Synopsis:
A lieutenant to one of the most powerful gangsters in
the galaxy, Wyl Tarson is a master of lying, cheating,
and stealing -- and a hero of the Rebel Alliance! For
years Wyl has been acquiring valuable information for
the Rebellion through his employer Raze's expansive
criminal network. That is, until Raze discovers Wyl's
second life as a Rebel spy. Now, subjected to a
mysterious procedure, Wyl has become a prisoner in his
own body, subject to Raze's every whim.
On a seemingly unremarkable backwater planet edging ever
closer to civil war, Rebel spy Wyl Tarson has an
explosive dilemma. He and his newly assembled team of
agents-a squad previously deemed by the Alliance to be
too deadly, too unpredictable, and too burnt-out to
serve-must follow the dangerous and contradictory
directions of the criminal overlord, Raze, or face
exposure and execution at Imperial hands. If that
weren't enough, an incendiary device planted deep within
Wyl's skull counts down, ticking off the last moments of
his life should he try to make a break. Given the choice
between betrayal and treason, Wyl's next move could be
his last!
A secret of tremendous importance to the Empire lies
hidden on the planet Ahakista, and when a local civil
war threatens it, Darth Vader will take its protection
into his own hands!
A ragtag team of Rebel agents have discovered the
Empire's secret on Ahakista thanks to an Imperial
officer with an agenda of her own. Yet if they are to do
anything about it, they'll need the help of the locals,
who, embroiled in a civil war, are none too eager to
take the Empire head on.
Meanwhile, Darth Vader grows tired of this backwater
planet distracting him from more pressing matters. For
his adversaries this means one thing, death at the hands
of the Sith Lord!
The crimelord Raze has put a bomb inside Wyl Tarson's
skull, which is why Wyl now leads a ragtag team on a
suicide mission to compromise one of the Empire's
greatest secrets!
In the streets of the planet Ahakista, Darth Vader wages
ruthless war against a local militia that has been
unwelcoming to the Imperial presence there. Meanwhile,
below the surface, Wyl and his crew try to infiltrate an
Imperial stronghold through ancient tunnels. Just when
unlikely success seems within their grasp, a revelation
by one of the group changes everything.
One of the Empire's most valuable secrets is about to be
compromised unless Darth Vader can get to it in time!
Deep inside an Imperial stronghold, a team of spies led
by Wyl Tarson fight for their lives. Loyal to the Rebel
cause, each is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to
complete the mission, none realizing that Tarson marches
to the orders of someone far more sinister than the
Alliance. For Tarson, this is the moment of truth-will
he betray those who trusted him with everything? One
thing is certain, once Vader arrives, few will be left
alive.
