plowed with the bred-to-fight and enslaved clone army. So while I don’t always agree with the viewpoints she espouses, I value them highly.

No Prisoners presents a balanced mix of philosophical musings about the nature of clones, Jedi, and warfare with gripping action sequences and a fast-paced storyline. Karen Traviss has made quite a mark on the Expanded Universe and shows no signs of letting up, and I am pleased Del Rey is open to publishing stories such as hers that don’t necessarily toe the line of the other media including the cartoon. No Prisoners is highly recommended.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: No Prisoners series Star War

It’s been a while since I dipped my toes in Star Wars EU since Disney took over. But I’ve been in a Clone Wars kick ever since the series wrapped up and I was seeking some more content from my favorites. Having already been very familiar with Pellaeon from Zahn’s novels, I was happy to see more of the rocksteady captain as well. I chose this one based on reviews, and I must say it was not disappointing.

Though the plot is fairly basic, the novel’s strong points are in its unabashed questioning of the system, morals, and righteousness of the Jedi and the Republic. These are the discussions I enjoy exploring in my own fanfiction writings, so it appealed strongly…though the author’s bias against Yoda is glaringly obvious. To be fair, if Ki Adi Mundi really did have a bunch of wives, I’d be pissed at Yoda too. But that was one of the more unfortunate ideas to come from The EU and I am so glad that it’s not canon.

The action is well written, particularly from the clone’s perspectives. The way she writes him, I could quite happily spend an entire full length novel in Rex’s head and not be bored. One particular exchange between Rex and Ahsoka was worth the price for me. Ahsoka was portrayed as a bit too immature and bratty, in my opinion…constantly referred to as a “child” instead of the fairly mature adolescent we know. At least she has a couple moments where you catch a glimpse of the beyond her years wisdom we see in the show (and because this is mere months after she becomes Anakin’s padawan, I can overlook it). Anakin’s struggles are also hashed out convincingly, without him coming off as too whiny or one tragic circumstance short of full blown psychological breakdown – which was refreshing. Pallaeon was fun to explore, though I never quite pegged him as such a lady’s man. He was a very clever foil for Rex, minus the skirt chasing. Callista was actually interesting ( I know, I’m still shocked). The shinies served their purpose…give them just enough lines to let you fall in love with them and then brutally kill a couple of them to rip your heart out. I loved Altis…he reminded me so much of Qui-Gon.

My only major complaint was it was too short. It got you thinking, but of course, there is no way to resolve the questions you ask. We all know how it ends of course, so it’s not necessary to reach a conclusion. It is enough to know that these characters are asking the questions, even if they don’t find the answers they want. Having read this after watching The Clone Wars finale was good though…knowing that at least two of these characters (Rex and Ahsoka) did find their way of doing what was right.

All in all, a solid novel. If you enjoy the philosophy of Star Wars as much as the space battles, this is a book for you.

Audiobook Star Wars: The Clone Wars: No Prisoners by Troy Denning

This is one of Karen Traviss’ later Star Wars books, but will please fans of her Republic Commando series as here she does what she does best – takes a bunch of unknown characters including Jedi knights, clone troopers, a battleship captain and a spy, and chronicles a very short span of their activity in the clone wars, where the good guys are supposed to be the Republic and the bad guys are the separatists. Yes, OK, we do have Annakin Skywalker, his Padawan Ahsoka and clone Captain Rex from the animated movie, but this isn’t a formulaic adventure featuring characters we already know. Instead it’s Karen asking hard questions again – about identity, human rights and the nature of love. (See her Star Wars: Republic Commando series for more hard questions.)

Spy, Halena, secret lover of Gil Pallaeon, captain of newly refitted assault ship, Leveler, is sent to the planet Athar to gather information about any proposed separatist activity and a potential threat to remove the current republic-friendly government by the downtrodden masses. Unfortunately she’s not given enough information and the invasion is already underway. Rumbled almost immediately she requests extraction and Pellaeon and the Leveler happen to be the closest vessel. Unfortunately the refit hasn’t been entirely successful and they’re on a shakedown cruise with civilian engineers on board who are trying to fix a computer glitch which has taken their most effective weapons offline.

Added to that Annakin Skywalker has sent Captain Rex with Ahsoka and half a dozen fresh-out-of-training clones to familiarise themselves with Leveler’s upgrades – that’s the theory, but in fact he’s just trying to get Ahsoka out of his hair and buy himself a bit of time with Padme – at this point in the Star Wars story arc they are secretly married and Annakin is suffering enormous guilt for forming an attachment. Add to this Master Altis’ Jedi sect which allows marriage and children and you have an interesting mix of characters who are going to start questioning a) why Yoda is so keen that the Republic’s Jedi knights be kept so strictly single and celibate, b) how and why the Republic knew that a clone army would be needed, c) whether the Republic has the right to treat clone troops like slave soldiers whose individual lives are not important and d) whether the Republic is actually the right side to be fighting on.

This is a simple get-me-out-of-here caper. What makes it interesting are the questions. Annakin and Ahsoka come up against Altis’ Jedi sect and begin to question whether attachment will turn a Jedi to the Dark Side as Yoda insists. Halena questions her activities as a spy and whether she’s on the right side. But it’s the clones who raise the most questions. Karen always has great sympathy for the common soldier, portraying them as complex individuals, even the ones straight out of basic training. Grown to maturity in half the time it takes for an uncloned human, the clones are children in a world that values them only for their expendability. Their camaraderie is as uplifting as it is heartbreaking.

Audio Star Wars: The Clone Wars: No Prisoners narrated by Marc Thompson

I was a bit unsure about these Clone Wars books which have been born from the cartoon as I thought they might be aimed at the younger generation but I found it very entertaining!
Well written and gives a good insight into the clone troopers.
