The Official Star Wars Site has announced that LucasBooks has some new books on the horizon from the Clone Wars! A previously announced but untitled duology now has a name. Authors Steve Perry and Michael Reaves are teaming up to write the Medstar Duology, which consists of Medstar I: Battle Surgeons and Medstar II: Healer.

It is two years after the Battle of Geonosis and extended ground fighting persists on the planet Drongar. The planet is the source of bota, an important plant used for pharmaceutical purposes. The story focuses on a Republic medical team along with Jedi healer, Barriss Offee.

The two paperback books in the series are scheduled for release in July and October 2004 from Del Rey Books. Fans of Star Wars literature will recognize the authors from their previous contributions. Steve Perry wrote Shadows of the Empire, while Michael Reaves wrote Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter.
