Dr. Aphra teams up with Darth Vader himself in the original script to
the audiobook production--an expanded adaptation of the critically
acclaimed Marvel comics series.
Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra, rogue archaeologist, is in trouble again.
A pioneer in the field of criminal xenoarchaeology, Aphra recognizes no
law, has no fear, and possesses no impulse control. To her, the true
worth of the galactic relics she discovers is found not in a museum but
in an arsenal. This viewpoint has led to a lot of misunderstandings.
After her latest plan goes horribly wrong, Aphra's roguish ways are on
the verge of catching up to her. That's when suddenly Darth Vader,
terror of the galaxy, swoops in with his lightsaber and . . . saves her
life?
Don't get her wrong--it's not like she's ungrateful. Sure, her new boss
is a lord of the Sith. And okay, she may have just become a pawn in a
deadly game being played by him and his boss, who happens to be the
Galactic Emperor. And yes, the life expectancy of anyone who disappoints
Vader can be measured in seconds.
But she's back doing what she does best. She's got a ship to fly, a
heist to pull, and two unorthodox but effective metal buddies:
Triple-Zero, a protocol droid specializing in etiquette, customs,
translation, and torture; and BT-1, an astromech loaded with enough
firepower to take down a battlecruiser. Together, they might just find a
way to get the job done and avoid the deadly performance review that
waits at its conclusion.
Just kidding. She's doomed.
