Publisher's Summary
''The planet Jabiim is falling to the Separatists, and the final command rests on the shoulder's of Anakin Skywalker. Obi-Wan is missing in action, and all of Anakin's fellow Jedi are dead. The honorable thing to do would be to fight to the last man, or clone, alongside the loyalist Jabiimi. The smart thing would be to live to fight another day, save as many of his remaining troops as possible and retreat. Will Anakin listen to his heart, or his head? Should he die a hero, or survive to become a general? And which decision is the right one? Is there a "right" choice?''
