Only two tales make up the seventh volume of the Clone Wars story . . . some spoilers in the below.
Obsession
Five months before Revenge of the Sith, Asajj Ventress is presumed dead . . . but Obi-Wan has his doubts. He undertakes a personal mission to determine the truth, and ends up roping Anakin into the adventure. Deliberately misinformed by the Black Sun, they end up in a trap with the bounty hunter Durge on a derelict ship- can they escape? Yes, it turns out- and Durge is terminated for good- and his ship's logs reveal the possible location of Ventress. A Jedi task force heads to Boz Pity, and encounters all Separatist leadership (Dooku, Ventress, Grievous). Many die on both sides in the subsequent battle . . . and this time, Ventress appears truly dead. But, is she?

Anakin and Obi-Wan are on a mission to a Dooku hideout (on the planet Ruhe). Shockingly, they fall into a trap, but escape.

Overall
The first story in this collection is quite good, but the second is abysmal (worst in the series so far). Thankfully, the first makes up 80% of the volume overall. Now, we're seeing stories that say "X months before Episode III" rather than "X months after Episode II," so we know the end is nigh.
Rating: B
