ATTACK OF THE CLONES Episode II

• Hardcover with unclipped dust jacket; 353 pages; Size Approx. 6 1/2 X 9 1/2.
• Published by Ballantine Books; copyright 2002, First Edition.

Details: "Mischievous and resolved, courageous to the point of recklessness, Anakin Skywalker has come of age in a time of great upheaval.  The twenty-year-old apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi is an enigma to the Jedi Council, and a challenge to his Jedi Master.  Time has not dulled Anakin's ambition, nor has his Jedi training tamed his independent streak.  When an attempt on Senator Padme Amidala's life brings them together for the first time in ten years, it is clear that time also has not dulled Anakin's intense feelings for the beautiful diplomat.
     The attack on Senator Amidala just before a crucial vote thrusts the Republic even closer to the edge of disaster.  Masters Yoda and Mace Windu sense enormous unease.  The dark side is growing, clouding the Jedis' perception of the events.  Unbeknownst to the Jedi, a slow rumble is building into the roar of thousands of soldiers reading for battle.  But even as the Republic falters around them, Anakin and Padme find a connection so intense that all else begins to fall away.  Anakin will lose himself--and his way--in emotions a Jedi, sworn to hold allegiance only to the Order, is forbidden to have.
     Based on the story by George Lucas and the screenplay by George Lucas and Jonathan Hales, this intense and revealing novel by bestselling author R. A. Salvatore sheds new light on the legend of Star Wars -- and skillfully illuminates one of our most beloved sagas."  (from the dust jacket flap)
     The book has a black hard cover binding with gilt lettering on the cloth-covered spine.

• Hardcover with unclipped dust jacket; 432 pages; Size Approx. 6 1/2 X 9 1/2.
• Published by Ballantine Books; copyright 2008, First Edition.

Details: "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 knows 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."  (from the dust jacket flaps
     The book has a black hard cover binding with gilt lettering on the cloth-covered spine.

About Us:

Rivendell Antiquarian Books sells used rare, vintage and collectable books predominantly from pre 1970. We have been sellers of antiquarian books for over 20 years, and our experience helps ensure quality descriptions of our rare and collectable books. Be assured that we want your experience with Rivendell Antiquarian Books to be enjoyable and problem free. 

We believe that it is a travesty to simply throw away a used book when there is little or nothing wrong with it - we believe in giving each book the chance of finding a new home. We appreciate the impact a good book can have. We know the excitement of a new page turner, or the familiar joy of an old favorite, and we find satisfaction in putting older, and often scarce books in the hands of people who have the same love for old books that we do.

Customer Service:

Rivendell Antiquarian Books is committed to ensuring each customer is entirely satisfied with their puchase and our service. If you have any issues or concerns please contact us and we will be more than happy to help.

Our books have been inspected carefully by hand by experienced book valuers to ensure the condition description is as accurate as possible for this exact copy pictured. If you have questions about the book before or after purchasing, please feel free to contact us!

Packaging:

We take pride in packaging our books for safe delivery, and if you check our feedback, you will see this reflected in the comments of many pleased customers. For nearly all of our books, we use a specially designed boxing system from IPS (Inovative Packaging Solutions) located in York, PA. These media shipping boxes are designed to conform to the size of the book, securing it and preventing it from bumping around during shipping. The end result is a box which provides a double thickness of cardboard covering the front and back of the book; actually almost like a box within a box. The outer layer of cardboard extends beyond the ends of the inner "box" which very efficiently protects the corners of the book from being bumped and damaged by the sometimes rough handling packages receive in transit. In addition we place the book in a plastic bag to help guard against moisture if a package is left out in the elements.

Delivery:

We aim to get all books shipped within 24 hours of order except on weekends. We can't control the delivery time once a book leaves our hands, but most of the time USPS is prompt in delivery, and the expected delivery time given by eBay is usually fairly accurate. Because we use media mail to keep costs down, it does take a little longer for delivery, and occasionally packages get delayed in the mail system. If for some reason your order has not arrived within the expected time frame, please get in contact with us so that we can try to help you.
