As civil war between the Republic and the Separatists rages across the galaxy, nowhere is the fighting more fierce than on the swamp world of Drongar, where a beleaguered mobile hospital unit wages a never-ending war of its own, and where a Jedi Padawan is on a healing mission without her master. A battle is waged over the control of a priceless native plant, and an endless line of medlifters brings in the wounded and dying - mostly clone troopers, but also soldiers of all species.
While the healers work desperately to save lives, others plot secretly to profit from the war - either by dealing on the black market or by manipulating the events of the war itself. In the end, though, all will face individual tests: a Padawan, a surgeon, a galactic reporter, a conniving Hutlese administrator, and a corrupt local official. And only those of staunch spirits will survive to fight another day.

"I liked the M*A*S*H* feel of the characters and story. Having a Clone Wars novel from the medical staffs' P.O.V. is something unique and different from typical Star Wars novels also. This Medstar duology also made me a fan of Barriss Offee --4.5 stars." — Zekkaina (5 out of 5 stars)
"I liked the M*A*S*H* feel of the characters and story. Having a Clone Wars novel from the medical staffs' P.O.V. is something unique and different from typical Star Wars novels also. This Medstar duology also made me a fan of Barriss Offee --4.5 stars."
" This was an interesting story and adds a new dimension to the Star Wars universe, especially the Clone Wars. "
" The two medstar books were two of the best star wars books written in a long time. I enjoyed the character interaction as well as the story it self. A really human look at the small part of the clone wars. "
" This series could be 3 or 3 1/2 stars. Explores violence, war, and justice a lot. Pretty good. I've already forgotten a lot of it. "
" Not the best Star Wars novel, but good. "
" Not a bad book. Kind of a Star Wars M.A.S.H. story. Had merit. "
" one of the best series in the star wars universe. "
" this was a good read for me especially since Bariss Offee is one of my favorite Jedi. haven't had a chance to read the second book though. "
" Amazingly good, nothing I expected. "
" I liked the characters in this series and the smaller setting it offered. The return of Barriss Offee was also cool. "
" Much like a mash-up between Star Wars and M*A*S*H, this novel takes place during the Clone Wars. It deals with the struggle of the wartime surgeons and a medicine that can be a cure-all (and enhancer of Force abilites). It's quite a novel! "
" I dreaded reading this duology, since the concept did not appeal to me. Boy, was I in for a surprise. It was excellent! Michael Reaves did a fab job! "
" Entertaining, but not very well-written. It doesn't feel like a traditional Star Wars book due to its focus on the grittier, less fantastical side of the universe. "
