Star Wars - Clone Wars Med Star 1: Battle Surgeons by Michael Reaves & Steve Perry
It was a little slow and long winded I bet the whole thing could've been condensed into one novel but has been drawn out into two for some unknown reason, the story is a little bland though these two excellent authors do their best with such well dry characters. As much as I love the Jedi compared to the Luke Skywalker generation the Clone War Jedi are actually quite boring without Obi-Wan around.

It details a medical outpost where things aren't as they seem, the expensive drug 'bota' is being stolen and smuggled in some way and Padawan Barriss Offee must discover who as well as lending her healing powers to the surgeons whilst she's at it.

Its a bit bliazze really, as if they are trying to cram a whole lot of excitement for the upcoming 'Revenge of the Sith' - trying to keep the Star Wars phenomen alive - its rather sad really - but should you read it - sure why not - its an interesting glipse into the 'life' of a medics on the battle field front
