I read this one slightly out of context. Apparently this is adaptation of non-aired Clone Wars animated series episodes. And it shows to a degree. If you are not aware of the events from the Clone Was series (which was the case with me) you 'll just feel like you were late for movies and missed first half an hour. But you get acquainted with the story pretty fast. And in a manner that you will feel compelled to go through Clone Wars series in the first place.

Apparently Dart Maul managed to return from the dead and create his underground criminal network linking various existing mercenary (Mandalorians among them, infamous Death Watch in particular) and criminal groups (Black Sun syndicate being one of them, which is sort of an irony since he was responsible for shattering their activities couple of years earlier). But Maul is first and foremost driven by revenge against the Dart Sidious because of his treacherous actions against the Dark-side Witches of Dathomir.

Volume is full of action in space and on ground but it feels rushed. If DH publishing had more time this story could be more developed across at least one more volume. But things are as they are I guess.

Artistically volume follows the look and feel of Clone Wars series for some elements (i.e. Mandalorians and Dathomir Nightbrothers) but for others it aims for more mature look (like Count Dooku, Sidious and Jedi's involved). Overall volume art is very good.
