Books like Star Wars - Riptide by Paul S. Kemp
In the midst of a Galactic Alliance patrol, a Sith vessel is intercepted, revealing a hidden clone army engineered to harness the Force. Their existence threatens both sides, as the clones display physical mutations and a volatile, unaligned loyalty. Jedi Knight Jaden Korr is tasked with stopping them, though clues suggest the clones’ creator seeks to use them as weapons of absolute power. With Sith agents tailing him, Jaden must decide whether to quell the threat or confront the deeper questions of identity, morality, and the nature of the Force.
The novel blends action and philosophical conflict as both light and dark sides blur, while exploring themes of creation, responsibility, and the limits of power in a universe where clone technology and the Force intersect.
