Dark Horse Comics presents Star Wars: 30th Anniversary Hardcover Collection Volume 5 – Light & Dark featuring Count Dooku! As the Clone Wars rages on, Separatist leader and secret apprentice to the Sith Lord, Darth Sideous, Count Dooku takes center stage in this collection of Star Wars stories. Across the galaxy, Count Dooku is becoming more infamous and feared at the mere mention of his name . . . And if that were not enough… Jedi Aayla Secura, Jedi Quinlan Vos, … and Aurra Sing are all given the deluxe treatment in this hardcover collection.

Now… a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… Light & Dark! The Clone Wars have begun, and what it means to be a Jedi will be changed forever! Taking on new roles as generals, warriors, and even spies, the Jedi face difficult choices about their ideals, and what they are willing to sacrifice for the Republic they are sworn to protect. Jedi Master Quinlan Vos has had more than his share of brushes with the dark side of the Force, which is exactly why he is chosen to pierce the inner circle of Count Dooku, the ex-Jedi Separatist leader. Yet to complete his mission, Vos must plunge headlong into the shadow of the dark side-a path from which there may be no return!

Liberator. Tyrant. Hero. Villain. Renegade. Visionary. Jedi. Sith lord. The enigmatic, charismatic Count Dooku is all of these things. Posing as a renegade from the Republic, Jedi Quinlan Vos has been given the assignment to earn Dooku’s trust and learn his secrets. When he discovers that Dooku’s targets include Vos’ birth planet of Kiffu and his own people, the Guardians, Quin must decide how far he is willing to go to protect his cover. Dooku, ever the master manipulator, always has another card to play, and his goal is not always what it seems. This is a story of the Clone Wars and the Jedi seen from a very different perspective.
