Following the eruption of the bloody Clone Wars at the battle of Geonosis, both sides remain deadlocked in a stalemate that can be broken only by elite warrior teams like Omega Squad, clone commandos with terrifying combat skills and a lethal arsenal. . . .For Omega Squad, deployed deep behind enemy lines, it's the same old special ops grind: sabotage, espionage, ambush, and assassination. But when Omega Squad is rushed to Coruscant, the war's most dangerous new hotspot, the commandos discover they're not the only ones penetrating the heart of the enemy.
A surge in Separatist attacks has been traced to a network of Sep terror cells in the Republic's capital, masterminded by a mole in Command Headquarters. To identify and destroy a Separatist spy and terror network in a city full of civilians will require special talents and skills. Not even the leadership of Jedi generals, along with the assistance of Delta squad and a certain notorious ARC trooper, can even the odds against the Republic Commandos. And while success may not bring victory in the Clone Wars, failure means certain defeat.
Also includes the bonus story Omega Squad: Targets by Karen Traviss!

What happened? Triple Zero is such a mess! I had such trouble getting into this. In fact, I never did get into it.Maybe it was because the basic premise of the plot never gelled. Hard Contact promised a commando story and did what it said on the tin; a small force, dropped behind enemy lines in difficult and not entirely foreseen circumstances, adapting to circumstances and taking out an objective. To suddenly have our commandos working to bring down a spy ring on Coruscant seemed entirelyThe characterization is very light in this book, you will need to know the characters from the previous Republic Commando books. Suggest re-reading the last right before this one, and you might enjoy more than I did.
Omega squad is deployed on coruscant, aka Triple Zero to work with fellow commandos Delta squad and the Null ARC trooper Ordo to take down a separatist terrorist cell lying right in the heart of the republic.If the first RC novel was a well paced action movie, this one is a slow burn action drama. A lot of time is spent on the large cast interacting with one another and spending time outside of battle. It's all good stuff. The downside is that it can at times feel a bit bloated and that Skirata
FB post from 7 years ago: "finished Triple Zero and was a mite disappointed."I have no idea how that translates into stars. Probably a three?
This book is not quite as good as Hard Contact (the first book in this series) but it was still an enjoyable read. The plot is somewhat convoluted and is really secondary to Traviss's forced character development of the troopers and their Seargent, Skirata. For those that have read Traviss's LoTF books, this book really delves into those characters that come back and you can see her big picture story arc coming together. Unfortunately this book is where her personal hatred for the Jedi starts to
Well this was a disappointment! All of the things I liked about Hard Contact are still here to a degree, but so dialed down or swamped by other weird stuff that I didn't end up enjoying this really at all. In my HC review, I said I appreciated that the villain was presented as a down-to-earth, competent character with a comprehensible ethos at least, but that he played such a small role in the story he might as well not be there at all. Apparently Traviss agreed, because this story just doesn't
