The Clone Wars: Secret Missions 3: Duel at Shattered Rock, which was formerly called The Space Siren, is a book targeted towards younger readers. It is part of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Secret Missions series and was written by Ryder Windham. Grosset & Dunlap published the book, making it available on March 3, 2011.
The young Jedi, Nuru Kungurama, and the clone troopers that make up Breakout Squad are tasked with a crucial mission: safely escorting new allies across the vastness of space to Coruscant. However, this diplomatic mission takes a dangerous turn when a mysterious saboteur's true identity comes to light. Furthermore, Nuru faces a formidable, heavily armored warrior who has connections to the infamous Count Dooku. Ryder Windham, a celebrated author with over 50 Star Wars books to his name, penned this series.
Windham's contributions to the Star Wars saga have primarily consisted of freelance writing projects, meaning he typically doesn't develop his own original storylines. Instead, Lucasfilm provided him with specific guidelines and elements to incorporate into the Secret Missions series. Interestingly, the inclusion of Big Gizz was an idea conceived by Windham himself.
