Synopsis "Star Wars: Shatterpoint "

In this essential Star Wars Legends novel, Mace Windu must journey to his long-forgotten homeworld to confront a terrifying mystery with dire personal consequences.The jungle planet of Haruun Kal, homeworld of the legendary Jedi Master Mace Windu, has become a battleground in the increasing hostilities between the Republic and the renegade Separatist movement. The Jedi Council has sent Depa Billaba-Mace's former Padawan and fellow Council member-to Haruun Kal to train the local tribesmen as a guerrilla resistance force. But now the Separatists have pulled back, and Depa has not returned. The only clue to her disappearance is a cryptic recording left at the scene of a brutal massacre: a recording that hints of madness and murder, and the darkness in the jungle . . . a recording in Depa's own voice.Mace Windu trained Depa. Only he can find her. Only he can learn what has changed her. Only he can stop her. He will leave behind the Republic he serves, the civilization he believes in, everything but his passion for peace and his devotion to his former Padawan. And he will learn the terrible price that must be paid when keepers of the peace are forced to make war. . . .

Matthew Woodring Stover is an American author of fantasy and science fiction. He is perhaps best known for his Star Wars novels: Traitor, Shatterpoint, Revenge of the Sith, and Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor. He has also published several original works, such as Heroes Die, which Stover described as "a piece of violent entertainment that is a meditation on violent entertainment." His work often emphasizes moral ambiguity, psychological verisimilitude, and bursts of intense violence.

Stover has a deep interest in various forms of martial arts, having trained in the Degerberg Blend, a concept based on Bruce Lee's idea of Jeet Kune Do.
