Product Description:
After the fierce combat of Hard Contact, Triple Zero, and True Colors comes the spectacular culmination of New York Times bestselling author Karen Traviss’s gripping Republic Commando series. As a battle-scarred era nears its end, a shattering power play is about to stun the entire galaxy . . . and set in motion events that will alter destinies and resound throughout history.
Even as the Clone Wars are about to reach an explosive climax, no one knows if victory will favor the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) or the Separatists. But no matter who wins, the stakes are highest for elite Special Ops clones like the Republic Commandos in Omega and Delta squads–and the notorious renegade Advance Recon Commando troopers known as Null ARCs.
With Republic forces stretched to the max and casualties mounting, the last thing these beleaguered warriors need to hear is that Chancellor Palpatine is keeping vast armies of secret clone troops in reserve. Sergeant Skirata, a mentor to the clone commandos, has no intention of standing idly by while Palpatine sends them into battle like lambs to the slaughter. Skirata begins to plan the clones’ escape from the GAR, but his heroic effort will be in vain unless he can reverse the clones’ accelerated aging process.
Caught in the treacherous dealings of their leaders, and locked in the battles of their lives, the disillusioned Null ARCs and Commandos nonetheless fight with everything they’ve got, determined to wrest victory from the Seps and save the galaxy.
But even the deadliest weapons may not be powerful enough to defeat the real menace. And nothing will stop the apocalyptic horror unleashed when Palpatine utters the chilling words The time has come. Execute Order 66. Translation: The Jedi have tried to stage a coup, and all must be shot on sight.
With their faith in the Republic and their loyalty to their Jedi allies put to the ultimate test, how will the men of Omega and Delta squads react to the most infamous command in galactic history? All the breathtaking action, suspense, and intrigue of Karen Traviss’s Republic Commando series comes alive in Star Wars: Order 66.

I always felt Order 66 was some kind of brainwash or chip-like action, but no. The author spells out the many orders the clones had to know and 66 was just another in many contingency orders. I also was impressed she introduced the idea that not all clones blindly followed. Many were effected by the Jedi thay followed. Great looked into what makes the clones tick.

I make no secret about being an unabashed Traviss fan. I have purchased almost novel she's had published and have yet to be disappointed.
ORDER 66 had a lot to live up to, with three exceptionally good novels preceding it in the RC series. The attachments the readers have formed to the characters do not go unrewarded as the growing circle of Commandos, Clones, their training sergeants, and the Jedi who have come to understand what it means to command, all hit the breaking point as the ...

Is it really the end of the RC series... probably, given certain events in the book... is it the end of these characters... probably not. There is enough opening at the end to continue the story with a different series. I think KT might have built enough of a following to support that. Just encourage all your friends to buy this book, if you want to see more. B/c it all comes down to money, unfortunately.
That aside... the title plot (Order 66) seemed far too ancillary (secondary) ... Read More

Before buying Order 66, I read all the other Republic Commando books and loved them. They are all excellent when it comes to juggling several characters and making them all three-dimensional. Order 66 continues the tradition of the others and really makes these characters come to life.
I wish that the main characters had more of a role within Order 66, so that more of the conflict could be explored. However, I understand Traviss' decision not to do so, as the only Jedi Delta and Omega ... Read More

This whole series is fantastic. I laughed, cried, cheered, cursed and hoped. I found it to be a refreshing look at what the 'clones' actually did and how they contributed to the republic. Who would have thought that each clone had a different personality! SPECTACULAR! I pray there are more to come! I'd love to know the trials Kad'ika goes through!
Kandosii Kar'ika! OYA!
Ke nu'jurkadir sha Mando'ade.
