Jedi Healer: Star Wars Legends (Medstar, Book II)

Q: Do I have to buy the ebook to participate in a book club?

No, you don’t have to buy the ebook to participate, but we do recommend it to get the most out of your club. There are several premium social reading features that are only available when you buy the ebook, like annotations, reactions, comment threads, resources, discussion prompts, and more, all embedded right in the text. It’s a unique and immersive way to read.

Q: Why can’t I buy the ebook on the app?

It’s annoying, we know. App store rules prevent us from selling directly in the app, so for now you can only purchase ebooks on our website. Don’t worry: when you purchase an ebook on the web, it’s automatically added to your bookshelf in the app.

Q: How is Fable’s reader different from Kindle?

Kindle is a straightforward e-reader; Fable is an interactive e-reader that includes social features inside the ebooks. When you read an ebook on Fable, you can see and react to the text with others in real time. Start a discussion, share highlights and quotes, add emoji reactions—all of it lives right inside the book. It’s hard to explain and easy to see, so we recommend reading the free sample in one of our most active clubs to get a feel for it.

Q: Do you sell physical books too?

We do not sell physical books at this time. Wish we did? Let us know why here!

Q: Are book clubs free to join on Fable?

Most of our clubs are completely free to join. The only exceptions are clubs marked as “Premium” or “Career Development,” which do require a fee. You can find out more on each club’s detail page.

Q: How do I start a book club with this book on Fable?

The first step is to download the Fable app. From there, you’ll be able to create your own private or public book club and invite others to read with you. Once your club is created, click on the plus sign under “Currently reading” and search for this book to add it to your club.

Publisher Description

While the Clone Wars wreak havoc throughout the galaxy, the situation on the far world of Drongar is desperate, as Republic forces engage in a fierce fight with the Separatists. . . .

The threatened enemy offensive begins as the Separatists employ legions of droids into their attack. Even with reinforcements, the flesh and blood of the Republic forces are just no match for battle droids’ durasteel. Nowhere is this point more painfully clear than in the steaming Jasserak jungle, where the doctors and nurses of a small med unit face an impossible situation. As the dead and wounded start to pile up, surgeons Jos Vandar and Kornell “Uli” Divini know that time is running out.

Even the Jedi abilities of Padawan Barriss Offee have been stretched to the limit. Ahead lies a test for Barriss that could very well lead to her death– and that of countless others. For the conflict is growing–and for this obscure mobile med unit, there’s only one resolution. Shocking, bold, unprecedented, it’s the only option Jos and his colleagues really have. The unthinkable has become the inevitable. Whether it kills them or not remains to be seen.

Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

“Star Wars: Legends: A Clone Wars Novel: MedStar II: Jedi Healer by Steve Perry, Michael Reaves adventurous challenging emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious reflective sad tense Medium-paced Plot or character-driven? Character Strong character development? Yes Loveable characters? Yes Diverse cast of characters? Yes Flaws of characters are a main focus? Yes 4.25 Stars This is the completion of the MedStar duology. Actually, I'm sad that it's over. I do hope that these characters will weave in and out of the Expanded Universe/now Legends. Barriss Offee was one of the major POV characters. Here highs and lows were interesting to be in the mind of a padawan Jedi. She's a healer, so her compassion is above and beyond, that of other Jedi who live in the Light. BUT, the temptation to pull from sources to "do good", is the major threat for her personally, and for those who want the power to effect more lives, and by doing so...they "fall" to the Dard Side...inadvertantly. The other main character that we spent a lot of time with, is Jos. Being a doctor, but also being put in a position to DO "something" to help others and stop the senseless killing that is happening in the galaxy, but especially on this faithless hell hole of a planet. Ugh. Also, really loved the struggles of I-Five. Reminds me of Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. It's a droid that is more than just the sum of its parts. The dialogue that he has with other characters in the story was great, but also its own inner dialogue that was special, too. There was some loss in this story, obviously. I will not easily forget these characters. Shame on you, authors. Lastly, I will reiterate. This duology...is the M*A*S*H* (TV series), but in the Star Wars galaxy. I really had a lot of fun reading about their immediate lives, but also their hopes for the future (away from this planet, this war, and these harrowing times...to be alive, and trying to keep Clone Troopers and others alive, to fight another day). Ugh.”

“Similar problems to the first one but worse. I’m just not a fan of this duology.”

“No good or bad really. I did like the call back to Shadow Hunter, but it was unsatisfyingly incomplete.”
