David McK (3816 KP) rated Star Wars: Sanctuary (A Bad Batch novel) in Books
Mar 15, 2026
One of the more recent of the Star Wars animated shows and running between 2021 to 2024, the Bad Batch (aka Clone Force 99) were a group of 'defective' clones; each of whom had their own specialty.
Hunter, Wrecker, Tech and Crosshair.
And the child clone Omega
With Crosshair following orders, and putting himself on the opposite side to his brothers whilst the series ran.
So, we're talking a slight overlap with "The Clone Wars" cartoon here, and the early days of the Empire just after Order 66.
When the series ended, Clone Force 99 had more-or-less settled on the planet Pabu, which is where this starts with the Clones on a mission to, ummm, 'liberate' some credits that can help them rebuild following a once-in-a-lifetime natural catastrophe.
That is, before things go sideways and they find themselves having to help fugitives on the run, said fugitives also taking them hostage ...
So, in short, this feels very much like an episode of the TV series, complete with - towards the very end - a terrifying Darth Vader putting in an appearance (think a bit like towards the end of Rogue One), luckily not against the Bad Batch.

The Life
By Martina Cole
⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Bailey brothers are gangsters determined to make their mark in the world. Peter and Daniel are chalk and cheese in many ways - Peter's calm exterior belies his ruthless nature, while Daniel's penchant for spectacular violence is legendary - but together they are unstoppable. From the late seventies they rule London's East End and, when their sons join the business, it seems that no one can touch the powerful Baileys. Although it's never easy at the top; there is always someone waiting to take you down - sometimes even those closest to you...Lena Bailey is determined to shield her youngest child Tania from the Life. But when a terrible tragedy occurs, Tania's eyes are opened to their world in a way that forces her to make an irrevocable choice that will determine her future. Martina Cole's gritty and gripping new novel is an unflinching portrait of a family torn apart by violence and betrayal, but ultimately bound by loyalty, by blood, and by a burning desire for revenge...
Another brutal book from Martina this time it’s a full family drama. In all the books she’s written Petey is the one character I was glad to see got what he deserved!
