About this ebook

A gripping Clone Wars–era adventure featuring a showdown between Grand Master Yoda and his former apprentice, the sinister Count Dooku.
 
The savage Clone Wars have forced the Republic to the edge of collapse. During the height of the battle, one Jedi Knight escapes the carnage to deliver a message to Yoda on Coruscant. It appears that Dooku wants peace and demands a rendezvous. Chances are slim that the treacherous Count is sincere but, with a million lives at stake, Yoda has no choice.

The meeting will take place on Vjun, a planet steeped in evil. The challenge could not be more difficult. Can Yoda win back his once promising pupil from the dark side or will Count Dooku unleash his sinister forces against his former mentor? Either way, Yoda is sure of one thing: this battle will be one of the fiercest he’ll ever face.

Ratings and reviews

Dark Rendezvous is one of the stand-out works of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. It's humorous, knowing, and wise. In fact, its greatest difficulty is fitting smoothly into everything else, as it was written by a unique author, who took each of his characters in new directions. But it's well worth the read, and worth the several rereads. If you're looking for a fun introduction to the Clone Wars, and one not without pathos, this is it.

This is what Star wars is all about and what it should be, great characters portrayed accurately and honestly touching on the broad themes of light and dark, but also digging deeper and asking tough questions about the place we have in the universe and whether there's a point to the endless struggle, also does a great job of framing the setup to episode three and making it more understandable why the Galaxy went the way it did after order 66

I enjoyed this book,recommended for all star wars fans.Very good
