Republic Commando 1-3

The Republic Commando series (parts 1-3) by Karen Traviss

The story follows the life of several clonetrooper commandos during the Clone Wars, delving deeply into their identity as cloned soldiers, as well as their sometimes lackluster relationships with the Jedi and others. Packed with lots of military action.
